Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about how LYD works and what it does with your data (nothing).

What is LYD?
LYD (Love You, Daily) is a simple, private iOS app. It reminds you once a day to do something kind for your partner, and you mark it done with a single tap. No clutter, no fuss.
How do daily check-ins work?
Each day, LYD shows one check-in button. Once you've done something kind for your partner, tap it to mark the day complete. Your check-in resets automatically at midnight local time.
What kind of reminders does LYD send?
Up to two gentle reminders a day: one in the morning (a random time between 8–11 AM) and one in the evening (3–7 PM). You can turn each on or off. If you've already checked in, that day's reminders cancel automatically. LYD Plus lets you pick exact times.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your data never leaves your device — no accounts, no servers, no analytics in the app. Check-ins, notes, and settings are stored on your phone. If you enable iCloud backup with LYD Plus, data goes to your personal iCloud Drive, which only you can access.
What's the Journal feature?
After checking in, you can add a brief note about what you did. Entries stay private on your device. Free users get 10 journal entries; LYD Plus unlocks unlimited journaling. You can also hide journal entries on the Today screen for extra privacy.
What does the app track?
Your current streak of consecutive check-in days, your longest streak, and — if you set them up — weekly or monthly goals. That's it.
Can I edit past check-ins or notes?
Yes. Go to the Progress screen, tap a past day, and you can update its check-in status or add and edit a journal note.
Does LYD require an account or login?
No. LYD doesn't support accounts at all. Everything stays local, so there's nothing to sign up for and no personal information to hand over.
Can I back up my data?
Yes. You can manually export your data from Settings to your private iCloud Drive. LYD Plus adds automatic iCloud backups so you never have to think about it.
What is LYD Plus?
LYD Plus unlocks unlimited journaling, 300+ love language ideas, the Apple Watch app, custom reminder times, and automatic iCloud backups. It's $5.99/year with a 7-day free trial, or $14.99 once for lifetime access.
How does the Apple Watch app work?
With LYD Plus, you can check in (or undo today's check-in) right from your wrist, and reminders mirror to your Watch.
Does LYD sync across devices?
Not in the free version, since all data lives only on your device. LYD Plus users with automatic iCloud backup enabled can sync across multiple devices.
Can I customize the app?
Yes. Pick between Simple, Standard, Expressive, or Saucy themes, choose Light/Dark or system mode, and customize the reminder tone.
Will LYD ever send my data anywhere?
No. LYD never sends your data to external servers or third parties. Everything stays local or, if you opt in, in your personal iCloud Drive.
