Your life as a game.
Your week as a comic.

Keep the habits you chose. Finish what you planned. Close the day. Every week, an artist draws what you actually did as a comic page, with you as the hero. You write the words.

App Store release to follow. Your book lives on your phone; only a short summary of a day leaves it, to draw the page. How that works.

A comic page of Dara's race day: laying out her kit, cooking the night before, and crossing the finish line while her mum holds out a flask LifeBook's home screen: Dara's hero card at level 10, her saga, and today's habits

How it works

The Today screen: five habits with check-in buttons, the plan, and a Close the day button
1

Play the day

Tick off habits, finish tasks, keep your plan. Every one earns EXP and coins; slipping costs a little HP. Honesty is the whole game.

Close it

At the end of the day, close it. Keep the days of a week together and they go to the artist as one page, drawn from what you did, with your hero and the people in it.

Write the words

The art is the artist's. The captions and the speech are yours, written while the week is fresh. A month of pages makes a book, with a cover.

The same page three times under the heading Your next day draws the page: in pencils, inked, and in colour

A page arrives in pencils the evening you close. Each habit, task or block you finish the next day inks a section, then colours one. Keep going and the page is finished. Skip the day and it stays as pencils, which is also the truth.

A hero who is you

Describe yourself in a sentence or two, or send a photo, and the artist draws two versions. Pick the one that is you; the rest of your character sheet follows. Every page from then on has you in it.

Or play as one of ours: Juno the fox, Otis the bear, Pip the rabbit. Otis is the one writing the novel above.

Your description and your photo are used to draw your hero and nothing else. The hero stays on your phone and goes with each page to be drawn.

The whole game

A habit app underneath, built so that the comic has something true to draw.

Boss fights: The Couch, a battle against ordering takeout, and three easy runs this week

Boss fights

Pick a week and an enemy: the snooze button, the takeout menu, the phone after nine. Win it and the comic knows.

A project called A spring half-marathon with its steps: pick the race, three easy weeks, run 12K

Projects as quests

Steps with dates, a reward at the end, and a timeline of everything you are building toward.

The Tavern: summon a companion such as Coach Bramble or The Archivist, and quests from companions

Companions

A coach, an editor, a kitchen companion: characters who send you a quest a week in their own voice and collect the reward when you do it.

The journal: mood words from great to angry, and sliders for energy through the day

A journal that remembers

Mood, energy, a few lines. The first save of the day pays EXP, and the page takes its mood from it.

The vision board: torn paper words, feed myself properly and one more kilometre, on a cork background

A vision board

Cut pictures and tear out words, glue them down, set it as your lock screen. It never leaves your phone.

The Market: rewards you set yourself, the Inn, and the Black Market for back-dated check-ins

The Market

Spend coins on rewards you set yourself. A night at the Inn restores HP. The Black Market sells a back-dated check-in, at a price.

Stats: a month of habit check-ins and moods as coloured calendar squares

Log and stats

Everything you did, day by day, and the month at a glance. This is what the artist reads.

Insights: the Chronicler notes that writing 500 words has not happened on Sundays

Insights

Agents read your log once in a while and say what they see: the habit that slips on Sundays, the deadline you have not planned for.

Pick your comic's style

Every page of a book is drawn in one style. Choose another for your next book. Dara's pages above are the superhero style; Otis's are the house style.

A book a month

Each month's pages make a book, with a splash cover drawn from the month's biggest moments and your own words about it. Read it from the start, export it as a PDF or a comic archive, and back the whole series up to a file that is yours.

The books above are Dara's and Otis's first two. Yours starts the week you do.

Book 1, September 2026, with a drawn cover of Dara running at dawn, and its subtitle Couch to somewhere
Book 1, September 2026, with a drawn cover of Otis at his desk, and its subtitle Blank pages

Yours, on your phone

Your habits, journal, plan and pages live on your phone, in a book you can back up to a file or, if you choose, to an encrypted copy on our server that we cannot open.

To draw a page, a short summary of the week leaves the phone: the habits you kept, what you finished, the people you saw, your mood, and whatever you let the comic know about your saga. You decide which areas it may draw from, and you can turn any of them off.

The privacy policy says the rest, in plain words.

Settings: what your comic may draw from, with a tick beside habits, quests, the Social Hub, the Financial Vault, the journal, your plan and the calendar

You buy pages. One page is one drawn day, or one drawn week if you keep the days and draw them together, which is how most people play.
