The essentials about Life Catalog.

A private personal library for organizing what you want to live: books, travel, projects, experiences, and whatever actually matters to you. You can note why it deserves your time, and what it left with you when you lived it. Not for day-to-day errands.

Yes. This version is free. You can build your catalog, organize it, and use it privately at no cost. If a later version adds more integrations, that will be optional.

No. Settings has two prompts: one for the AI to build a first catalog from your interests, and one to convert a list you already have (including long lists, in batches). Paste the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, or another assistant, import the JSON, review the preview, and confirm.

Not exactly. A bucket list is usually a checklist of big dreams. Life Catalog is a library of what you want to live: it can include that, and also smaller things, works, learning, and projects. It asks why something deserves your time, and when you live it you can note what it left with you.

Yes, if “organize my life” means what you want to live in the short and long term, not shopping, routines, or productivity. It is for choosing and sorting experiences with intention.

No. Life Catalog is not designed for shopping lists, daily tasks, routines, streaks, or productivity. It does not try to help you do more. It helps you choose better.

You can create categories and collections for books you want to read, albums you want to hear, films you want to watch, places you want to visit, skills you want to develop, projects you want to create, and experiences you want to remember.

There is no correct catalog. You decide what deserves a place in yours.

No. Adding something is not a promise or an obligation. Your catalog can change with you. You can leave it pending, begin it, live it, or consciously discard it.

No. Dates are optional. Life Catalog does not turn your experiences into deadlines.

The Library looks forward: it contains what you still want to explore, learn, experience, or create.

My Story looks back: it preserves the moments and experiences you chose to remember.

Because your time is limited. The question helps you distinguish between something that truly matters and something you are simply accumulating.

It is an optional reflection after an experience. It is not meant to produce a review, but to preserve how something affected you, what you learned, or why it became part of you.

Yes. Your catalog is private by default. There are no public profiles, feeds, followers, or social content.

Yes. When you sign in with Google, your data securely syncs across the devices where you use Life Catalog.

Yes. You can export a complete JSON backup and a readable CSV of your items. Your data remains yours.

From Settings, you can delete your account and all associated data. Deletion is permanent.
