LifeAssist-AI 1.0.0 · Build 10. Find your installed version and build in the app’s Settings → Help & information → About LifeAssist-AI, or in the in-app guide.

Inside the unlocked Vault, choose 5. Vault Backup & Restore. This is separate from ordinary Settings → Backup & Restore, which still excludes all Vault data. The encrypted Vault backup includes passwords, secure documents and their attachment bytes, notes/codes, and other secure records. The maximum encrypted file size is 100 MB.

Tap Create encrypted Vault backup and complete fresh device authentication. The app generates a new 64-character recovery key, shown in eight groups. Write or print it and keep it separately from the backup, outside this Vault and somewhere accessible without this device. Confirm the full key, then tap Export encrypted backup. Copy Recovery Key copies it on this device for two minutes. Paste into confirmation, export the backup, then copy again before switching apps to save the key separately; switching away locks the Vault and closes setup. Choose Save to Files and verify the JSON file exists outside LifeAssist-AI. Canceling sharing does not save a backup. Each new backup setup gets its own key; keep each backup with its matching key reference, stored separately.

If indexed Vault data is missing, export shows the missing counts and asks before creating an incomplete backup of available records. Cancel to stop, or choose Back Up Available Records. Missing documents and their records are excluded; existing Vault data and indexes are unchanged. Keep older backups and their recovery keys: a new incomplete backup cannot recover missing data. Restore review also identifies incomplete backups.

To restore on the same device or another iPhone/iPad, install LifeAssist-AI on the destination and make the encrypted backup file available in Files. Keep its recovery key available separately. Set up device authentication, unlock the Vault, choose Restore encrypted Vault backup, and select the encrypted JSON file. Enter that backup’s recovery key and choose Unlock backup and review. Check the backup date and counts, then Restore missing Vault records and confirm. Fresh device authentication is required. Current record IDs are kept; separately created records with the same name can both appear. Missing records and documents are encrypted using the destination device’s protection. If interrupted, retry to add remaining records; completed IDs are skipped.

Restored secure-document expiry reminders are turned off. Review the expiry dates and set reminders again on the restored documents. Ordinary backup restore cannot restore Vault records. Recovery requires both the encrypted file and its matching recovery key; device authentication or an Apple Account recovery key alone cannot decrypt it. Support cannot recover a missing key. Anyone holding both file and key could restore the contents on their authenticated device. This is not independent two-factor authentication and does not enable automatic cloud sync.

In Item Details → Reminders, use a suggested reminder or More → Add custom reminder to enter a title and future date and time. Each reminder sends one alert on this device. Tap an existing custom reminder to edit it; date-linked reminders offer their own edit controls. Review the scheduled date before saving.

Mark as done records a finished task. Cancel Reminder stops an unwanted reminder and its pending alert without marking the task done. Both remove it from active reminder lists; the item and attachments stay saved. Close dismisses the action menu without changing the reminder. Alerts do not automatically complete tasks.

Allow notifications when asked. If alerts do not arrive, check device Settings → Notifications → LifeAssist-AI and Focus settings. Past reminders remain visible until you resolve them. Notification permission does not replace choosing a future reminder date.

No. The visible two-line prompt says “Tap to view legend list.” Tap Legends to see every category’s chart color and item count. Long press also shows a hint. Hover hints have been confirmed on iPad; touch users can read the visible guidance without hover.

This is an iOS system offer, separate from LifeAssist-AI’s Save action. Dismissing it does not save a Vault edit. If it appears unexpectedly, contact Support with the app and iOS version and steps, without sharing passwords or secure contents.

Item type describes what you are saving: Appointment, Belonging, Document, or Note. Category describes the kind within that type. Choices are alphabetical; each type has an Other option. Changing type clears a category that no longer fits. Category is optional.

