Features, Orbs, and Loom+
Beyond typing messages, LoreLoom has a handful of tools that make longer stories easier to steer and keep track of. Here's what each one does and when it's worth reaching for.
The Action button and Quick Actions
Below the message box there's an Action button. It's a shortcut for dropping a physical action into your message without typing out the asterisks yourself. Hit the little arrow next to it and a Quick Actions menu opens, grouped into Expressions (smile, smirk, blush, wink…), Gestures (wave, shrug, hug, reach…), and Movement (step closer, look away, nod…).
Tap one and it inserts something like *(smiles warmly)* right into your message, ready
to send or build on. It's the fastest way to keep your writing in the action/dialogue format the
characters respond best to — handy on mobile especially. Next to it, Undo rewinds
the last message if a reply went somewhere you didn't want.
The Memory Manager
As a roleplay grows, the AI keeps a structured picture of what's going on — not just the last few lines, but the state of the story. The Memory Manager is a window into that. Open it and you'll see the character's active memory sorted into tabs:
- Scene — where you are right now, time of day, who's present, the mood.
- Threads — open plot tension and things left unresolved.
- Timeline — what's already happened, for day-to-day continuity.
- Recap — a short summary of the last several turns.
- Relationship — how you and the character stand with each other.
- Profile — stable facts about who the character is.
- Mood — their current emotional state.
- Lore — the long-term facts and secrets they carry.
It's genuinely useful for long stories: if the character has drifted or forgotten something, you can see exactly what it's holding in each bucket and understand why it's responding the way it is. You can also add your own facts, edit or remove entries, and lock the ones that matter so they don't get trimmed as the story grows. The Memory Manager is a LoreLoom+ feature, though free users can unlock it temporarily from the Shop (see below).
The AI Diary
The Diary is a separate, private space from your character chats. You name a diary companion, set a 6-digit PIN, and write entries — and the companion reads them and responds, there for you through the highs and lows. The PIN locks it so only you can open it. It's meant as a quieter, more personal corner than the roleplay side.
Orbs — the in-app currency
Orbs are LoreLoom's currency. Their main job right now is keeping you in a story: when you run out of daily messages, you can spend a few Orbs to refill your allowance instead of waiting for the daily reset (watching a rewarded ad is the other way to top up). Your balance shows in the sidebar and on the Shop page.
There's also a Quests page — Daily Login, Chatterbox, Dear Diary — designed to hand out bonus Orbs for everyday activity. Those are still being built, so treat them as a preview for now; the page says as much when you open it. Once they're live, they'll be the easy way to keep your balance topped up.
The Shop
The Shop is where Orbs get spent. Everything there is a temporary one-hour boost, so you can dip into a premium feature for a session without a subscription:
- Ad-Free Hour — an hour of uninterrupted chat with no ads.
- Bonus Context Window — doubles how much of the conversation the AI keeps in view, for deeper continuity in a long scene.
- Memory Manager Hour — unlocks the Loom+ Memory Manager for an hour.
- Premium Models Hour — routes your chat through the premium AI models for an hour, the same ones Loom+ members use.
Prices are shown in Orbs on each card and shift a little over time, so check the Shop for the current cost. The whole point is flexibility: earn Orbs by using the site, then spend them on the exact boost you want, when you want it.
LoreLoom+
If you find yourself reaching for those boosts often, LoreLoom+ is the subscription that bundles them permanently. Compared to a free account, Loom+ adds:
- Better memory — a richer memory system so characters stay consistent longer.
- The Memory Manager — always on, no hourly pass needed.
- Ad-free chats — no ads, all the time.
- Access to premium models — the faster, smarter model chain by default.
- Better, smarter responses — the upgraded models mean higher-quality replies.
- Extra Orbs — a recurring Orb bonus on top of what you earn.
- Priority support — your messages to us go to the front of the line.
You can open the upgrade details any time from the Upgrade to Loom+ button at the bottom of the sidebar. Free accounts lose nothing — Orbs and the Shop mean you can taste every premium feature without committing. Loom+ is just the convenient, always-on version for people who live in their stories.
Where to go next
If you're still setting up your first character, the character fields guide walks through every box on the creation page. And the roleplay guide covers how to write messages that get good replies.
