Frequently asked questions

What is a life planner?

A life planner is a system for your whole life, not just today's tasks. It starts with the areas your life is made of, like health, career, money, and relationships, and what you want from each, then connects the goals, habits, and tasks that move them. Heym is built in that order: name your areas, write a short vision for each, then plan inside them, so every task traces back to a focus area of your life.

What are life areas in Heym?

Life areas are the parts of your life you plan around, such as Health, Career, Money, Family, or Learning. Heym starts with a default life area framework that is grounded in research, but you can choose to customize it to your needs. Each area has its own page with a written vision, a cover image, and the goals, habits, tasks, and notes that belong to it.

How do I set up a life plan from scratch?

Start with your areas: keep the suggested ones that fit, cut the rest, and write one or more paragraphs on what the ideal life looks like for each. Then add a goal or two per area, plus the habits and tasks that build them. A first working plan takes a few minutes, and nothing is locked in, so you can reshape it as your life changes.

Can I use my own framework, like the Wheel of Life or PERMA?

Yes. Heym's areas are fully editable, so you can shape them into whatever framework you already use, whether that's the Wheel of Life's domains, the PERMA model, or categories of your own. Rename them, set each one's color and icon, and order them the way you think about your life.

How is a life planner different from a to-do list or notes app?

A to-do list collects actions and a notes app collects writing, but neither shows why any of it matters. A life planner adds the layer above the day: every task belongs to a goal, every goal to an area of your life, and every area carries a vision you wrote. So you can always see which part of your life the thing in front of you is moving.

Is Heym free?

Yes. Heym is free to start, no credit card required. The free plan has limits on how much you can create; for unlimited life areas, goals, habits, and notes, upgrade to Pro (€5 per month, or €2.50 per month billed yearly, with a 7-day trial), or get the one-time Lifetime plan (€119). Full details are on the pricing page.
