General FAQ

What is LifeWell?

LifeWell is a private, personal wellness platform — health tracking (vitals, water, medications, exercise, sleep, nutrition), family records, memories, notes, baby tracking, communities, professional consultations, and more, in one account. Built to keep your data yours, with multi-platform access (web + Android + iOS + browser extension).

Who built it?

Ahsan Mahmood (aoneahsan@gmail.com). One-person engineering, bootstrapped. See About the developer for full credits.

Who is it for?

Anyone who wants:

  • A private place to track personal health metrics over time.
  • A family records system (memberships, milestones, medical history).
  • A baby-tracking surface for new parents.
  • A periods / fertility tracker that doesn't sell data.
  • A digital "memory journal" with photos backed by their own Google Drive.

LifeWell is consumer-grade — not clinical software. It's a personal log + reminder + journal, not a medical-record system or telemedicine platform.

How much does it cost?

Free for all current features. A premium tier is planned for higher limits + supplementary features. Consultations with verified professionals cost credits ($0.10 USD equivalent each). See Premium and payments.

Where do I sign up?

https://lifewell.aoneahsan.comSign in → Google or email.

How do I use LifeWell across devices?

Sign in with the same account on:

  • Web at lifewell.aoneahsan.com.
  • Android app (Play Store).
  • iOS app (coming).
  • Browser extension (Chrome Web Store).

All four sync your data via Firestore — log on one, see on others.

Is my data private?

Yes — per-account Firestore documents, rule-protected. No selling. No AI training. No ad targeting. Media stored in your own Google Drive. See Privacy and security for details.

Can my partner see my data?

Only if you've explicitly set them as a primary partner and configured the data-sharing matrix to grant access. Default is no sharing.

What's the difference from Apple Health / Google Fit / Samsung Health?

AspectLifeWellBig-tech health
Source of dataManual entryAuto-captured from sensors
ScopeHealth + family + memories + notes + communityHealth metrics only
Privacy postureYour data, your account, opt-in everythingLocked into platform ecosystem
Tracking accuracySelf-reported (depends on you)Sensor-measured (more accurate)
Cross-platformYes (web + Android + iOS + extension)Vendor-locked

LifeWell complements wearable platforms — you might wear a Garmin for accurate fitness tracking and use LifeWell for the lifestyle / memory / family layer above.

Why no automatic data import from wearables?

Wearable APIs are technically restrictive, regionally fragmented, and a meaningful engineering project. We launched without to ship the core product faster. Apple HealthKit + Google Fit import are on the roadmap.

How do I delete my account?

Settings → Security → Delete account. There's a 30-day grace window before permanent purge. After 30 days, every Firestore collection under your userId is removed.

How do I export my data?

Most surfaces have PDF export. JSON-bulk-export-of-everything is planned. For now, per-surface exports cover most needs.

I found a bug — where do I report?
