Frequently (and Infrequently) Asked Questions
A simple way to begin is to add a few things you’d like help keeping track of—nothing more than that. From there, you can choose to turn on gentle reminders so the app can surface items as they come up. When you take care of something, you can mark it as done and let the app keep track of what’s next. The goal is simple: to give you a place where things feel organized—and a little more at ease.
You can start small.
Pick one area of your life —home, health, or something else—and add a few items you’d like to keep track of. From there, Well-Managed will keep things up to date, let you know when something is coming up, and make it easy to record when it’s been taken care of. You can always add more over time, at your own pace.
Well-Managed is designed to support a range of everyday things—whether they happen once, repeat over time, or are part of your daily rhythm.
You might use it for:
- One-time tasks: Things you want to take care of and not forget—like sending a note, making an appointment, or fixing something around the house
- Recurring tasks: Responsibilities that come up regularly—like home or car upkeep, renewals, or routine check-ins
- Daily habits: Small things you’d like to do more consistently—like exercising, meditating, or practicing a skill
There’s no “right” amount to track—just what feels useful to you.
App Functioning and Features
Well-Managed sends notifications to help you keep track of when an upcoming item is due. You can specify on an item-by-item basis how much advance notice you want. You might want more notice for something official (e.g., a driver’s license) or that requires scheduling with others and less notice for something you can do yourself in a few minutes (e.g., water plants).
Well-Managed also needs your permission to include an app icon badge. This is the little red circle with a number in it in the top right-hand corner of the app icon. The number represents the number of items ready for current service or maintenance, and can help keep these items on your radar.
You can accept or decline to receive notifications and/or see the app icon badge, and you can always change this in your device Settings.
Yes, the app automatically performs data syncing for a given Apple ID. You just need to install the app on both devices, make sure both devices are using the same Apple ID and connected to the internet, and have iCloud Drive enabled.
To enable iCloud Drive, go to your device settings, tap on your name at the top, select iCloud, and turn iCloud Drive on, if it is not already enabled. You will need to do this on all devices you wish to use for data syncing.
In either the “Manage Soon” or “All Items” views, locate the item you want to delete and swipe left. A red button with a trash can will appear. Click that button, and a dialogue box will appear asking you to confirm the deletion. You can proceed with the deletion or cancel, if the swipe was an error.
Alternatively, you can click on an item/task in the “Manage Soon” or “All Items” views, go to the screen with the details for that item, and click on the red “Delete” button on the bottom of the screen.

Go to the “Settings” tab and click on your subscription status (if you’re currently subscribed, it will be “Active”).

The subscription will NOT renew at the end of the current subscription period. The subscription plan view will indicate that you cancelled your subscription and provide the date on which your current, paid subscription ends.
Note that you will continue to have full use of the app until the subscription period ends.
It takes time and expertise to develop and maintain a high-quality app. I don’t incorporate advertising, capture and sell your data, or engage in other indirect ways of making money from the product. Instead, I keep it simple – I’ve created a great product that I hope provides greater value than the cost, so you feel it’s well worth the price.
