How can we help?

Yes — LifeCompanion is completely free to download and use. All core features including habit tracking, the morning routine, meditation timer, medicine reminders, and the vitality ribbon are free with no time limits.

We may introduce optional premium features in the future, but the core app will always remain free.

No account required. Open the app, complete a short onboarding, and you're ready. There's no sign-up, no email, no password.

All your data lives on your device. The trade-off is that if you switch devices, your history doesn't transfer automatically — we plan to add cloud backup in a future update.

Yes. LifeCompanion is built with Flutter and is available on both the Apple App Store (iOS 14+) and Google Play (Android 8.0+).

The Vitality Ribbon is a 7-day colour strip on your home screen that shows your habit completion at a glance. Each segment represents one day — the colour tells you how much you completed:

Grey = no activity · Amber = getting started · Green = good day · Deep green = excellent day

The ribbon updates live as you complete habits. A 🔥 streak badge appears when you have 3 or more strong days in a row.

Tap the + tile at the end of the quick-action row on the home screen. You can set a name, icon, colour, type (counter, checklist, timer, or numeric), and daily goal. Custom habits appear alongside the built-in ones.

Yes. Tap any dot on the day timeline to open the activity popup, then use the delete option. For habit logs, go to the Reports or Log detail screen where individual entries can be removed.

The streak badge on the vitality ribbon requires completion above 50% of your active habits for each consecutive day. If you had a day with low activity (below that threshold), the streak will restart from the next active day.

Individual habit streaks (shown on habit detail cards) are calculated separately and only require at least one log per day for that specific habit.

The Longevity Score is a projected bonus in years added to your baseline life expectancy based on the healthy habits you complete today. It is not a medical prediction — it is a motivational estimate based on well-established research into lifestyle and longevity.

Each habit carries a weighted contribution: exercise, meditation, medicine adherence, hydration, and fasting each add a different amount. Missing key habits can apply small deductions. The score updates live throughout your day as you log activity.

Tapping the Morning tile launches a fully guided session with 7 traditional exercises, each running for 80 seconds. The session advances automatically — you don't need to tap anything. A 10-second rest screen appears between exercises.

Background music plays automatically. You can pause the session at any time or stop it early. The session is approximately 10 minutes total. If you have GIF files for the exercises in the correct asset folder, they will display during each exercise.

A few things can prevent notifications from arriving:

1. Notification permission may have been denied — check Settings → LifeCompanion → Notifications and ensure they are enabled.

2. Do Not Disturb or Focus mode may have silenced the notification.

3. On Android, battery optimisation can kill background processes — go to Settings → Battery → LifeCompanion and disable optimisation.

Important: Never rely solely on app notifications for critical medications. Always maintain an independent system for managing important medicines.

Tap the Fasting tile to start a fast. A countdown timer begins and a timeline event is created. When you end your fast (by tapping the tile again), the duration is logged. You can set fasting targets (16:8, 18:6, 24h, or custom) in the fasting tile settings.

No. All health data — habits, logs, medication schedules, meditation sessions, longevity scores — is stored exclusively in a local database on your device. It is never uploaded to any server.

The only external calls the app makes are to a weather API (to show local conditions on your timeline), which sends only your approximate location — no personal health data is ever attached to this call.

No. LifeCompanion contains no advertisements and no ad tracking SDKs. We chose to keep the app ad-free because we believe health data and advertising don't belong together.

All locally stored data is permanently deleted from your device when you uninstall the app. We hold no copies of your data on any server, so there is nothing for us to delete on our end.

If your device has iCloud or Google backup enabled, a backup copy may exist in your cloud storage — you can delete this manually from your device's backup settings.
