The film 2:37
The short one. What Lifewoven is, and what it looks like when it is working.
Transcript
This is your brain, ten minutes from now. Here's how you get there.
There are four things you do, one thing you wait for, and nothing to organise. Ever.
You add Lifewoven to your home screen. There's no app store — it's a web app. One tap, and it keeps itself updated.
You sign in once.
You choose what it may read. Google will warn you that the app isn't verified yet — that's normal for a young company, and we show you exactly what to tap.
Then it starts weaving. Usually under ten minutes. You don't have to watch — close it, go and live your day.
It's building pages for the people, the projects and the promises already in your life.
When it's finished, you give it a name.
Today is what matters now. Chat is where you ask. Weave is everything you've lived, connected. And Yours is where you stay in control — including leaving, with everything you brought.
Ten minutes. And then nothing to maintain. If any step gives you trouble, each one has its own short guide.
1. Install it on your phone 1 of 9 0:52
Transcript
Lifewoven isn't in the App Store, and that's on purpose — it's a web app, so it installs in one tap and updates itself. Here's how you put it on your home screen.
Open Safari — it has to be Safari on an iPhone, not Chrome — and go to app dot lifewoven dot app.
Tap the three dots at the bottom right. You'll see a menu — tap Share, at the top.
Scroll down this list until you see Add to Home Screen. It's below the row of apps — most people miss it the first time, so keep going.
Tap Add. That's it — Lifewoven is now on your home screen like any other app.
2. Signing in 2 of 9 0:37
Transcript
You only do this once.
Open Lifewoven and tap Get started. If you've been here before, use Already have an account instead — that brings your brain back exactly as you left it.
Use Google — it's the one that's live. Microsoft is on the screen but isn't connected yet, so sign in with the Google account your mail actually lives in.
Pick your account.
3. What you're allowing 3 of 9 1:22
Transcript
This is the part people hesitate at, so let's go slowly.
Lifewoven asks to read your mail and your calendar — the recent months first, then further back each night. That's how it knows your people, your projects and the things you've promised. It reads. In your Google account it never sends, never posts, never changes a thing.
If you want the detail, tap why we ask — it's written in plain English, and it's the same list Google will show you next.
Google will now show you its own version of that list. Read it if you like, then continue.
If you see a screen like this — a warning that the app isn't verified — it looks alarming, and it only means Google hasn't audited a company this small yet. If you'd rather wait until we've been through their review, that's completely fine — tell me, and I'll let you know when we have. If you're happy to go on: tap Advanced, then Go to lifewoven dot app.
That's the hardest screen in the whole thing, and it's behind you.
4. The ten minutes 4 of 9 0:36
Transcript
Now it goes to work, and you don't.
This screen tells you what it's actually doing, line by line. It's not a fake loading bar — those are real names and real dates going by.
You can close the app. Lock your phone. Go and do something else. It keeps weaving without you, and that's the whole point of it.
Usually under ten minutes. When it's done, it'll be waiting.
5. Naming it 5 of 9 0:25
Transcript
This is your brain, the first time you see it.
Give it a name. It's the name you'll use when you talk to it, so pick something you'd actually say out loud. You can change it later, from Yours.
6. Your four screens 6 of 9 1:29
Transcript
Four screens. That's the entire app.
Today is the one you'll live in. A short brief each morning — two or three things worth knowing, one line each. Tap one to open it out. If you only ever use one screen, use this one.
Chat is where you ask. Ask the way you'd ask a person — no keywords, no folders. Every answer carries a source; tap it and you'll see exactly where the answer came from. If it can't find something, it says so rather than guessing.
Weave is everything you've lived, connected. At rest it shows no names — just shapes, so it stays quiet. Tap a node to see what it is, and to ask about it. Pinch in and the names fade up. Double-tap to come back to the whole picture.
Yours is control. What's connected, what it knows, and two buttons that matter: take everything with you, or delete all of it. No email to support, no waiting.
That's everything. Nothing to file, nothing to tidy, nothing to keep up with.
7. Going deeper 7 of 9 0:49
Transcript
If you skipped email at the start, you can add it whenever you're ready — it's the same two taps, and nothing you've already built is disturbed.
The first pass reads your recent months. Then, while you sleep, it keeps reaching further back — a little each night, so your weave gets deeper without you ever waiting for it.
How far back it reaches depends on how much mail there is, not on how many years. A heavy correspondent goes back less far than a quiet one, and I'll tell you where it stopped.
You can stop it any time, and what's already woven stays woven.
8. Lifewoven on Telegram 8 of 9 0:49
Transcript
Not everything worth keeping happens when you're sitting at a screen. So Lifewoven is on Telegram too.
Send it a voice note on the walk home, a photo of a whiteboard, or just a line of text. It goes into the same weave as everything else.
Ask it things there too. Same answers, same sources as the app — it's one brain, not two.
What goes to Telegram is what you send it. Telegram is a company you already chose; this doesn't change what they can see.
Turn it off in Yours and the link is gone — the app carries on exactly as before.
9. Your data, your exit 9 of 9 1:11
Transcript
Everything Lifewoven holds about you comes out in one file, whenever you ask.
It's built by walking everything on disk, not by a list of what we remembered to include — so if something is held back, the file says so itself.
Delete everything whenever you like. It's gone from the live machine the moment the deletion finishes — every page, every kept item, every connection record.
The encrypted safekeeping copies we keep in case the machine fails age out within thirty days. After that nothing of yours remains anywhere at all.
It only ever had permission to read. Not to send, not to post, not to change anything in your account.
And you can simply sign out. It's in Yours — one tap, and the session closes. Nothing is deleted; sign back in and everything is exactly where you left it.
