Getting started
How do I get NynLyf?
Go to nynlyf.com and tap See my whole life, $5. Enter your first name and email, then your card. It's $5 once, not a subscription.
Your link arrives by email within a minute, from Josh.
I bought it. Now what?
- Open nynlyf.app on your phone.
- Tap Sign in.
- Use the same email you bought with. That's how NynLyf knows you're a Lyfer.
- Put it on your home screen (see below) and open it from that icon from now on.
How do I put it on my home screen?
iPhone: open nynlyf.app in Safari, tap the Share button (the square with the arrow), then Add to Home Screen.
Android: open nynlyf.app in Chrome, tap the three dots at the top right, then Add to Home screen or Install app.
Computer: just bookmark nynlyf.app. In Chrome you can also click the install icon in the address bar.
Is there anything to download?
No. NynLyf runs in your browser. Adding it to your home screen makes it open like an app, with no app store.
Signing up and signing in
How do I sign up?
Tap Sign in in the app. If you're new, NynLyf creates your account as you go.
- With Google: tap Continue with Google and pick the Google account that matches the email you bought with. Done.
- With email: type the email you bought with. You'll be asked to make a password, then we email you a 6 digit code to confirm it's you.
How do I sign in next time?
Tap Sign in and use the same method as before. Google is one tap. With email, we send you a 6 digit code. Check your spam folder if it doesn't show up within a minute.
It says "No Lyfer Pass found." What do I do?
You're signed in with a different email than the one you bought with. Tap Sign out, then sign in with the email you used at checkout. Still stuck? Email nynlyf@ybboring.com and we'll sort it out.
Can I use it on my phone and my laptop?
Yes. Sign in on both with the same email. Your nine tiles, tasks, and calendars sync between them.
Calendars
How do I link my calendar?
In NynLyf, tap the cat at the top right, then Link your calendar. Paste your calendar's private link and tap Link it. What's coming up shows in a strip under your nine tiles.
NynLyf only reads your calendar. It can never add, change, or delete anything.
Where do I find my Google Calendar link?
- On a computer, open calendar.google.com.
- Click the gear at the top right, then Settings.
- On the left, under Settings for my calendars, click the calendar you want.
- Scroll to Integrate calendar and copy the Secret address in iCal format. It ends in .ics.
- Paste it into NynLyf.
Where do I find my Apple Calendar link?
- Open the Calendar app on your iPhone and tap Calendars at the bottom.
- Tap the i next to the calendar you want.
- Turn on Public Calendar, tap Share Link, then Copy.
- Paste it into NynLyf. A link that starts with webcal is fine.
Anyone with that link can read the calendar, so don't post it anywhere.
Where do I find my Outlook link?
- On a computer, open outlook.com, click the gear, then Calendar, then Shared calendars.
- Under Publish a calendar, pick your calendar and Can view all details, then Publish.
- Copy the ICS link and paste it into NynLyf.
Can I link more than one calendar?
Yes, up to five. Link the first one, then paste the next link in the same box and tap Add it. Events from all of them show together. If the same event is on two calendars, it shows once.
How do I remove a calendar?
Open Link your calendar and tap Remove next to it. The calendar itself isn't touched.
Using NynLyf
What are the nine tiles?
Body, Mind, Spirit, Love, People, Work, Money, Play, and Home. Everyone has all nine. Tap a tile to add tasks and goals. Read the nine areas of life for what goes where.
What are the three priorities?
Tap the big 3 at the top and pick today's three things. Number one is the one that matters most. Tomorrow starts clean.
What are groups?
Inside a tile you can add groups, like Family and Friends inside People. Drag tasks under the group they belong to.
What is Paper view?
Tap Paper at the top for a black and white page with only the tiles you use and their tasks underneath. It's how NynLyf started, on paper, in 2014.
Why is there a cat on one of my tiles?
That's Nyn. He naps on the tile you've ignored the longest. It's the only nudge NynLyf gives. He'll move once you give that part of your life some attention.
Money and privacy
What will my card statement say?
Don't Be Boring Agency, the company that makes NynLyf.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Reply to any NynLyf email, or write to nynlyf@ybboring.com, and we'll refund the $5. No questions.
How do I delete my account and data?
Email nynlyf@ybboring.com from the address you signed in with. We delete it within 14 days. More in our privacy policy.
Still stuck?
