FAQ
How can we help you?
Short answers to the questions we get asked most: getting started, organizing your tasks and habits, sharing a list, importing your data or managing your subscription.
Getting started
- Is Lumina free?Yes: the free version has no ads and no time limit, with 3 habits, 10 tasks per day, Google Calendar and sync.
- Is Lumina available on iPhone, iPad and PC?Yes, as a web app: open lumina-app.me/app and install it from your browser. No App Store app; on Android, Lumina is on Google Play.
- Can I use Lumina without an account and offline?Yes. Habits, tasks and notes work without an account and without a network. Google sign-in is for sync, Google Calendar and groups.
- How do I sync Lumina across several devices?Sign in with the same Google account on each device: habits, tasks and notes sync for free, on their own.
Tasks
- How do I create a task with subtasks?Tap +, give it a title, then add subtasks, a time, a priority or a note. Subtasks are unlimited, even for free.
- How does quick add for tasks work?Type “tomorrow 6pm call grandma !!”: Lumina reads the date, time and priority from the title. Tap a detected chip to ignore it.
- How do I create a recurring task?In the task sheet, pick a repeat: every day, some days, every N days, weeks, months or years, the 2nd Monday of the month…
- What happens to unfinished tasks?A dated task left undone is carried over every day until you check it off, marked “Overdue”. A task with no date is never overdue.
- How do I use the Pomodoro timer?Open Focus from the menu or from a task: 25 min of focus, 5 min break, 15 min after 4 cycles. The durations can’t be changed.
Habits
- How do I create a habit in Lumina?Tap +, give it a name, an icon, a frequency (every day, some days, every X days, X times a week) and a daily goal.
- How do streaks work?The streak counts planned days completed in a row (in weeks for X times a week). With Pro, 2 freezes a month protect a missed day.
- How do I set habit reminders?Add one or more reminders to each habit. Tasks with a time get their own reminder too, and an evening recap lists what’s left.
- How do I add Lumina widgets on Android?Long-press the home screen, “Widgets”, then Lumina. Three widgets: Habits, Tasks and Today. They don’t exist on iPhone.
- Where can I see my statistics and progress?Your day and your profile show streaks, perfect days and level. The Statistics screen (success rate over 30, 90 or 365 days) needs Pro.
Notes and customization
- How do I link notes together?Open a note, then “Search a note to link…” or “Attach a task or a habit…”. The graph shows every link at a glance.
- How do I change my theme and companion?Settings › Theme: 9 themes in 3 styles, light and dark modes, backgrounds and companions. The basic kit of each theme is free.
Calendar
- How do I connect Google Calendar to Lumina?Sign in with Google, allow access to your calendar, then open the Calendar tab. Free for your main calendar, Pro for the others.
- Which calendar views does Lumina have?Seven views: Day, 3 days, 4 days, Week, Month, Year and Schedule. Your dated tasks show up next to your Google events.
Groups
- How do I share a to-do list with a group?Create a group in the Groups tab, invite by email, link or QR code, then add tasks. Everyone checks off what they did. Google sign-in required.
- What are the roles in a Lumina group?Four roles: Creator, Admin, Editor and Member. Editors manage tasks and see who finished; members check off their own.
- How many members can a group have?Up to 300 members per group, pending invitations included. For free, you create 1 group and join as many as you want.
Import and export
- How do I import my tasks from Todoist, Google Tasks, TickTick or Notion?Settings › “Import from Todoist, TickTick, Notion, Google Tasks or Google Keep”, then choose a Todoist project’s CSV export, the Tasks.json from Google Takeout, a TickTick backup or the files of a Notion export.
- How do I import my Google Keep notes?Export Keep with Google Takeout, unzip, then select all the .json files of the Keep folder in Lumina. Notes and lists come across.
- How do I export my Lumina data?Settings › “Export my data” creates a JSON file. “Import data” loads it back on another device, as a copy, without erasing anything.
