Explore demo mode

See how My Life Practice works with realistic sample data, before you connect a calendar or type anything of your own.

What demo mode is

Demo mode fills the app with a complete set of sample data: meetings, people, diary entries, plans and client work. Everything functions. Your Personal Assistant writes real briefings against the sample data, so you see the app working rather than a set of empty screens.

Tap Explore Demo Mode on the last setup screen. You can also turn it on and off later in Settings.

The Today view in demo mode, showing the orange Demo marker, a Personal Assistant briefing card, and what is due today.
Demo Mode, with the orange marker in the corner. It is on every screen, so you always know which data you are looking at.

The app restarts, and that is expected

Switching demo mode on or off restarts My Life Practice. That is by design, not a fault.

The app decides which set of data to open once, at launch. That single decision is what keeps sample data and your own data completely separate: they live in different databases and never mix. Restarting is what buys you that guarantee.

Two things appear on the first launch

1

A request to send you notifications

My Life Practice asks permission to send nudges: meeting prep, leave now reminders, and prompts to capture what happened once a meeting ends. Decline it if you would rather not decide yet. Notifications can be turned on later in Settings.

The iOS permission prompt asking whether My Life Practice may send you notifications, with Allow and Don't Allow.

Declining here changes nothing else. Notifications can be turned on later in Settings.

A short guided tour

Five screens explaining the Today view. Tap Skip to dismiss it. To see it again at any point, open Settings and choose Guided tour under Help.

The guided tour overlaying the Today view, explaining a screen area with Skip and Next controls.

Five screens, and Skip is always available. Settings, then Guided tour under Help, brings it back.

Knowing which mode you are in

An orange Demo marker sits at the top of the Today view for as long as demo mode is on. If you cannot see it, you are looking at your own data.

Leaving demo mode

Open Settings, turn Demo Mode off, and let the app restart.

Nothing you did in demo mode carries over, and nothing of yours was touched while you were in it.
