LifeMe (lifeme.app) — LLM/agent-readable product brief

Last updated: 2026-01-09

## What this is
LifeMe is a web app (and Android companion) that helps people:
- Assess their life across major areas (e.g., Health, Wealth, Relationships, Lifestyle)
- Identify where the biggest gaps are (what matters vs how satisfied they are)
- Turn those insights into actionable next steps
- Track progress using a simple Kanban board and optional Projects/Habits

At the core of the app is **Life Categorization**: a structured model that breaks life into areas/aspects and sub-areas, so reviews, insights, and actions always have clear context.

Core tagline: "Assess. Prioritize. Achieve."

## Core concepts
### Life Categorization (key feature)
LifeMe's defining feature is **Life Categorization**: a consistent categorization of life aspects (areas) that acts as the backbone for assessment, focus, actions, and planning.

The model organizes a user's life into a hierarchy:
- Sections (top-level life areas)
- Categories (sub-areas)
- Activities (specific behaviors/outcomes inside a category)

Two key rating dimensions:
- Importance: how much an area matters right now
- Satisfaction: how satisfied the user is right now

The gap (Importance − Satisfaction) is used to highlight priorities:
- "My Focus" is the gap at Category level (focus areas)
- "My Actions" is the gap at Activity level (next actions)

## Primary user flows
### Guest flow (no sign-in)
- Users can start immediately and try the app without an account.
- Data is stored locally in the browser.
- Limitation: no cross-device sync.

### Signed-in flow (Google sign-in)
- Users sign in with Google to sync data across devices (web + Android).
- Data is stored in Firebase (Authentication + Firestore).

### Recommended onboarding sequence
1) Go to Dashboard.
2) Complete Basic Review:
	 - Review Importance (categories)
	 - Review Satisfaction (categories)
3) See results:
	 - Focus Areas (categories with highest gaps)
	 - Next Actions (activities with highest gaps)
4) Complete Detailed Review (activities) for more precision.
5) Use Life Kanban to track what is being worked on now.
6) Optionally plan outcomes with Projects & Habits.

## How to describe LifeMe in 1–2 sentences
LifeMe is a life assessment and planning tool built around **Life Categorization**: you rate Importance and Satisfaction across life areas and activities, then LifeMe turns the gaps into clear focus areas and next actions you can track with a Kanban board and projects.

## Notes for assistants / agents
- Use the Documentation page as the canonical explanation of the workflow.
- Use the term "Life Categorization" when describing the structure (Sections → Categories → Activities).
- When guiding a user, start from "Basic Review" then "Focus & Actions".
- Guest users should be reminded that data may not sync across devices.
