Life Management is a personal planner built around one question: what am I supposed to be doing right now? TIMETABLE Your day as time blocks on a live rail - a now-line that slides down as the hours pass, a ring that drains while the current block runs out, and a second-by-second countdown to the next one. Blocks repeat only on the weekdays you choose, so the same slot can be the gym on Monday and a run on Tuesday. Blocks can run past midnight and carry their own icon. CHECKLISTS INSIDE A BLOCK Break any block into small steps. Keep a step every day, or add one to today only. YEAR MAP Your whole year on one line. Every task is a coloured branch running from its start date to its deadline, so something due in December visibly spans the months in between. Sub-tasks sit on the branch as beads, dated or spread evenly along it. Tap a branch for its checklist. MONEY Net worth against your target, assets and liabilities, monthly and yearly cashflow, cash on hand and your FIRE number. Crypto and the USD rate are priced live. A trading journal records each idea with its horizon, thesis and a pre-trade discipline checklist. HEALTH Track any measurement you care about, with a target and a history chart. NUMBERS AND REVIEW Blocks done, sub-tasks ticked, time elapsed and time remaining, focus hours, countdowns to the next block and to bedtime, and a 7-day on-schedule trend - folded into one line until you tap it. At the end of the year, every day is drawn as a single square you can replay. WIDGET The block you are in and the one coming next, with its countdown, on your Home Screen and on your Mac - without opening the app. REMINDERS A notification when a block starts, plus a diagnostics panel that shows you exactly what is scheduled and when it will fire. Sign in with Apple or Google. Your data syncs between iPhone and Mac. Note: the app interface is in Vietnamese.