A MacBook Pro fits Belonging → Electronics; a car fits Belonging → Vehicles. Its receipt fits Document → Purchases & receipts, its warranty fits Document → Warranties, its service booking fits Appointment → Vehicle service & inspections, and its service history fits Note → Maintenance notes.

Enter a recognizable name, then choose the type and category. Suggested details offer prompts, not facts about your item. Use suggested notes appears only while Notes is empty; once you type or accept voice text, it disappears to protect your writing. Fill only the prompts you need.

Voice Input adds the reviewed transcript to Notes in the current draft. Use Text does not create an item. Review Notes before tapping Save in the header. A fresh listening session starts a new transcript. Canceling does not add it. If an old transcript reappears or saved Notes differ, report the steps and app version to Support without sending private content.

Add keeps optional information in collapsible sections. Item Details groups Item information, Notes, Dates, Attachments, Saved codes, Reminders, and More actions. Expand a section to view or edit. Save sits at the top right of Add, Item Details, and Vault editors; it is enabled when changes are pending, subject to required fields and ongoing operations. Saving checks required fields and dates; correct any validation message before retrying.

Added badges and summaries identify saved content. Empty sections show Add details or an empty-state message. Loading and Needs attention have separate states. Action rows wrap when screen width or larger text needs more space. Archived items show read-only contents; restore before editing.

Date labels follow the item type and category: Purchased on / Warranty ends for belongings, Issued on / Expires on for registrations, Coverage starts / Coverage ends for insurance, and Service completed on / Next service due for maintenance notes. Appointments have an Appointment date and optional Start time and End time on that same day; an end time must be later than its start. All dates are optional. Leave unknown dates blank.

Purchase, issue, birth, received, and completed-service dates cannot be in the future when those labels apply. An end or expiry date cannot be before its corresponding start or issue date. Historical appointments and expired documents are allowed; coverage, warranty, or membership start dates can be future dates. Existing invalid saved dates are not silently rewritten, but must be corrected before saving further edits.

Choose Remind me for the date named on the form. Suggestions are 1 day before appointments, 1 calendar month before expiry or renewal, and 30 days before warranty end. Calendar-month lead times use the last valid day in shorter months. Appointment alerts count back from the start time, or 9:00 AM locally; other date alerts use 9:00 AM. Alerts must be in the future. Save item date changes before adding a suggested reminder in Item Details. A changed saved date updates its linked reminder; clearing that date or moving its alert into the past cancels that linked alert. Independent custom reminders keep their own dates.

A Done button appears directly above the iOS keyboard throughout Add, Item Details, Vault forms, and text-entry sheets. Tap Done to dismiss the keyboard and reach other fields or actions. Forms also scroll to focused inputs, and long Notes can scroll within the text field.

If an input is still covered, contact Support with the screen name, device, app version, and text-size setting. Remove private information from screenshots.

Home has four square blue-to-cyan icon buttons: Vault, Capture, Voice, and Form. Tap Vault to manage private records, Capture for camera and file inputs, Voice for reviewed voice notes, or Form to enter an item manually. Each button opens its action directly.

The What would you like to do today? information card starts expanded. Tap − to collapse it or + to expand it again. On iPhone, press and hold an icon for a help bubble; tap Close or outside the bubble to dismiss it. On iPad, hover with a pointer or supported Apple Pencil for help. Hover bubbles stay within the screen edges. A normal tap opens the action.

Dashboard at a Glance! shows active ordinary items by category in a responsive pie chart. Tap the Legends icon beside “Tap to view legend list” to open category names, matching colors, and counts. Each category has its own slice and legend count, including categories with just one item. No categories are combined into a chart-only Other categories group. The legend popup sits above the tabs, with a shorter height on iPhone and more space on iPad. The title, total, and Close button stay fixed while categories scroll. A visible scrollbar and Scroll for more hint appear when the list extends below the popup; the hint changes to Scroll up for more at the end. The highlighted Home alert separates Past and Upcoming reminder counts, including secure-document reminders, and lists expired items separately. Open Dashboard for reminders, dates, and item lists. Vault records are separate from the ordinary-item pie. When there are no active items, the chart shows a single-color placeholder circle with a zero count. Category slices appear after active items are saved.

