The details that hold life together, in one place

LifeThreads App Illustration

For every kind of family. Every kind of life.

Someone always ends up keeping track of all the information that is scattered across inboxes, drawers and folders. If you're reading this, it's probably you.

LifeThreads makes this easy — it keeps the details for you — and for the people you trust.

Three simple ideas

Threadballs, Threads and Strands. Each one holds a different piece of the picture. Together, they make the whole thing easy to manage, easy to share, and easy to find when you need it.

Threadball

A Threadball is a person — you, your child, a parent, a partner, a friend.

Thread

A Thread is an area of life — Health, Home, Work, Travel, Identity and more.

Strand

A Strand is the detail inside a Thread — a diagnosis, a utility account, a pension, a visa.

Start with a Threadball

A Threadball is a person — yourself, your child, your parent, your partner, your co-parent, or anyone whose details you help manage. Create one for each person in your life and keep everything about them in one place.

Organise with Threads

Threads are the big areas of life — Health, Identity, Home, Work, Travel, Money and more. Each Thread keeps the right information in the right place, so nothing gets lost and nothing gets missed.

LifeThreads Choose Thread Screen

Fill in the Strands

Strands are the details that live inside each Thread — a diagnosis, a passport, an insurance policy, a vaccination record, a utility account. Everything that matters, exactly where you'd expect to find it.

Built around your life.

LifeThreads works quietly in the background — keeping you informed, organised and always one step ahead. Swipe through.

Feature 01

Always swipe left.
Everything at your fingertips.

Swipe left on any strand, thread or notification to reveal a set of contextual actions — share, edit, delete, archive, respond and more. Only the actions relevant to what you're looking at will appear.

Feature 02

Favourites — your inner circle,
always front and centre.

Your home screen shows Threadballs in your Favourites. Everyone else is in the Community page — tap + to add a new Threadball, Thread or Strand for yourself or someone else. A key means Joint-Owner access; a lock means Read Only.

Community
Connected Apps
Feature 03

Enter it once.
Everyone's on the same page.

Add a strand that involves someone else — a joint mortgage, travel booking, insurance policy — and LifeThreads automatically creates it in their Threadball too. Enter it once; everyone stays current.

Search
Feature 04

Find anything.
In seconds.

Type a name, number or provider and results appear instantly — showing whose Threadball it's in, which Thread, and the key details. No opening records one by one.

Internal Share External Share
Feature 05

Share exactly what's needed.
With whoever needs it.

Share any strand with another LifeThreads user by username — as a Joint-Owner or Read Only. For anyone outside the app, share externally via SMS, email or WhatsApp, formatted and ready to read.

My Privacy
Feature 06

You decide who sees what.
And you can change your mind.

Found in Settings, My Privacy shows everyone with access to your information and their access level. Swipe left on any name to give access to someone new, change an existing level, or remove it entirely.

Education Certificates
Feature 07

Every result.
Every achievement, recorded.

Capture academic qualifications, professional certifications, music grades and sports results — all in one place. For academic records, go beyond the headline grade and log results at individual module level.

Passport Expiry
Feature 08

Renewals, handled.
Before they become a problem.

Record a document once and LifeThreads tracks it. A colour-coded badge shifts from navy to amber to red as the deadline approaches, then to EXPIRED if missed — so nothing slips.

90 Days
On the horizon Coming up — noted, but no rush yet.
45 Days
Time to act Getting close — a good moment to arrange renewal.
15 Days
Act now Urgent — renew as soon as possible.
Expired
Expired Missed deadline — resolve immediately.
Medication Linked
Feature 09

Every strand tells
the full story.

When a medication is prescribed for a diagnosis, the two strands are linked automatically. The LINKED badge signals more context exists — open it and the CONNECTION section shows exactly what it relates to.

Linked
Linked records Signals that this strand is connected to another.
Key Financial Dates
Feature 10

Key financial dates.
Never missed.

Fixed-rate mortgage periods, interest-free windows, loan terms — LifeThreads tracks them all and alerts you as they approach, so you act in time rather than revert to a worse rate by default.

