Overview

!! Be sure to read Get­ting Started. It pro­vides some very impor­tant infor­ma­tion that will greatly enhance your expe­ri­ence with Life­Topix.

Life­Topix is a com­plete life orga­ni­za­tion app

Life­Topix™ is a com­plete pro­duc­tiv­ity app for per­sonal orga­ni­za­tion. Man­age your cal­en­dar, tasks/to-dos, projects, notes, files, shop­ping, finances, house­hold ser­vices, peo­ple, assets, events, travel, edu­ca­tion, health and much more — with a 9-view dash­board, cus­tomiz­able cat­e­gories and con­text tags. It works seam­lessly with pop­u­lar online pro­duc­tiv­ity tools such as Drop­box, Ever­note, Too­dledo, Asana and others.

Unlike other apps that allow you to accom­plish one spe­cific thing, Life­Topix is an all-in-one per­sonal orga­nizer. You can cap­ture, track, con­nect, know and act upon all the infor­ma­tion in your life — EVERYTHING — and get things done more eas­ily, all in one place, instead of jump­ing between mul­ti­ple apps with dis­con­nected data and zero reuse. It helps you get orga­nized across sev­eral top­ics that are con­nected naturally.

Touch­points

Touch­points link top­ics, and they are the keys to the power of Life­Topix. A touch­point allows you to define infor­ma­tion within one topic and then lever­age that infor­ma­tion in other top­ics. This gives you the abil­ity to relate infor­ma­tion in the man­ner that is most nat­ural for you. For exam­ple, if you are in Travel + Places defin­ing a trip you plan to take, the tasks you spec­ify for that trip are auto­mat­i­cally acces­si­ble via Tasks + Projects. Or, if you define a new ser­vice provider in Events for an party you are host­ing, that provider is also acces­si­ble from Peo­ple + Ser­vices. Touch­points pro­vide a log­i­cal way to think about infor­ma­tion, and they enable you to avoid dupli­ca­tion of data by elim­i­nat­ing the need to re-enter infor­ma­tion in mul­ti­ple places.

    I am con­stantly fear­ful of los­ing my infor­ma­tion and it gives me a lot of piece of mind to be able to export a copy of my stuff. Is there any way to export a com­plete copy of my infor­ma­tion that I could open on a dif­fer­ent pro­gram? like excel or word?
    Also, is there a way to export just a print­able copy of my calendar?

      Hi Gina,
      We rec­om­mend that you do reg­u­lar back­ups of Life­Topix data from Life­Topix Set­tings using an online Drop­box folder. In the Set­tings view, we also sup­port backup of the Life­Topix data­base to Email.
      Life­Topix also sup­ports CSV export of some types of data, but that fea­ture is avail­able for all the data types. More on that at: http://lightarrow.com/lifetopix/lifetopix-5–0-help/common-features
      We hope this helps.
      Best regards,
      Team LightArrow