In My Stuff, select a category such as Vehicles, then tap the Add tab. That category is preselected in Add. An empty active category also offers Add an item with the same category preselected. You can change it before saving. All does not force a category; Uncategorized chooses no category. Other draft fields stay available.

Swipe the category strip horizontally. More › appears when categories are hidden to the right; ‹ More appears when there are categories to the left. Tap either to scroll without changing your selection. Scroll vertically to see saved items and their information.

The top-left back arrow returns to the previous screen. Add, Item Details, and all four Vault editors warn before leaving with unsaved changes: choose Keep Editing or Discard Changes. Discarding removes those pending changes; it does not save them. A clean form leaves without an unsaved-changes warning. Saving a new ordinary item opens its details.

On Home, tap Capture, or start capture from Add. Camera Inputs has a row of three square icon buttons: Scan Document, Take Photo, and Scan QR-Code or Bar-Code. File Inputs has a row of two: Choose File and Photo Library. The buttons match Home’s blue-to-cyan background and bold labels. Tap a method to open it directly. On iPhone, press and hold for help, then tap Close or outside the bubble to dismiss it. On iPad, hover for help. The header explains these actions, and the amber preview guidance remains below the buttons.

1. Scan Document: scan paper pages into one PDF to keep receipts, letters, or records together. 2. Take Photo: photograph an item or document to remember its appearance and details. 3. Scan QR-Code or Bar-Code: save a code value for later and open supported web links when you choose. 4. Choose File: attach an existing PDF or file without scanning it again. 5. Photo Library: reuse a saved photo or screenshot as a reference or record.

Review the result in Preview, then choose Use in this item to return to Add. Accepted voice text, typed notes, and the capture stay in one draft. Tap the header Save to save them together. Add stages one capture at a time; add more after saving. From an existing active item, Camera Inputs & File Inputs reviews and saves to that item. Canceling acquisition keeps the other draft fields. Camera methods require supported camera hardware; cloud files must finish downloading. Capture errors and permission messages appear in dismissible popups, with Open Settings when relevant.

Use in this item stages a capture; Save in the header finishes saving the new item. Open My Stuff → All and check Active and Archived, or Search by title. Expand Attachments or Saved codes on the item. Captures added to an existing active item stay with that item. Vault documents are separate and excluded from Search and app backups. Records do not automatically sync between devices.

Item Details → Saved codes → Add Code opens the scanner directly. Cancel or Back returns to Item Details. If you opened the scanner by selecting its method in Capture, Cancel returns to the Capture menu. Neither cancellation saves a code.

Tap Voice on Home, or use Voice Input beside Notes in Add. Allow Microphone and Speech Recognition access, start listening, then review the transcript. Use Text adds reviewed words to Notes; it does not save an item or execute spoken commands. Tap Save in the header when ready. On-device recognition depends on the device and language; typing remains available.

On Home, tap Vault. Unlock with Face ID, Touch ID where supported, or your device passcode. The four sections are Secure Password Management, Secure Documents, Secure Note/Code, and Other Secure Stuffs. Expand + / − beside Privacy, recording & recovery for the explanation. Ordinary items do not require Vault authentication.

Select a record in the numbered list to see its details. Passwords, notes/codes, and other secure records offer Edit and Delete. Secure Documents additionally offers View; Share and Print are inside View. More records reveals ten additional rows. Creation dates are preserved on edits; older records can show Not recorded. Row numbers identify current positions, not permanent IDs.

The header Save reflects pending changes and required fields; saving also validates dates. New Add forms have no Cancel Edit button and do not warn before leaving an untouched blank form. Existing records show Cancel Edit, enabled only after a change. Back, section changes, and manual locking warn before discarding pending input. Automatic locking on leaving or switching away remains immediate.

