Getting Started

What is LifeVela?

LifeVela is a personal wellness OS that tracks six dimensions of your life — health, habits, finance, professional, social, and fitness — and synthesises them into a single Life Score. It helps you see where you are, understand patterns, and take intentional action.

Is LifeVela free to use?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 habits, 20 finance transactions per month, basic Life Score, Forge (3 items/day), and 2 basic AI insights. The Pro plan unlocks the full product — unlimited habits, unlimited finance entries, the full AI layer, and more.

How do I get started?

Create an account, complete the 6-step tutorial on your dashboard, and you will earn a 14-day full Pro trial. The tutorial takes about 10 minutes across your first few sessions and generates real data in the process.

What is the Life Score?

Your Life Score is a single number (0–100) that reflects your overall wellbeing across six dimensions. It is calculated from your actual logged data — habits, health entries, finance activity, and more. It is not a grade. It is a compass.

Pricing and Plans

How much does Pro cost?

Pricing varies by region — we show the relevant price for your location automatically. You can also change your region manually on the pricing page.

What happens when my trial ends?

Your data stays exactly where it is. The Life Score keeps running. You move back to the free plan until you choose to upgrade. Nothing is deleted.

Can I get more than 14 days of trial?

Yes. Complete the 6-step tutorial to earn 14 days Pro. Then invite someone who genuinely uses the product — when they complete their first Forge item, you both get 14 more days. Maximum benefit is 28 days total.

Do you offer refunds?

If you are not satisfied within 7 days of your first paid subscription, write to hello@lifevela.com and we will process a full refund. No questions asked.

Life Thread

What is Life Thread?

Life Thread is your private daily journal inside LifeVela. It is a dedicated space to write, reflect, and search your personal story — separate from your scores and data. Entries are date-stamped, fully searchable, and visible only to you.

How is Life Thread different from the rest of LifeVela?

Most of LifeVela is about structured data — habits logged, expenses tracked, workouts recorded. Life Thread is unstructured. It is where you write in your own words: what happened today, how you felt, what you noticed. It complements your scores with the context behind them.

Can I use hashtags in Life Thread?

Yes. Type any word with a # prefix (e.g. #gratitude, #work, #family) and it becomes a searchable tag. You can filter all your entries by tag to find patterns in what you write about most.

Is Life Thread private and secure?

Yes. Your journal entries are stored privately and are never visible to anyone else — not to team admins, not to LifeVela. You can also enable a passcode lock on Life Thread from within the journal settings for an extra layer of privacy.

Can I set a daily reminder to write in Life Thread?

Yes. You can enable a daily reminder with a custom time from the Life Thread settings. The reminder nudges you to write at least one entry per day.

Can I export my Life Thread entries?

Yes. You can download all your journal entries as a file from within Life Thread. Your words belong to you.

Is Life Thread available on the free plan?

Yes. Life Thread is available to all users — free and Pro. Writing and reflecting on your life should not be gated.

For Teams

What is LifeVela for Teams?

LifeVela for Teams is an enterprise plan designed for companies with 50–500 employees. It includes aggregate wellness scores, team challenges, monthly HR reports, an admin panel, and the Wellness Pulse API. Individual data is never visible to managers.

How does the team trial work?

Teams get a 14-day full access trial, limited to 5 users. Invitations are only accepted from official company email domains — personal email addresses (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, iCloud) are not permitted. This ensures the trial is used by actual team members.

What is the Wellness Pulse API?

The Wellness Pulse API lets you integrate anonymised team wellness signals into your internal dashboards and HR systems. It is available exclusively for paid team customers — not available during the trial period.

How is individual privacy protected in the team plan?

Individual scores, habits, and personal data are never visible to managers or admins. The team dashboard shows only anonymised aggregate data — score ranges, activity heatmaps, and trend lines. No individual rows are ever exposed.

What is the minimum team size?

The minimum is 10 seats on an annual billing plan. The trial allows up to 5 users. To discuss custom arrangements, write to hello@lifevela.com.

Privacy and Data

Who can see my data?

Only you. LifeVela does not sell your data, does not show ads, and does not share your personal information with third parties. If you are on a team plan, your individual data remains private — managers see only anonymised aggregates.

Where is my data stored?

Your data is stored on Supabase (PostgreSQL), hosted on AWS infrastructure. LifeVela is a product of Nirvana Nikhilum Private Limited, incorporated in India.

Can I export or delete my data?

Yes. You can export your data as CSV from Settings. You can also request full account deletion from Settings → Account. Deletion is permanent and irreversible.

Does LifeVela use my data to train AI models?

No. Your personal data is never used to train AI models. AI insights are generated in real time from your own data and are not stored or shared.

Product and Features

What is the Forge?

The Forge is your daily intention-setting module. Each day, you set 3 (or 7 on Pro) most important things you want to accomplish. It is not a to-do list — it is a focus filter. Items carry forward if not completed.

What is the Annual Letter?

Your Annual Letter is a private, AI-generated reflection on your full year — written from your actual data. It is available on the Pro plan and uses our highest-capability model. It is generated once per year and is yours alone.

Does LifeVela connect to health apps?

Pro users can connect LifeVela to Apple HealthKit and Google Health Connect. Sleep, workouts, and activity data sync automatically. The free plan requires manual entry.

What is Pattern Mirror?

Pattern Mirror is a Pro feature that surfaces correlations in your data — for example, how your sleep quality correlates with your habit completion rate, or how your finance stress correlates with your mood. It runs weekly and shows you patterns you would not notice manually.
