Feature Guide
Life's core idea is "just say it": you describe, AI records, queries, and summarizes. This page covers every area in detail.
Natural Language Journalingβ
Describe it in the home input box β AI extracts the amount, date, category, and account into a confirmation card:
| You say | Life records |
|---|---|
| lunch cost me 32 today | Expense 32 Β· Food Β· today |
| paid $20 for lunch | Expense $20 Β· Food |
| got paid, salary 12,000 | Income 12,000 Β· Salary |
- Dates: colloquial time words like "yesterday", "last Friday"
- Categories: auto-assigned, editable on the confirmation card
- Multi-currency: recorded in the currency you mention β "spent 200 HKD" and "paid $20" are stored as HKD and USD. Stats are grouped per currency, never converted (CNY / USD / EUR / JPY / HKD / TWD)
Batch Operationsβ
- Batch logging: "lunch 30 every weekday last week" creates all entries at once
- Batch updating: "change all last week's taxi rides to 20" β Life first shows you exactly which records will be affected and how many; nothing changes until you confirm, and every batch is audit-logged
Query, List & Filterβ
- Just ask: "how much did I spend this month?", "how much on food last month?", "what did I buy last week?"
- The list pages support browsing and filtering by time range, keyword, and category
- When your phrasing is ambiguous, AI shows candidates to pick from instead of guessing
Edit & Deleteβ
- "change yesterday's lunch to 35", "delete the entry I just made"
- When several records look similar, AI lists candidates for you to confirm β no accidental deletions
Accounts & Transfersβ
- Maintain accounts in settings (WeChat, Alipay, bank cards); mention one while logging β "paid with Alipay" β and it's linked
- Transfers: "moved 5,000 from my bank card to Alipay" β transfers don't count as income or expense
- Balance adjustments: correct an account to its real balance, adjustment history preserved
- If you don't mention an account, the most recently used one is applied
Lending & Borrowingβ
- Keep a ledger per person (family, friends, colleagues); record loans and repayments
- Repayments are settled against the oldest outstanding loan automatically (FIFO), and each person's outstanding balance is always visible
- "lent Li 2,000 last month, they paid back 500 today" β two entries, remaining balance computed for you
Budgetsβ
- Set budgets per category and compare against actual spending
- Overruns are immediately visible on the stats page
Mood Journal & Screeningβ
- Record daily mood and physical state; over time this builds your mood curve
- Optional PHQ-9 / GAD-7 self-screening (from the home page), with results shown by severity level
Important
Screening is a reference self-assessment tool only. It is not a medical diagnosis or advice. If you are struggling, please seek professional help.
Medication Logβ
- Track medication over time
- Mood and medication data are sensitive and stored encrypted (see Privacy & Data Security)
To-dosβ
- Jot down to-dos mid-conversation; manage them all from the list page
Correctionsβ
AI won't always guess your habits right. When it misunderstands:
- Fix the field directly on the record, or
- Teach it with a correction β tell it what you actually meant
Life remembers your corrections and applies them to similar phrasings later β it gets better the more you use it.
Two Modes: Task & Chatβ
| Mode | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Task mode (default) | Log, query, edit, delete β every operation has a clear confirmation card and result |
| Chat mode | Open conversation about spending, mood, and medication β grounded strictly in your real records, never made up |