Show password and Show Secure Content / Hide Secure Content are disabled when their field is blank. Revealing a saved password or secure content requires fresh device verification; canceling verification keeps it hidden. Add Other Secure Stuffs adds a named secure record. Do not dictate passwords, PINs, or other sign-in details into ordinary Voice Input.

Secure Documents shows issue date, expiry date, and expiry reminder status on the selected record without needing Edit. Files are limited to 20 MB; scans support up to 10 pages. Secure scans do not extract text. Camera Inputs provides Scan Document, and File Inputs provides Choose File. Vault documents use these secure document-only actions rather than the ordinary item capture menu; scans do not extract text. In Edit, Replace attached file or Camera Scan and Replace Document stages a replacement; Save applies it, while Cancel Edit discards the pending change.

Expiry reminders are opt-in. When none is set, use Add Reminder in the editor; after setting one, review or edit it, or choose Cancel Reminder. Save applies the choice. Lead times include 1, 2, or 3 calendar months, 7 days, 1 day, or the expiry day at 9:00 AM. The resulting alert must be in the future and on or before expiry. Linked alerts follow saved expiry-date changes. Notifications and Dashboard show neutral secure-document wording; unlock the Vault for private details.

The vault protects app-switcher previews and locks when you leave it or switch away. Screenshots, recording, and mirroring are not blocked on iPhone. Stop recording or mirroring before opening private information. Sharing or printing a secure document creates a copy outside Vault protection.

Your saved sign-in information is stored in this device’s protected iOS Keychain, separate from ordinary items. LifeAssist-AI does not upload it to its servers or transmit it over the internet. It is excluded from item search, notifications, sharing, and printing. Other Vault records and documents are encrypted locally using a device-only Keychain key. All Vault records are excluded from ordinary Search, the Home category pie, and ordinary Settings backups. Separate encrypted Vault backups require their own recovery key.

Keep another safe copy. Password Manager information does not sync through iCloud Keychain or ordinary item backups. A separate encrypted Vault backup can be restored manually with its matching recovery key. Removing or resetting the device passcode can make saved information unavailable. Delete saved entries before uninstalling; iOS Keychain entries may remain after app removal. If iOS shows a Save Password offer, it is a system offer separate from the app’s Save action. Dismissing it does not save a Vault edit.

Search is case-insensitive. One or two letters or digits match whole words: CA does not match card. Use three or more characters for partial matches: car can match card, and the matching word is highlighted in the result. Search covers ordinary saved item information, attachment names, saved text, and captured codes. Expand attachment/code groups to see their matches. Tap an item’s name or summary for details; attachment matches open the matching attachment.

Private Secure Vault records are not included in Search. Open and unlock the Vault to view passwords, private documents, notes/codes, and other secure records.

In Item Details → Attachments, select one attachment. View, Delete, and Extract Text share a compact row when text extraction is supported. Share and Print are inside View for supported formats. Extract Text can be used again; Full Text appears when recognized text is available and opens the full extracted text screen. The full text screen also offers sharing and printing. Text recognition may need correction; check it against the original.

In Saved codes, tap Add Code to open the QR/barcode scanner directly for this item. Cancel or Back from this shortcut returns to Item Details. A scanner opened from the Capture menu returns to that menu instead. Select a saved code to review it, Share Value, Delete Code, or Open URL for a web link. Scanning does not open links automatically. Swipe choices or use More indicators to reach hidden entries. Deleting requires confirmation.

On Home, tap Vault. Unlock with Face ID, Touch ID where supported, or your device passcode. The four sections are Secure Password Management, Secure Documents, Secure Note/Code, and Other Secure Stuffs. Expand + / − beside Privacy, recording & recovery for the explanation. Ordinary items do not require Vault authentication.

