DISCOVER CLARITY AND DESIGN A LIFE THAT TRULY REFLECTS WHO YOU ARE Sharelight is the first bilingual (English & Spanish) app that helps you define your personal goals before you even start planning. Unlike traditional productivity or task apps that focus on checking off endless lists, Sharelight empowers you to pause, reflect, and explore what really matters to you. Our app is built on the belief that true progress starts from within. Whether you want to reconnect with your identity, strengthen relationships, focus on mental wellness, or balance your career and family life, Sharelight guides you with warmth and intention every step of the way. WHY SHARELIGHT IS DIFFERENT? * Start with clarity, not chaos: Instead of asking you to jump into task lists, Sharelight leads you through thoughtful reflection prompts across life areas such as health, family, career, emotional well-being, and more. You’ll uncover your true values and priorities, making sure your goals align with what’s most important to you. * Emotional goal visualization: Turn your dreams into a visual experience by attaching images to your goals, like a personal vision board in your pocket. See your aspirations come alive and stay motivated through inspiring visuals that keep your purpose front and center. * Action plans for every part of life: Sharelight supports you in creating personalized action steps for all areas of your life, not just fitness or work. From parenting and relationships to self-care and creative pursuits, you can design a balanced roadmap that fits your unique journey. * Bilingual, culturally aware guidance: With fully bilingual support in English and Spanish, Sharelight honors your cultural identity and language preference. It’s not just translated, it’s thoughtfully designed for multicultural users, making every prompt and feature feel authentic and supportive. * Gentle progress tracking: Forget about guilt-inducing streaks or rigid daily reminders. Our intuitive, low-pressure progress system focuses on compassionate consistency, allowing you to pick up where you left off without judgment. * Integrated self-reflection tools: Sharelight blends mental wellness with goal-setting by including self-reflection prompts that help you explore emotions, process challenges, and reconnect with your sense of purpose. * Accessible anytime, anywhere: Sync your plans seamlessly across your devices so you can check in during a coffee break, while commuting, or before bed. Your goals stay with you wherever you are. WHO IS IT FOR? Sharelight is designed for busy adults, professionals, parents, creatives, and anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed. If you’ve ever felt like you’re moving through life on autopilot, juggling responsibilities without a clear sense of why, Sharelight is your safe space to slow down, rediscover your purpose, and take intentional action. Our users love Sharelight for its human touch. It’s not about pushing you to "do more," but about helping you "be more" — more aligned, more connected, and more authentic. START TODAY Download Sharelight and begin designing a life you love, one goal, one reflection, and one inspired action at a time.

About

Hours Given

Read full description

Hours Given is a private life audit and daily review app for understanding where your hours went and choosing what to protect next. REVIEW WHAT YOU KNOW Track an activity in the moment, add past time, or reconstruct a day by typing. Save known periods incrementally. Leave unresolved time Open, or explicitly mark it Unknown. Rest does not need to be justified, and the app does not pretend every minute is known. TRY A 7-DAY LIFE AUDIT The optional free audit opens a fixed seven-date window. Starting it creates no activity entries or reminders. Only Day Reviews you complete become evidence; untouched dates stay untouched. CHOOSE WHAT COMES NEXT See What Today Became and choose Tomorrow's Anchor: one realistic part of tomorrow you want to protect. Follow reviewed evidence through Moments, Days, Patterns, Trajectory and Legacy as enough history becomes available. Authored reflections and Life Chapters remain your words, not an identity assigned by the app. PRIVATE AND LOCAL-FIRST Your primary archive stays on your device. Hours Given has no in-app account, advertising, third-party tracking, remote analytics or external AI service. Optional Calendar and Motion context requires your permission and stays a suggestion until you review and save it. On-device speech reconstruction is optional when supported; typing remains available. HELP AND FEEDBACK Report a bug, describe something confusing, or suggest an improvement. Write a message, optionally choose up to three screenshots and include app/device details, then preview before sharing by email. Activity records and logs are never added automatically. Email services process what you choose to share. Unsent drafts remain on your device; cancellation or failure keeps your draft. If Mail is not configured, copy or share the prepared report with an email app you use. FREE AND PREMIUM Free includes the daily capture, review and correction loop, the 7-Day Life Audit, current Week, your first eligible evidence-grounded reflection, access to existing authored material, raw archive export, a readable archive summary, privacy and deletion controls, and purchase restoration. Premium adds repeated eligible reflections and cross-window synthesis, earlier Weeks, Month and Year views, Pattern Evidence, What Changed, Trajectory Explorer, new Life Chapters and extended archive search. Sparse or uncertain evidence is not turned into a confident conclusion. A lapse does not take away your existing authored material, correction, ownership exports or deletion controls. Subscriptions renew unless canceled in your Apple Account settings. Restore Purchases and Manage Subscription are available in the app. Hours Given reflects allocation and intention, not a productivity score. Open time can stay open. Unknown time can stay unknown.
