Lifefold is a card-based life journal. Its idea is to make life visible and ordered: here you can record any trace of your life — books, films, music, to-dos, focus time, habits, countdowns, workouts, and more. We keep expanding what can be recorded, while balancing aesthetics and minimalism, so that recording stays sustainable — truly folding the scattered thoughts along your timeline. Here is what it does: Recording, made sustainable • Each entry takes under ten seconds: choose a type, a few taps, done. No blank pages, no templates to build. • Films, shows, books and albums are matched with their artwork by name; you can also upload a screenshot or poster of your own. • Focus: manage your focus time, Pomodoro-style. • Notes: thoughts, to-dos, excerpts — set down at any time. • Days: countdowns and anniversaries, keeping the important dates always in view. Order and aesthetics • A poster wall of your own books, films and albums. • Workouts, study, habits and focus accumulate as streaks, calendars and milestones — a rhythm of life, managed by you. Looking back • Monthly review: the month's chosen cards and its composition. • Year in review: a whole year of records, folded into one shareable page. Your history • Import the films, books and music you've marked in other apps. And more • Home Screen widgets: today's cards, and the streaks waiting to continue. • Four themes: ink, paper, indigo, pine. On privacy Everything stays on your device. No account, no cloud, no data collected. Privacy Policy:https://cyberoff00.github.io/lifedeck-guide/privacy.html Terms of Use:https://cyberoff00.github.io/lifedeck-guide/terms.html
