FAQ
Questions, answered
What is Life's Ripples?+
A life-change mapping platform. You describe a significant change and it helps you see the areas of life it may affect, how they connect, and what needs deciding or doing.
What is a Ripple Map?+
A visual map with your change at the centre and the areas it may affect spreading outward — each of which can be expanded further.
What is a Life Change?+
Any significant change you're going through or planning: moving, a new job, a new baby, retirement and so on.
How does the AI work?+
AI helps suggest possible ripples and ask clarifying questions. Every ripple explains why it appeared, and you confirm or dismiss it.
What are Ripple Credits?+
Your plan's monthly allowance for new or intensive Ripple intelligence, such as generating a new map. Viewing, navigating and updating statuses never use credits.
Do I need a subscription?+
No. A Free plan is planned, with paid plans for more active changes and features.
Can I use Life's Ripples for my family?+
Yes — household planning is planned for the Family and Life+ plans, with private and shared ripples.
Can I create a change that is not listed?+
Yes. Just describe what is changing in your own words.
Does Life's Ripples make decisions for me?+
No. It helps you understand and organise change. You decide.
Does it automatically change accounts or submit forms?+
No. It never acts on your accounts or submits anything on your behalf.
Can I use it for government or legal matters?+
It can help you see what may be involved, but it offers general guidance only. Always verify requirements with the responsible authority.

Your life map belongs to you. Sharing is deliberate, optional information stays optional, and you can delete your data at any time.