Select a record in the numbered list to see its details. Passwords, notes/codes, and other secure records offer Edit and Delete. Secure Documents additionally offers View; Share and Print are inside View. More records reveals ten additional rows. Creation dates are preserved on edits; older records can show Not recorded. Row numbers identify current positions, not permanent IDs.

The header Save reflects pending changes and required fields; saving also validates dates. New Add forms have no Cancel Edit button and do not warn before leaving an untouched blank form. Existing records show Cancel Edit, enabled only after a change. Back, section changes, and manual locking warn before discarding pending input. Automatic locking on leaving or switching away remains immediate.

Show password and Show Secure Content / Hide Secure Content are disabled when their field is blank. Revealing a saved password or secure content requires fresh device verification; canceling verification keeps it hidden. Add Other Secure Stuffs adds a named secure record. Do not dictate passwords, PINs, or other sign-in details into ordinary Voice Input.

Secure Documents shows issue date, expiry date, and expiry reminder status on the selected record without needing Edit. Files are limited to 20 MB; scans support up to 10 pages. Secure scans do not extract text. Camera Inputs provides Scan Document, and File Inputs provides Choose File. Vault documents use these secure document-only actions rather than the ordinary item capture menu; scans do not extract text. In Edit, Replace attached file or Camera Scan and Replace Document stages a replacement; Save applies it, while Cancel Edit discards the pending change.

Expiry reminders are opt-in. When none is set, use Add Reminder in the editor; after setting one, review or edit it, or choose Cancel Reminder. Save applies the choice. Lead times include 1, 2, or 3 calendar months, 7 days, 1 day, or the expiry day at 9:00 AM. The resulting alert must be in the future and on or before expiry. Linked alerts follow saved expiry-date changes. Notifications and Dashboard show neutral secure-document wording; unlock the Vault for private details.

The vault protects app-switcher previews and locks when you leave it or switch away. Screenshots, recording, and mirroring are not blocked on iPhone. Stop recording or mirroring before opening private information. Sharing or printing a secure document creates a copy outside Vault protection.

Your saved sign-in information is stored in this device’s protected iOS Keychain, separate from ordinary items. LifeAssist-AI does not upload it to its servers or transmit it over the internet. It is excluded from item search, notifications, sharing, and printing. Other Vault records and documents are encrypted locally using a device-only Keychain key. All Vault records are excluded from ordinary Search, the Home category pie, and ordinary Settings backups. Separate encrypted Vault backups require their own recovery key.

Keep another safe copy. Password Manager information does not sync through iCloud Keychain or ordinary item backups. A separate encrypted Vault backup can be restored manually with its matching recovery key. Removing or resetting the device passcode can make saved information unavailable. Delete saved entries before uninstalling; iOS Keychain entries may remain after app removal. If iOS shows a Save Password offer, it is a system offer separate from the app’s Save action. Dismissing it does not save a Vault edit.

Home shows the category pie and a highlighted reminder alert with separate exact Past and Upcoming counts, including secure-document reminders. Expired items are counted separately. Upcoming includes all future scheduled reminders; past reminders remain until resolved. Dashboard provides the detailed reminder, expiry, category, and Active/Archived overview. Tap an item row to open it; secure-document reminder rows open the protected Vault. A secure-reminder load error can be retried separately while ordinary Dashboard information remains available.

My Stuff separates Active and Archived items. Filter by category or Uncategorized and use Restore to return an archived item to Active. An Item restored message confirms success. Category strips scroll horizontally and use More indicators for hidden choices. Past reminders remain visible until you resolve them.

Open the Settings gear and tap a numbered section to expand or collapse it. The header has one toggle: Expand all + or Collapse all −. Collapse all keeps Help & information open. Its underlined links open the user guide, Support & contact, and Privacy policy. The distinct About block uses the app icon, a different background tone, and compact italic text for the developer, copyright, support contact, version, and build. It is separate from instructional guidance.

