Getting Started
What Lifeplanr is, who it's for, and how to sign up.
What is Lifeplanr?
Lifeplanr is a life-planning app that maps your entire life as a grid of weeks, months, or years. Instead of tracking just the next 7 days, you see your whole life at once — past, present, and future — and layer on a journal, travel planner, finance tracker, habit tracker, health log, relationships, and life phases. The goal: make your finite time visceral and plan the life you actually want.
Is Lifeplanr free?
Yes — the core life calendar, weekly journal, and basic people/relationship tracking are free forever. Travel planner, finance, habits, health, cloud sync, and unlimited photos are Pro features, available for $4.90/month or $39/year (34% off yearly). New accounts get a 14-day free Pro trial so you can try everything.
Do I need to create an account to use Lifeplanr?
No — you can use the free life calendar and journal without signing up; data is saved in your browser's localStorage. But to sync across devices, back up to the cloud, or use any Pro feature, you'll need a free account (email/password or Google sign-in).
Where is my data stored and who can see it?
If you use Lifeplanr without an account, your data lives in your browser's localStorage — never leaves your device. With an account, data syncs to Firebase (Google Cloud) encrypted in transit, accessible only to you. We don't sell data, we don't show ads, and we don't train AI on your journal. Export and delete at any time.
Does Lifeplanr work on mobile?
Yes — Lifeplanr is a PWA (progressive web app) that installs to your phone's home screen from the browser. It works offline, supports push notifications, and gives you a floating quick-journal button. The same app runs on desktop at full size with additional features like the printed life-calendar poster wizard.
How is Lifeplanr different from a regular journal or productivity app?
Most journal apps show you today. Most productivity apps show you this week. Lifeplanr shows you your entire life — 4,680 weeks of it — so every decision is framed against the full arc, not just the next deadline. Habits, finances, travel, and relationships are all anchored to the same life calendar, which makes time feel finite in a useful way.
Can I try Lifeplanr without signing up?
Yes. Open the app and you immediately get the life calendar + journal, saved to your browser's localStorage. No email, no card, no friction. Sign up later if you want to sync across devices or unlock Pro features — your local data ports into the new account automatically.
Does Lifeplanr work offline?
Yes — as a PWA, Lifeplanr caches the app shell and your recent data, so you can write entries, log habits, and browse your calendar without internet. Changes sync up automatically when you reconnect. A small ⚡ Offline badge appears in the header when you lose connection.
What devices and browsers does Lifeplanr support?
Any modern browser: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge (last 2 major versions). Works on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux, and Chromebooks. Install to home screen on mobile for an app-like experience. Voice-to-text requires the Web Speech API (Chrome, Edge, Safari iOS).
Is there a native app in the App Store or Google Play?
Not yet — Lifeplanr is a PWA you install from your browser (tap Share → Add to Home Screen on iOS, or the install icon in the address bar on Android/desktop). This lets us ship updates instantly without App Store review cycles. Native apps may come later if demand is strong enough.
What happens if Lifeplanr shuts down?
Your data is yours. We commit to a 90-day shutdown notice plus full export tools (JSON for everything, CSV for transactions, PDF for journals). You can also Export Data anytime from Profile → Export Data. The data formats are open — nothing is locked into our infra.
What languages does Lifeplanr support?
English is the primary language. Norwegian (Bokmål) is partially translated for Norwegian users (default currency NOK). The app accepts journal entries in any language. Full translations to Spanish, German, and French are on the roadmap. The pSEO content (FAQ, blog, country pages) is English-only for now.
How is Lifeplanr different from a paper journal?
Paper journal: tactile, no battery anxiety, search is impossible. Lifeplanr: synced across devices, full-text search across decades, photos attached, mood + tags filterable, life calendar makes time finite-feeling. They're complementary — many users use Lifeplanr for the calendar + structured logging, paper for stream-of-consciousness writing.
Is my data portable to other apps?
Yes — Profile → Export Data downloads one JSON with everything (entries, trips, transactions, habits, health, people, life phases). Open formats. Re-import is supported. We optimize for portability because lock-in builds resentment, not loyalty.
