Your week, mostly handled
The house
Nothing is waiting on your
decision. When a letter is written for you it turns up here first, and
nothing goes out until you have read it.
Nothing to answer right
now. It will ask when it needs to.

An ordinary document
A letter, a bill, a form. It gets read, filed and

Something for the vault
Identity or medical. Sealed on arrival, read only
after a fresh sign-in, every look logged.

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
Close
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.

Ask
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
Only if you want to
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.

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

Sign out
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
Set up two-factor
Open this on the device holding your authenticator, or type the secret in by hand.
Store it in two places: two-factor is required to sign in, so an authenticator
lost with no second copy locks you out.
Add to authenticator app
Copy secret
Confirm
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.
Sign out everywhere
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 a passkey
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.
View as
Look at the app as somebody who is not old enough for their own account,
so their experience is proven before it is handed to them. You will lose
the screens they do not have: that is the app being theirs, not a fault.
Anything you write while viewing is filed as theirs and tagged, so it can
be cleared out on the day they get the real thing.
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.