Choose System, Light, or Dark and a color palette: Classic, Soft Blue, Soft Green, Warm, or Lavender. Text follows device text-size settings. Wide iPad windows use larger text, input-field text, and button labels with wider content columns. Narrow Split View uses a compact layout. Accessibility text settings continue to apply. Website appearance is a separate System/Light/Dark preference remembered in that browser. Essential guidance is visible in the app. Home, Capture, and Legends use responsive square blue-to-cyan icon buttons with bold labels. Home’s chart heading reads Dashboard at a Glance! with Active items by Category and the total below. Hover help is available on iPad; press-and-hold help is available on iPhone. Help does not activate the action, and iPad does not open a second touch-help overlay.

No account is required. Core organization, local reminders, saved-file access, scanning, and text extraction work on your device. A cloud file provider, website, online sharing destination, or these support pages may require internet access.

Check device Settings → Notifications → LifeAssist-AI and allow notifications. Also check Focus, notification delivery settings, and the reminder date and time. Reminder records remain visible in the app even if alerts are disabled. Alerts do not automatically complete reminders; review, complete, or reschedule them in the app.

Use a clear, well-lit image with readable text. Check recognized text against the original. Imported PDFs need embedded text for PDF text extraction. An image-only imported PDF may return no text; scan the original or import its pages as images for image recognition.

Open a supported saved attachment or its extracted text and choose Share or Print. Sharing uses the destination you select. Printing opens the system print sheet and needs a compatible available printer. Not every file format supports preview or printing. Canceling leaves the saved attachment in place.

Backups are manual: LifeAssistAI app Settings menu → 2. Backup & Restore → Create backup / Save to Files. Save the JSON file outside this app and verify it in Files. There is no automatic backup or cloud sync. Backups include ordinary active and archived items and their attachments, but exclude all Private Secure Vault data. Files are not encrypted; maximum backup size is 100 MB. Read the complete guide.

iCloud Drive and On My iPhone backup and restore have been verified on an iPhone. Use a folder outside LifeAssist-AI’s own storage. An On My iPhone copy stays on that device; keep another copy elsewhere against device loss. Restore uses the Files picker: select the actual LifeAssist-Backup-….json file, review its date and counts, then choose Restore missing items and confirm Restore.

This restore issue has been reported and remains unresolved. A visible folder item may not yet be available to the Files picker. Sign in to Drive, check your connection, and try downloading or copying the actual JSON backup to iCloud Drive or On My iPhone before restoring. Do not choose the folder or a shortcut. See troubleshooting steps; this is a suggested workaround, not a confirmed fix.

The iPhone picker cannot browse your Mac directly. Put the backup in iCloud Drive and wait for it to become available on the iPhone, or AirDrop it to the iPhone and save it in Files. Then choose that JSON file using Choose backup to restore. See the Mac transfer instructions.

Restore adds missing items and keeps existing items with the same internal ID, including their attachments, unchanged. Repeated imports of the same backup skip those existing items. Separately created items with the same title may both appear. Archived items stay archived. Reminder records return, but notification alerts must be recreated in Item Details. Vault records and app appearance settings are not included.

Archive keeps a record indefinitely on this device. In My Stuff → Archived, choose Restore to make it active again; an Item restored message confirms success. Archived items are read only. Delete permanently removes one selected archived item and its notes, attachments, saved codes, extracted text and suggestions, and reminders. There is no Undo. Check the item name before confirming. Choose Back up first to open the LifeAssistAI app Settings menu → Backup & Restore → Create backup / Save to Files. Verify the external backup before deletion. Old backups, shared copies, original Photos/Files, and Vault records remain separate. Retry cleanup handles unfinished file or notification cleanup.

This release uses on-device text recognition, supported on-device speech recognition, and local search. It does not include live AI chat or cloud document analysis. Capturing a QR code or barcode does not automatically open a web link.
