Where it starts

Choose three to five parts of your life to look after.

Family, health, work, sleep — anything you like. Not a list of everything: the handful of things you'd be sad to look back on in a year and find you ignored.

And when life bends, the app bends with it. A pillar can rest on weekends, take a holiday while you're away, or be replaced if your year genuinely changes.

The evening check-in — how did you feel today: good, neutral or bad
Each evening

One minute: bright, dim or unlit.

How was the day? How did each pillar fare? Add a note when something's worth keeping. On a rough day, one word is enough — or nothing at all.

Busy night? Press and hold the reminder and the day is logged without opening the app. In the morning there's a Write page for thoughts that won't wait — your sentences are sorted into the pillars they touch, kept in your own words. And check-ins work offline; everything syncs when you're back.

The point of it all

Then it keeps you pointed at what you chose.

The week ahead — what do you want to focus on next week?
The weekly focus

Choose what next week is for.

One focus a week, and what would make it a win. The app keeps it in view all week — and on Sunday it asks how it went, in your own words. Not a checkbox: your words.

The weekly report — this week's light, and two honest sentences from the Keeper
The Sunday report

Every Sunday, your week read back to you.

What rose, what dipped, and two honest sentences from the Keeper, who read your notes. Down weeks are allowed to be down — the report says what happened, not what you should have done.

A monthly letter from the Keeper
The monthly letter

Each month closes with a letter.

Written by the Keeper about what actually happened — with your own words quoted back, dates and all. Two minutes to read. Worth keeping for years.

A conversation with the Keeper
The Keeper

Someone who has actually read your story.

The Keeper is My Lighthouse’s companion. It remembers your year and answers plainly, with your actual days and notes to hand — never with guilt.

It writes your monthly and annual letters, remembers what you were working on, and if you’re ever in real distress it steps out of the way and points you to real help.

Powered by Claude, by Anthropic. Your entries are never used to train AI models.

"I didn't know how much I needed this app in my life. After 5 months, so much has changed in terms of better habits. I now find myself consistently thinking throughout the day about what little step I can take toward specific pillars."

FAQ

Common questions.

What is My Lighthouse?

My Lighthouse is a daily companion for iPhone that helps you pick three to five priorities — your "pillars" — that matter most to you, check in on how each is going, and notice when you've drifted off course. It's a quieter alternative to streak-driven habit trackers: no streaks, no leaderboards, no guilt — just a clearer mirror of your day.

How is this different from a habit tracker or journal app?

Habit trackers focus on whether you did the thing. Journals focus on what happened. My Lighthouse focuses on what matters to you — the pillars of your life right now, like health, family, work, or learning — and how you feel about each over time. Mood check-ins and journaling are there, but the centre of the app is your priorities, not your tasks.

What are pillars?

They're yours. You pick three to five when you set up the app — the things you'd be sad to look back on in a year and find you ignored. Some people pick life domains (Health, Family, Career); others pick values or roles (Discipline, Curiosity, Being a good partner). You choose them for the year in spirit — and when life bends, the app bends with it: a pillar can rest on weekends, take a holiday while you're away, or be replaced mid-year if your life genuinely changes.

Is My Lighthouse free?

Yes. The daily practice — your pillars, evening check-ins, private notes, trends, the weekly report every Sunday, and one conversation day each week with the Keeper — is free forever. One simple subscription, £19.99 a year (VAT included), adds the monthly and annual letters from the Keeper, plus the Keeper every day.

Is my data private?

Yes. Your written reflections are encrypted on your device using AES, the industry standard, before they sync — so they're stored as unreadable ciphertext, on servers in the European Union. When the Keeper reads your journal to write to you, your entries are processed by Anthropic's Claude and are never used to train AI models. You can lock the app with Face ID and it will auto-lock when you walk away. Check-ins work offline and sync when you're back. We don't sell data and there are no ads.

What is the Keeper?

The Keeper is the app's companion. It writes your monthly and annual reports as letters — quoting your own notes, with dates — and you can talk with it about how things are going. It knows your journal, speaks like a friend rather than a therapist, and if you're ever in real distress it points you to real help (in the UK, Samaritans on 116 123). It runs on Claude, by Anthropic, and your entries are never used to train AI models.

Can I journal weekly instead of daily?

Yes. If daily feels like too much, switch to a weekly rhythm: one check-in each week, same pillars, same reports. The picture forms either way — choose the pace that you'll actually keep.

Is My Lighthouse available in French?

Oui. The whole app — every screen, every report, every letter from the Keeper — is fully localized in French. This page exists in French too, at mylighthouseapp.com/fr.

Is My Lighthouse available on Android?

Not yet — My Lighthouse is currently iPhone and iPad only. If you'd like an Android version, email team@mylighthouseapp.com so we can show real demand.
