What is in the box

The landing screen, and the only one that reads across modules. It pulls the next events off every calendar you can see, the tasks due or overdue, the habits you have not ticked yet, and the weather for the place you saved. That combination is what makes it worth opening first.

Month, week and day views across as many calendars as you like, each with its own colour.

Recurrence is real RFC 5545 RRULE rather than a simplified imitation, so the last working day of every month means what you expect, and an exported event opens correctly in somebody else's calendar.

Sharing works two ways. Invite another LifeHQ account to view or edit one calendar and nothing else, or publish an unguessable read-only link any calendar app can subscribe to. Revoking that link takes effect immediately, because the feed is never cached in between.

Lists, subtasks, due dates, a date-added you cannot fudge, and a memo field for the paragraph of context that does not belong in a title.

Time blocking drags a task onto the calendar, so the plan and the day are one object instead of two lists that quietly disagree.

A debt tracker built for the case where you owe rather than invest: balances, interest rates, minimum payments, and whatever extra you can find each month.

It runs a genuine amortisation in whole cents, rolls each cleared minimum into the next debt, and puts avalanche beside snowball so the cost of the more motivating order is a number rather than a feeling.

Habits are daily ticks with a streak and a heat map. Focus is a timer that records what it recorded, so the week has evidence in it rather than an impression.

Alarms and a world clock live here too, because a dashboard you open every morning is the right place for them.

Contacts hold addresses, numbers, birthdays and notes. Memos are longer-form and filed into categories you define.

Both are reachable from the command palette, which is usually faster than navigating to them.

Ctrl+K opens a command palette anywhere: jump to a screen, run an action, or search every module at once.

Quick capture takes a thought without making you decide where it belongs. It lands in an inbox you sort when you have the patience.

Six channels: in the app, on the desktop, by email, pushed to your phone, as an alarm that sounds through silent, or as a text message. Each is opt-in per channel and revocable per device, so losing a phone does not mean losing control of the others.

One reminder can carry several alerts at different times, which is not the same as five separate notes saying the same sentence.

Forecasts for the places you saved by name. LifeHQ never reads your device location — you type a place in, and that is the only one it knows.

The server does the lookup rather than your browser, so the weather service sees LifeHQ asking rather than seeing you.

Chores puts the recurring jobs on a rota across everyone you are linked to, nudges whoever it falls to, and records who actually did it rather than who it was assigned to.

Meal Plan is a week of slots you fill with recipes or with the words “leftovers”. Send the week to a shopping list and every ingredient lands on it, skipping anything already there.

Shopping keeps a list per shop, shared with whoever does the shopping, with each addition showing who wanted it.

Workouts covers running, riding, swimming, walking, rowing, climbing, yoga and full lifting sessions with every set. Only the measures that make sense for a sport are asked for, and runners, cyclists and swimmers each get the pace their sport is talked about in.

Share a log with family and their sessions appear beside yours; posting one tells them. A nod is the only reaction, on purpose.

Medications is a dose schedule with a tick, so “have I already taken it?” has an answer, and a refill countdown that warns before the last one rather than after. It is a record, not medical advice.

Subscriptions lists what renews and when, and adds it into a monthly and a yearly figure — usually a larger number than people expect. Free trials get a warning before they convert, which is the one case where doing nothing costs money nobody agreed to.

Flash Cards takes decks you build or take from the Store, with words or pictures on either side. Set it to retire a card after a few right answers in a row and a long list gets shorter as you learn it.

Journal is a line a day with a mood and pictures, drawn as a year you can see at once. Memory learns a passage by widening the gaps in it.

Home Inventory holds model and serial numbers, what was paid, and photographs of the item, its plate and the receipt — with a warning before a warranty lapses.

Vehicles tracks service history and warns by date or by mileage, whichever comes first, with separate countdowns for the renewals that turn into a fine rather than a repair.

Gifts keeps ideas against the people you buy for, using birthdays already in Contacts, and remembers what you gave last year.

News is the feeds you chose, newest first, with no algorithm and no recommendations. Paste any address that publishes a feed, or pick from a browsable list of free sources.

Videos saves YouTube videos into playlists that can loop or shuffle. Lock one and nothing outside it will play — no suggestions, no next video — which is what makes it safe to hand a child a tablet.

Bookmarks keeps the links. Paste an address and the page is read for you — title, description, site and icon — so a saved link is something you can recognise later rather than a bare URL. File them into collections, tag them, and keep a reading list that empties itself, because opening a link is what marks it read.

Search looks through titles, your own notes, tags and addresses at once. The same article saved from an email and from a chat is spotted as the same page, since the tracking parameters are ignored when comparing. Import straight from Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Raindrop or Pocket, and export the same way whenever you like — on a phone you share a page to LifeHQ, and on a desktop there is a button for your bookmarks bar.
