For iPhone · in private testing

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

Check off your habits. Finish what you planned. Close the day. Every week, LifeBook 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.

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 LifeBook draws them as one page, from what you did, with your hero and the people in it.

Write the words

LifeBook draws the art. 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 reveals the page: in pencils, inked, and in colour

LifeBook draws the whole page the evening you close, then shows it to you in pencils. Each habit, task or block you finish the next day reveals a section in ink, then in colour. 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 LifeBook 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. Pick a part to see it.

Boss fights: The Couch, a battle against ordering takeout, and three easy runs this week
A project called A spring half-marathon with its steps: pick the race, three easy weeks, run 12K
The Tavern: summon a companion such as Coach Bramble or The Archivist, and quests from companions
The journal: mood words from great to angry, and sliders for energy through the day
The vision board: torn paper words on a cork background
The Market: rewards you set yourself, the Inn, and the Black Market for back-dated check-ins
Stats: a month of habit check-ins and moods as coloured calendar squares
Insights: the Chronicler notes that writing 500 words has not happened on Sundays

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.

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, short excerpts from that day's journal, 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.

Questions

Do I have to write prompts?

No. LifeBook reads what you did: the habits you kept, what you finished, who you saw, your mood. You only write the captions and the speech, if you want to; a page without words is still a page.

Who draws the pages?

AI. LifeBook writes each page's story from your week with Anthropic's Claude, and draws it with Google's Gemini image model, in the style you chose and with your hero in it. No person draws your pages, and no person reads your week. The app asks for your agreement before anything is sent, and you can turn it off in Settings; the game keeps working without pages.

What if I skip a day?

Nothing is drawn for it, and the page you were revealing stays in pencils. That is the truth of the day, and the comic does not pretend otherwise. You can finish a page for coins if you want it coloured anyway.

What leaves my phone?

A short summary of the days a page covers, your hero, and your choice of style. The summary can include short excerpts of what you wrote in the journal that day, up to a couple of sentences each; turn Journal off under "what your comic may draw from" and nothing from it is sent. It never includes amounts of money, or anything else you have turned off there. The book itself stays on the phone; an encrypted copy on our server is opt-in and we cannot open it.

Can I change the style, or my hero?

A book is drawn in one style; the next book can be another. Your hero can be redrawn from a new description or photo at any time; pages already drawn keep the hero they had.

Is it a habit app or a comic?

Both, in that order. Habits, tasks, a plan, a journal, projects, boss fights and companions work with or without pages. Pages are what you buy; the game is yours for good.

Android? iPad? The web?

iPhone first. The web app at app.comiclifebook.com reads your book if you keep a server copy. Android is not planned yet.

The first week is the hardest to draw and the best to keep. LifeBook is on TestFlight now, for iPhone, and comes to the App Store after.