Interest Free
Interest free period Tracks the end of your 0% promotional window.
90 Days
Fixed rate — on the horizon Rate change coming — noted, no rush yet.
45 Days
Time to review Start comparing rates before this period ends.
15 Days
Act now Urgent — fix a new rate before you revert.
Home Utilities
Feature 11

Every property.
Everything under one roof.

Council tax, utilities, mortgage, rental agreement — everything connected to a property, in one place. One property or many, it's all organised and shared with whoever needs it.

Continuous Medication
Feature 12

Ongoing medication,
always up to date.

The repeat icon flags continuous medication. Every 30 days, LifeThreads sends a follow-up asking the user to confirm they're still taking it — keeping the record current. Each strand shows when it was last updated.

Continuous
Continuous Marks medication taken on an ongoing basis.
Immunisation Tracking
Feature 13

Every dose tracked.
Until you're protected.

LifeThreads tracks every dose of a multi-dose immunisation — where, when, and any notes. The badge counts down remaining doses until the course is complete, then replaces it with a green shield.

Doses Left
Doses remaining Course incomplete — tracks remaining doses.
Protected
Protected Course complete — fully immunised.
Visa Application
Feature 14

Something's missing.
We'll flag it.

Some strands are naturally a work in progress — a pending visa, an awaited result. Where there's an open step, the ACTION badge appears as a quiet reminder. Once resolved, it clears automatically.

Action
Action required Missing information or a pending step.

Private by design

Your records are encrypted on your device before they reach us and are stored on Amazon Web Services, already locked.

Each record has its own key. Only you hold them — not even we can read what's inside.

Encrypted on your device

Records are encrypted with XSalsa20-Poly1305 — modern authenticated encryption from libsodium, the most widely deployed open-source cryptography library — with a 256-bit key per record and tamper detection built in.

A key for every record

Each Strand — and every photo or document attached to it — has its own encryption key. There's no master key that opens everything.

We hold only locked keys

The keys we store are themselves locked, so we can't open them. We cannot read what's inside your records.

Your passphrase becomes your key — on your phone

Your master key is created from your passphrase right on your device, using OWASP-recommended Argon2id. That key never leaves your phone, and we never store your passphrase.

Only you hold the way back in

When you join, you get 12 recovery words. If you ever forget your password, they're the only way to unlock your records — not even we can do it without them. Keep them safe: real privacy means there's no back door, not even for us.

Document scanning stays on your device

When we read a passport or licence to fill in fields for you, it happens on your phone. The image never leaves it.

Sharing passes a key, not a copy

When you share, you're handing someone a key — sealed so only they can use it. They see nothing until they accept. Revoke it, and their access ends and their key is destroyed.

What we do see

To run the app, we process a few practical details — like who's involved in a share (for example, that you shared something with “Sarah”), and which Thread a record is filed under (for example, “Health” or “Travel”). We never see what's inside — not the diagnosis, not the passport number, only the label on the Thread.

Less searching. More living.

LifeThreads gives you back the headspace that gets lost keeping track of everything. The answer is always there when someone needs it.

Peace of mind, always within reach

The important details about the people you love — safe, organised and there the moment they're needed.

Built for real family life

Co-parenting across two homes, caring for an elderly parent, supporting siblings from a distance — LifeThreads works for the families people actually live in.

For single parents carrying it all

One place for everything — school records, medical history, emergency contacts — and simple to share with whoever helps you.

For the families we choose

Not every family is defined by blood. Share exactly what you want with exactly who you trust.

A gift for the people you leave behind

A Threadball prepared in advance means the people you love won't have to search. One of the most thoughtful things you can do for them.

A record that grows with them

From a first vaccination to a first passport — a complete record that stays with them and is ready to hand over when the time is right.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Everything you store is encrypted on your device before it ever reaches us — not even we can read what's inside your records. Only you, and the people you choose to share with, can see your information.

Ready when you are.

Free to download. Your first Threadball takes about a minute.
