Write

Saved the moment you tap, even with no signal. It works out what to do with it.
Upload a scanned file

A file already on this device, rather than the camera.

Upload

This is filing, not privacy. Everyone here can see the household's documents except Caitlyn and Leo, who only ever see their own.

Into the vault

Identity and medical documents go here, not into Documents. They are encrypted with a key only this app can use, and reading a value back asks you to sign in again.

Use the birth details you already gave it?

Asked once. You can take it back whenever you like, and nothing about who can see what changes either way.

Tonight's reading

Ask the sky

Who is this about

The answer is written on the Mac and lands on this sheet. If it cannot be answered from the chart, it says so rather than guessing.

Anything going on, if it helps

This is used to answer this question, and only this question. Your daily reading never sees it, on purpose: a reading that knew what happened today would be writing to fit.

Essentials

The rest (subscriptions, extras)

Every figure carries where it came from (typed, estimated from the standard financial statement, or later read from a bank statement). Correct any input rather than argue with the total.

Health

What is not on this screen, and will not be. No NHS number, no hospital reference, no figure from inside a letter. Those stay encrypted and opening one asks for your passcode again. This screen is the shape of the record; the letter is the record.

    checking...

    This signs out this device only. Anything signed in elsewhere stays signed in; "Sign out everywhere" below is the one that reaches those.

    Two-factor

    Devices

    Signing out everywhere revokes every device's ability to stay signed in. A device already in the app keeps working for up to an hour, until its current access expires. It cannot get back in after that.

    Passkey sign-in

    A passkey signs you in with this device's passcode instead of your password and a code from another app. It is kept on the device, it only ever works on this app's own address, and there is nothing to type, so there is nothing to phish.

    It asks for your passcode rather than your face: Touch ID on this iPad and Face ID on Danielle's phone are both broken, and a passkey falls back to the passcode when biometrics are unavailable. That is still one prompt instead of finding an authenticator app and typing a code.

    checking...

    Add one on each device you sign in from. Your authenticator code keeps working either way and two-step sign-in stays on, so a lost device is never a locked door: a passkey confirmed with your passcode is both steps in one gesture.

    Notifications

    One notification a day, at 07:30, carrying the first line of your morning brief. A second check at 08:00 sends something only if a deadline is inside two days. Nothing else is ever pushed.

    Who has looked

    Every time a vault value was read, stored, or asked for, and what it was for. The value itself is never recorded, only which field. This log is what makes the rest of the vault checkable rather than a promise, so it holds Life Manager's own uses as well as yours.
