How to use LifePilot — organise, remember, and manage everyday life
Welcome
LifePilot helps you organise important parts of everyday life in one place: tasks, reminders, phone call plans, call trees, contacts, expenses, loans, bills, subscriptions, important dates, notes, journal, menstrual calendar, documents, home items, vehicles, and more.
Everything is stored on your device. No LifePilot account is required to start using the app.
Getting started
- Install LifePilot and open it — you can start immediately.
- Allow notifications when prompted so reminders and call alerts can fire on time.
- Use Quick Add on the Home tab to create your first task, expense, or note.
LifePilot works fully offline for normal use. Internet is only needed for optional Google Drive backup (Pro), store subscription operations, and opening store / WhatsApp / website links from the menu.
Dashboard, menu & Quick Add
Home shows what needs attention today — tasks, reminders, scheduled calls, call trees, follow-ups, bills, and loans — plus upcoming items for the next few weeks.
- Tap a card or list item to open the related record.
- Use the + button for Quick Add (task, expense/income, reminder, schedule call, call tree, loan, note, follow-up, bill, subscription, important date, journal, contact, Bulk SMS, and more).
- Open the ☰ menu (top right) for Upgrade to Pro, Create widgets, Install Latest Version, WhatsApp channel, Share App, Help, Raise an Issue, About Us, Our website, and the app version.
- Raise an Issue opens your email app with To set to noorappssupport@gmail.com and subject LifePilot:Issue:.
Manage: tasks, calls & contacts
Tasks, reminders & follow-ups
- Tasks — priority, due date, notes, category, optional recurrence. Tap the tick to mark complete (strikethrough stays on the list); use the delete icon to remove.
- Reminders — date/time with local notifications and repeat options. Same complete (strikethrough) and delete actions.
- Follow-ups — person, subject, due date, status, and notes. Same complete and delete actions.
Schedule Phone Call
- Pick a contact, group, or phone number and a date/time.
- LifePilot reminds you locally with your phone’s default ringtone; open the dialer when it is time to call.
Call Tree
- Build an ordered list of people to call.
- Add recipients from phone contacts, saved LifePilot contacts, or a contact group.
- At reminder time, walk through Call / Skip / Next until you finish the list.
Contacts & Groups
- Save favourite contacts (import from your address book with permission, or add manually).
- Organise them into groups for call plans, call trees, and SMS.
Bulk SMS
- Listed for everyone. Pro unlocks composing a message to multiple contacts or groups.
- LifePilot opens your Messages app — you confirm Send. It does not send SMS silently.
Money: expense / income, loans, bills
- Expense / Income — log spending or income with amount, date, notes, and categories. Use built-in categories or add your own. View this month and this year income, expense, and balance. Charts (income vs expense, trends, categories, top spends) and monthly budget are Pro.
- Borrowed & Lent Money — track money you borrowed or lent. Log each installment/repayment, see original amount, paid total, and balance due. Share a WhatsApp-ready summary from the loan detail or list — balance first, then totals, then a payment list with ➕ for lent/borrowed and ➖ for paybacks.
- Bills — name, amount, due date, frequency, and reminder.
- Subscriptions — provider, cost, billing frequency, next billing date, and active/cancelled status.
- Reports (Pro) — yearly expense/income breakdown, open loans summary, upcoming bills/subscriptions, and CSV export for expenses.
Life: documents, notes, journal, cycle & assets
- Document Shelf (Pro) — store passports, licenses, insurance, contracts, or custom types. Attach images, PDFs, or DOC files from camera, gallery, or phone storage. Add tags and scan text from a photo (on-device) so documents are easier to find later. Share or download attachments. With an expiry date, LifePilot creates a reminder 15 days before.
- Notes — text notes with categories, tags, and search.
- Journals — dated entries; add up to 3 photos from camera or gallery.
- Menstrual Calendar — tap an empty day to start a period. Tap a marked period to edit the dates or delete it. Overlapping periods are blocked.
- Important dates — birthdays, anniversaries, events, and custom dates with yearly recurrence.
- Goals & habits — track progress, frequency, and streaks.
- Home — appliances and items with purchase and warranty dates.
