FAQ

Straight answers.

What it is, what it isn't, and what happens to your data.

What exactly is a Personal OS?
One system that holds every part of your life instead of one slice of it. A task app knows about tasks. miya.life holds the car, the house, the warranties, the pets, the semester, the money and the day, and puts whatever needs you next on one screen.
Is the task side serious enough to be my only task app?
Yes. Projects, boards, sub-tasks, priorities, repeats, natural-language capture, and day, week and month calendar views with .ics import, built to replace a dedicated task app outright. The difference is the other 39 systems standing next to it, all reading each other.
How does the voice assistant work?
Tap the mic once and talk. A pause sends what you said; the answer comes back spoken in a natural voice; the mic reopens by itself, so it's a conversation, not a dictation exercise. Start talking over it and it stops to listen. It runs on your device's speech engines in the browser, no smart speaker, no wake word, and it's off unless you start it.
Do I have to use all 40 systems?
No, and you shouldn't at first. Every system switches off and disappears, sidebar, dock, home screen, everywhere. Turn one on later and it's there, empty and waiting.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes, it's built mobile-first and installs to your home screen on both iPhone and Android. Same login, same data as the desktop, and the mic works wherever the browser has one.
Does it work offline?
Installed, yes. It opens without a connection, your data is there, and edits sync when you're back. If two devices edited the same thing while apart, the newer content wins and you're told what was superseded.
How does family sharing work?
Each person has their own account, the Family plan covers up to five. You grant specific groups, sixteen of them, from shopping and calendar to pets, bills, trips and notes, to specific people, view-only or edit. Shared records show whose they are. Nothing else crosses over.
What is the AI actually doing?
Reading the system you're looking at, live, and answering about it: summarize this, what needs attention, or whatever you type or say. It writes your morning and evening briefings, builds your news editions with linked sources, and can search the web. It's included, no API key to bring, no per-question charge.
Can it really handle school?
Yes, terms, classes with a schedule grid, nine kinds of assignments, exams, weighted grade categories, and a live GPA. Homework due soon shows up on the home screen with everything else that needs you.
Can I get my data out?
Yes, whenever, as a full export. A weekly backup is also emailed to you automatically, so a copy is already in your inbox. The export is the guarantee.
Where does my data live?
On the miya.life server, in your own isolated account. It isn't sold, mined, or handed to advertisers, and there are no third-party trackers on the app.
What about the sensitive systems, cycle, vault, the emergency card?
They're flagged sensitive: masked until you deliberately reveal them, and never included in shared groups. Files are streamed through an authenticated endpoint rather than a public link.
How does billing work?
A 30-day free trial of everything, with no card. After that it's $9/month or $79/year solo, or $19/month / $159/year for a household of up to five accounts. Checkout and card storage are handled by Stripe; Settings → Billing opens your Stripe portal to update the card, switch plans, or cancel. If you stop, your account goes read-only, never deleted.
Who's behind it?
One person who built it because nothing on the market covered the whole surface of a life. That's why it's honest about what it does and doesn't do, and why support replies come from someone who wrote the code.

Still deciding? Just look at it.

The 30 free days answer more than a FAQ can.

No card. No sales call. Cancel by closing the tab.
