How the app is organized
At the bottom of the screen there's a bar: the round assistant button on the left, five tabs on the right. They take you to any section.
- Assistant: a chat about your records. Ask about your spending or have it add a task.
- Main: your day today: money, tasks, habits, day results and the feed.
- Tasks: a switcher at the top for tasks, goals, habits and calendar.
- Notes: formatted notes, folders and sharing.
- Budget: expenses, income and accounts. Budget Plan, debts and subscriptions live here too.
- Profile: level, streak, life areas and settings behind the gear icon.
Four sections in the “Tasks” tab
Tasks, goals, habits and calendar are connected, so they share one tab. Switch between them with the buttons at the top.
Five things for day one
You don't have to set everything up on day one. Five entries in different sections are enough.
-
1
Log your first expense
Open Budget and tap +. Enter the amount, choose a category and an account. You picked the categories on first launch, and you can change them.

2
Add a task for today
In the Tasks tab, tap + and write what needs to be done. New tasks land in “Inbox”, and you can sort them into lists later. A task with a time also shows up in the calendar.

3
Start one habit
Switch to Habits, tap + and pick a ready-made template: water, workout, reading. One habit is enough to start.

4
Ask the assistant
Tap the round button in the bottom left and write in plain words: “Log a $12 taxi” or “What tasks do I have today?”. If the assistant logged the wrong thing, undo it with one tap.

Wrap up your day in the evening
Tap the day rating button on Main and choose 🔥, 👍 or 😥. In “Day results”, write what went well and what you're grateful for. A reminder comes at 21:30.

Main: your day on one screen
By default the app opens on Main. It has two tabs at the top: “Today” and “Feed”.
Today
Today's expenses and income, tasks, events and habits. Tap a block to open the full section.
Feed
This is where MyLife users share goals and wins. Publish posts with photos, react and comment.
Make it yours
Settings open with the gear icon in the top right of the “Profile” tab. Start with these five items.

- 🧩
Feature settings
You chose your sections on first launch. If you don't need, say, debts or subscriptions, turn them off here. The section disappears from the menu, and your records are kept.
- 🌱
Life area settings
Keep the life areas that matter to you. The app uses them to draw a balance radar in your profile, and the formula is explained in a separate article.
- 🎨
Appearance
Light or dark theme, color scheme, font and app icon.
- 🔔
Sound & notifications
Reminders and the sound when you complete tasks and habits.
- 🔄
Synchronization
Sign in to your account, and your records will be the same on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and in the web app. Offline, keep logging as usual: changes go to the server once you're back online.
Once you're settled in
After a couple of weeks, try goals and the calendar. They tie tasks, habits and events together.