- Vehicles — registration, insurance, service dates, and odometer notes.
Large files are stored as attachments on your device, not inside the database. Drive backups include those files.
Tools: clock, codes, measure & more
Open Tools from the bottom bar. Camera, photos, microphone, and location are asked only when you open the feature that needs them.
- PDF Scanner/Creator (Pro) — document or ID card. Crop each photo, then save, share, or upload a PDF.
- QR Code Creator & Scanner — scan with the camera (flashlight on or off) or from a photo. Copy, share, or open the result. History keeps past scans. Create URL, text, contact, email, SMS, location, phone, calendar, or Wi‑Fi codes. My QR shares your contact card. Color and a center logo are Pro (the lock is visible on the free plan).
- Barcode Reader & Creator — same flow for EAN, UPC, Code 39/93/128, ITF, Codabar, PDF417, Data Matrix, and Aztec. Color is Pro. A center logo is Pro and only on 2D codes. My code stores your contact card as PDF417.
- Compass — heading dial is free. Camera, map, and satellite views are Pro (free users get a short preview, then an upgrade prompt). If the reading is weak, calibrate by moving the phone in a figure-8.
- Advance Calculator (Pro) — scientific calculator first, then expressions, history, units, percent tools, date and time, Split/Tip, and formulas (including Amount Growth).
- World Clock — analog and digital clock, saved cities, stopwatch, and timer.
- Voice Recorder — high-quality recordings saved on the phone. Play or share them later.
- Measure — Object mode locks a table, floor, or wall first (the + turns green), then you place points along the object. It does not lock onto the object itself. Plot mode walks outdoor corners with GPS. Results are estimates.
- Digital Ruler — full-screen landscape scale along both long edges. Switch inch or cm, drag for a measurement, and use the center close button to return to Tools. Calibrate from the ⋮ menu if it does not match a real ruler.
- Calendar — month view of tasks, reminders, bills, loans, important dates, and subscriptions.
- Home-screen widgets — Home menu → Create widgets. Add World Clock (live city times), Voice record (tap to start/stop), or Quick Add (jump into common create flows).
Notifications
LifePilot uses local device notifications — not a push server. Times use your phone’s local timezone.
- Tasks, reminders, bills, important dates, loans, scheduled calls, and call trees can fire local alerts.
- Scheduled call reminders use your phone’s default ringtone.
- Keep notification permission enabled for reliable reminders.
- On Android, allow alarms / exact alarms if asked, and avoid aggressive battery restrictions for LifePilot.
Backup & Google Drive
- Backup & restore is a Pro feature via More → Backup & Restore.
- Connect your Google account once; LifePilot remembers it so you are not prompted every time (remove the account in Settings if you want to switch).
- Backup uploads a ZIP of all app data — including documents, journal photos, and voice recordings — to your Drive folder LifePilot.
- Auto Daily Backup writes one extra file, LifePilotAutoDailyBackup.zip, once a day and replaces that same file. Manual backups are kept as their own files. The daily file appears in the backup list so you can restore it.
- The daily backup runs when you open LifePilot (after you unlock, if app lock is on) and you are still signed in to Drive.
- Restore downloads a backup from Drive and replaces your current local data (confirm carefully).
Security, search & calendar sync
- Optional App lock under More → Security. When enabled, LifePilot asks for your PIN when you open the app (and after you leave it in the background).
- Search under More finds tasks, notes, expenses, loans, documents, and more on your device.
- Calendar sync under More (or Settings) can write important dates, task due dates, and bills to your phone calendar when you grant calendar permission.
Free vs Pro
LifePilot is one application. Free and Pro are entitlements inside the same app.
- Free — core modules including tasks, calls, money, life tracking, and more, with sensible limits.
- Pro — Bulk SMS, Document Vault, PDF Scanner/Creator, Advance Calculator, expense charts & budget, QR and barcode color and logo, advanced search & reports, export, Google Drive backup & restore (including Auto Daily Backup), higher limits.
If Pro expires, your local data is not deleted. Free features keep working; Pro-only features become unavailable until you renew.
Privacy
LifePilot is local-first: no LifePilot login and no LifePilot cloud sync for everyday data. See the full Privacy Policy.
