Why understanding yourself is so hard

Despite living in an age of unprecedented self-tracking capabilities, most people remain fundamentally disconnected from understanding their own patterns and what truly brings them well-being.

Memory Is Unreliable

Autobiographical remembering is "an iterative process of combining information stored in the mind and environment"4—meaning our recollections are reconstructions, not recordings. We consistently misremember how we spent our time and what made us happy.

Traditional Journaling Is Too Hard

While meta-analyses show journaling can be effective for mental health2, adherence remains challenging. Most people don't have 20-30 minutes daily for detailed written reflection.

Quantified Self Misses Context

Step counts and productivity metrics reduce the richness of human experience to numbers. Research distinguishes between "life logging" (capturing lived experience) and "quantified self" (optimizing metrics)4—most tools excel at the latter while failing at the former.

The technology behind LifeLens

Powered by Google Gemini AI and built with React Native for cross-platform capability. Here's what's real today.

What exists today

  • React Native app with Google Gemini AI integration for photo analysis.
  • Automatic detection of activities, people, and food from your photos using advanced AI.
  • Daily notifications at 7:30 PM and monthly analytics reports for lifestyle insights.

How beta access works

  • Fill out the form below and it pings our inbox via FormSubmit.
  • We add testers manually so we can reply with context or questions before sending the TestFlight link.
  • Response time is usually under a day because there’s no waitlist automation yet.

What's solid already

  • Google Gemini AI accurately identifies activities, people, and dietary habits from photos.
  • All data stored locally on your device for complete privacy and security.
  • Smart notification system and analytics reports provide actionable lifestyle insights.

What still needs help

  • Android version in development—React Native makes it straightforward.
  • Export features for monthly analytics reports being refined.
  • AI accuracy improves with more diverse photo samples from beta testers.

What beta testers are experiencing

Real feedback about the AI-powered lifestyle tracking experience with Google Gemini integration.

What's working

  • Google Gemini AI accurately detects activities, people, and food from photos.
  • Daily 7:30 PM notifications keep you consistent without being intrusive.
  • Monthly analytics reveal lifestyle patterns you'd never notice day-to-day.

What's still rough

  • Android version coming soon (React Native makes it easier).
  • AI analysis depends on photo quality—blurry shots may not detect everything.
  • Export features for analytics reports still being refined.

Where we need testers

  • People interested in AI-powered lifestyle insights who capture photos regularly throughout their day.
  • Health coaches and wellness professionals who want automated tracking for their clients.
  • Privacy-conscious users who value local data storage with secure AI analysis.

We're not saying journaling or habit tracking is bad—they work for different goals. LifeLens is built for people who want insights without the overhead.

Why visual tracking works

LifeLens builds on decades of research in psychology, public health, and personal informatics.

01

Photovoice Methodology

Since 1992, photovoice has demonstrated that visual documentation enables people to "identify, represent, and enhance" their experiences through photographs. Research shows it promotes critical dialogue and actionable insights in ways text alone cannot achieve.5

02

Minimal Cognitive Load

Capturing a photo takes 2 seconds vs. 20+ minutes for traditional journaling. Research on behavior change emphasizes that interventions must minimize participant burden to achieve long-term adherence.1

03

Rich Contextual Data

Unlike reductive metrics, photos preserve context. Studies on lifelogging cameras found they captured nuances that manual diaries missed entirely—social context, environments, and emotional states visible in body language.6

04

Visual Journaling Benefits

Research on visual journaling interventions shows effectiveness in reducing stress and anxiety. Studies found visual elements facilitate reflection and provide "insights into aspects of experience" that text-based methods miss.7

05

Real-Time vs. Retrospective

Experience Sampling Methods (ESM) research demonstrates that real-time data collection provides more accurate insights than retrospective recall, which is subject to systematic bias.3

06

Self-Tracking & Wellbeing

Systematic reviews confirm that self-tracking interventions, when properly designed with actionable feedback (not just data collection), facilitate positive behavior change and improved wellbeing.8

Your moments stay yours

LifeLens stores all data locally on your device. AI analysis happens through secure API calls, but your photos never leave your phone.

100% Local Storage

All photos and data stay on your device. No cloud uploads, no external servers—just your phone.

Secure AI Analysis

Google Gemini AI analyzes photos through secure API calls. Your data is never used for training.

Zero Selling

We make money from subscriptions, not your data. Never have, never will.

You asked, we answered bluntly

No marketing fog. Just practical responses to the objections people keep sending us.

Coming soon! LifeLens is built with React Native, making cross-platform support straightforward. We're focusing on perfecting the iOS experience first. Join the waitlist to be notified when Android launches.

All data is stored locally on your device for maximum privacy. Your photos and personal information never leave your phone. Only the AI analysis requests are sent to Google Gemini's secure API.

No. Your photos and data are never used to train AI models. Google Gemini processes your photos for analysis only, following strict privacy guidelines. Your personal data remains yours alone.

Beta is free. The public launch will be a simple subscription (likely $7–$10/month). Everyone who helps during beta keeps founder pricing for life.

Yes. You own your data. Export functionality is currently manual (email us), but we're building automated export to JSON, CSV, and photo archives. Your memories should never be locked in.

Photos apps just store images. LifeLens uses Google Gemini AI to understand what's in your photos—automatically detecting activities, identifying people, and tracking dietary habits. You get daily insights at 7:30 PM and monthly analytics reports showing patterns in your lifestyle. It's AI-powered life tracking, not just storage.
