Your profile
Your name, your photo, your member number — and the two fields that do not behave as they look.
4 min read
Profile is the first row in Settings and the only one that describes you rather than the product. It carries the banner at the top of the page, your photo, your identity fields, your password, the sign-out control, and the two ways to close the account. Everything on it except the banner is stored against your account rather than in this browser, so it follows you to a second device.
Changing your email address does not finish yet. Alltra opens the change and shows it as pending — your old address keeps signing you in, which is stated on the notice — but the confirmation message that completes the move is not being sent, so the notice stays. Nothing is lost and nothing breaks; the address simply does not move. Everything else on this page saves normally.
The identity fields
- First name and last name — how you are addressed. Your first name is what the greeting on Home reads, taken whole rather than split off a display name.
- Username — your @handle. Changing it is confirmed first, because links built on the old one stop working.
- Email address — where account notices go, and what you sign in with. See the note above.
- Bio — visible, and permanently read-only. Alltra has nowhere to store one yet, and the field says so rather than accepting text it would throw away.
The fields stay on screen but locked until you press Edit, which also reveals Cancel and Save changes. Only what you actually changed is sent, so an edit you opened and thought better of closes without a request at all.
The save carries a version of what you were editing, so if the same profile was changed in another tab you are told rather than silently overwriting it. That is not a case most people meet, but it is the difference between two tabs and a lost edit.
Your photo
PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 2048 pixels on each side and up to 5 MB. Choosing a file opens a crop popup — a round preview you can zoom with a slider and drag to frame — and what you frame is what is saved, rendered at 512 by 512. Removing the photo falls back to your initials rather than to a stock silhouette.
The file type is read from the picture’s own bytes rather than from its name, so a renamed file is refused instead of stored as something it is not. A picture past 2048 pixels is refused for its dimensions rather than for its weight, which is the difference between being told to crop it and being told to compress it.
The banner behind your name
The animated mesh at the top of the page is yours to change from its Edit action — a set of colour presets and four shapes: Smooth, Vortex, Marble and Frost. It is not saved. The choice lasts for the session and a reload returns it to the default, which is worth knowing before you spend ten minutes on it.
The photo itself is different and does save. Only the banner’s styling is session-scoped.
Your member number
Assigned once when you sign up, zero-padded to at least three digits, and never editable. It appears in two places: on the profile banner, and as the watermark that pixelates into view on the Plans hero when you hover it. It is an account identifier and nothing in the product asks you for it.
The Plans page
Alltra is free. Plans is where the account stands rather than a place to buy anything: an Alltra Member hero reading $0 per month, the four apps as cards, and a section headed “Everything included” listing what the membership covers. On a signed-in page it carries no checkout, no upgrade control and nothing that starts a purchase, because none of those exist.
