How can we help?

ARDA is an AI life planning app for iPhone. It helps you understand where you stand across 11 life areas, talk through decisions with an AI that knows your context, and turn goals into tasks and plans you can follow.

ARDA is currently in TestFlight. We are targeting September 2026 for the iPhone App Store launch. Join the early-access list to receive the release link; this is a waitlist, not an App Store preorder.

The initial release is designed for iPhone, in English, and primarily for adults in the United States. Final iOS compatibility will be listed on the App Store product page.

You will be able to begin the Life Audit before creating a permanent account. Creating an account is required to save the confirmed audit and use ARDA as an ongoing record. An abandoned anonymous audit is designed to expire after seven days, and you can discard it sooner.

The Life Audit is a guided conversation that creates your baseline Life Profile. Quick response options and tailored follow-up questions help you describe your circumstances across the life areas you choose. You can review your answers and explore what contributes to your overall Life Rating and domain assessments.

Yes. You can save your progress and return to the Life Audit. You can also correct answers and choose which life areas to include. An abandoned anonymous audit expires after seven days, so create an account when you are ready to keep your confirmed profile.

No. ARDA should collect only information that can materially improve the picture. Sensitive questions include a way to decline. Missing information can reduce confidence or make a domain unassessable, but it should not be silently treated as negative evidence.

No. Ratings describe current evidence within a particular domain. They do not measure your worth, morality, intelligence, future, or potential.

Yes. The launch design lets you review the evidence and explanation, correct a fact, add missing information, or question the method. A rating changes when corrected or new accepted evidence justifies the change, not merely because ARDA wants to defend itself or please you.

Report meaningful changes as they happen and revisit your profile when your circumstances change. Overview keeps today's tasks, upcoming commitments, and focus areas together. There is no streak punishment for missing a day.

Chat uses your saved Life Profile, relevant previous conversations, and planning context to discuss decisions and next steps. It retrieves context relevant to the current request, not every word of every past conversation. You can correct information that is wrong or out of date.

Yes. Ask ARDA to create a task or update an existing planning item as you talk. Review the resulting task and adjust it in Plan when needed.

Keep goals, projects, individual tasks, and recurring commitments together. Connect steps to projects and goals, add dates and prerequisites, and use Today, Upcoming, Projects, or All to find what needs attention. Recurring tasks support daily, weekly, and monthly schedules.

Overview shows your Life Rating history, today's tasks, upcoming commitments, and focus areas. Explore domain ratings and recorded measurements in the app. Open History through Profile to revisit updates, conversations, and planning activity.

Yes. ARDA follows your iPhone's appearance by default. You can also choose light or dark mode manually in Settings.

If you choose to connect Apple Health, ARDA can display height, weight, steps, exercise, workouts, and sleep from the categories you permit. The connection is optional and read-only. Imported Health records stay on your iPhone, not on ARDA's servers or in AI conversations, and do not automatically change your Life Ratings.

Yes. Use ARDA's Health connection controls to stop importing and separately remove local copies. You can also manage ARDA's permissions in Apple Health. Removing ARDA's copies does not delete the original records in Apple Health.

Yes. Copy ARDA's handover prompt into your existing assistant, then paste its response into ARDA. This is not a direct connection to that account. The text you submit is processed by ARDA and its AI provider to prepare an import review. Review and edit the suggested items, then choose what to keep in your Life Profile or Plan.

ARDA may process Life Audit answers, submitted context imports, goals, conversations, accepted evidence, ratings, plans, account details, and operational information. Some may concern sensitive circumstances. Imported Apple Health records stay on your iPhone. Health information you separately type or paste into an audit, import, or conversation is submitted app content and may be processed by ARDA and its AI provider. The Privacy Policy has the details.

For a feature that needs AI, ARDA is designed to send only the context relevant to that specific task. It does not send your email address, authentication secret, or full account by default. Eligible API requests use store: false, and ARDA does not opt app content into model training. Limited abuse-monitoring logs may remain with OpenAI for up to 30 days under standard provider controls.

Do not submit new information to AI-powered features and contact support for assistance with an AI-processing request. Permanently deleting your account also stops future processing for that account. A request already sent to a provider cannot be recalled.

You can delete an individual conversation from its History detail. Request an export or more limited deletion by emailing contact@ardaapp.com from the address associated with your account when possible. Full account deletion is available directly in Settings.

Open Settings, choose Delete Account, review what will be removed, and confirm. ARDA then permanently deletes the authentication account and associated Life Profile data. Email support remains available for privacy questions.

Pricing and any trial terms have not been announced. If ARDA offers a subscription, the App Store purchase screen will show the full renewal price, billing period, included features, and trial terms before you subscribe.

An Apple-billed subscription is managed through your Apple account subscriptions. Deleting the app or your ARDA account may not automatically cancel Apple billing. If subscriptions are offered, ARDA will provide a direct path to Apple’s subscription-management screen.

Yes, if subscriptions are offered. The launch purchase experience must include a way for an existing subscriber to restore purchases or sign in to the account associated with the entitlement.

Apple generally handles refunds for purchases it bills. If subscriptions are offered, ARDA support will point you to the applicable Apple process and help investigate an ARDA account or entitlement problem.

Include the app version, iOS version, iPhone model, a short description of what you expected, and what happened instead. Do not email passwords, authentication codes, full financial details, health records, or unnecessary Life Audit content.

Confirm that you are using the same Sign in with Apple identity or email address connected to the account. If an email code does not arrive, check filtered folders and wait before requesting another code. Contact support if the problem continues.

Use the in-app evidence and correction controls when available. A technical bug, an incorrect stored fact, and a disagreement with ARDA’s method are handled differently, so include which one you believe occurred when contacting support.

No. ARDA helps you understand, plan, and reflect, but it is not a therapist, doctor, crisis line, financial adviser, lawyer, fiduciary, or unquestionable authority. It is designed around a repeatable whole-life process rather than licensed professional services.

No. Do not wait for ARDA or rely on it for an emergency. In the United States, call 911 for immediate danger. If you are experiencing a mental-health or suicide crisis, call or text 988. Outside the United States, contact the appropriate local emergency or crisis service.

No. A safety signal is not automatically negative rating evidence and is not used for subscription pressure. ARDA’s intended safety flow displays reviewed resources separately from ordinary ratings and planning.
