About Little Brit

What is Little Brit?

Little Brit is a task and routine companion app designed to make everyday tasks feel more approachable — including for people who experience ADHD-related challenges with motivation or task initiation. You pick tasks, complete them at your own pace, and earn points you can use to unlock companions, items, and scenes to build out your own little world.

Is Little Brit free?

Yes — the core app is free to use. An optional subscription, Little Brit+, unlocks additional companions, items, scenes, and customization content, but you don't need it to use the main features of the app.

How do points work?

You earn points by completing tasks. Every new user starts out with 50 points. Points can be spent in the shop on companions, items, and scenes to decorate and personalize your experience.

What is Little Brit+?

Little Brit+ is an optional paid subscription that unlocks extra companions, items, scenes, and customization options beyond what's available for free. It's billed and managed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and you can cancel any time through your Apple ID or Google Play account settings. Plans, prices and any free trial are shown in the app and in your store before you subscribe.

Is Little Brit right for kids?

Little Brit is intended for people age 13 and older. The age rating shown in the App Store or Google Play is set by the store and doesn't change that. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you're a parent or guardian with questions or concerns, reach out to support@littlebrit.app.

Is Little Brit a substitute for therapy or medical advice?

No. Little Brit is a task and routine companion app, not a medical device, diagnostic tool, or substitute for professional medical, psychological, or psychiatric advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of a qualified health provider with any questions about a medical or mental health condition.

Your data and privacy

What information does Little Brit collect?

Most of what Little Brit tracks — your completed tasks, points, companions, items, scenes, and settings — is stored directly on your device, not on our servers. The app doesn't ask for your name or email address. If you subscribe to Little Brit+, our subscription provider keeps an anonymous ID and your purchase history so the app can unlock the right content. If you contact support or sign up for updates on our website, we collect your email address and the content of your message. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

Does Little Brit sell my data?

No. We do not sell, rent, license, or lease your personal information to third parties, and we don't run advertising in the app.

Backing up and restoring progress

Will I lose my progress if I reinstall Little Brit?

Yes, by default. Little Brit stores your points, companions, items, scenes, and settings directly on your device — not in the cloud. If you delete the app and reinstall it, that local data is wiped and you'll start over.

Normal app updates (through the App Store or Google Play) do not cause this — only actually deleting the app, or manually clearing its storage in your phone's settings, wipes your data.

How do I protect my progress before uninstalling or switching phones?

Use the built-in backup:

  1. Open Little Brit and go to the How It's Going page.
  2. Tap "Back up or restore your progress" at the bottom.
  3. Tap "Generate my backup code."
  4. Tap Copy or Share and save the code somewhere you'll find it again (a note, or a text or email to yourself).
  5. Do this before you uninstall the app or reset your device.
How do I restore my progress after reinstalling?
  1. Reinstall Little Brit and get through the initial setup.
  2. Go to How It's Going, then "Back up or restore your progress."
  3. Paste your backup code into the box (or tap "Paste from clipboard").
  4. Tap Restore.

If the device already has progress on it, Little Brit will show you a two-step warning before restoring, since importing will replace what's currently on that device with the imported data. You can back out at either step and your current progress stays untouched. If the device has no existing progress (a fresh install), it restores right away with no warning needed.

What if I forgot to back up before I uninstalled?

Unfortunately, if you didn't back up first, that progress can't be recovered. We don't have a copy of your local data on our end — it only ever lived on your device. Going forward, we'd recommend backing up periodically, especially before switching phones or doing a fresh reinstall.

Does backup happen automatically?

Right now, it's a manual step — you need to back up before you uninstall. The safest approach either way: back up your progress manually before making any changes that could remove the app.

Does reinstalling affect my Little Brit+ subscription?

No — subscription status is handled separately through your Apple ID or Google account, not through this export/import feature. Reinstalling the app won't affect an active subscription.

Account and support

Do I need an account to use Little Brit?

No. Little Brit has no accounts or sign-in.

How do I delete my data?

Little Brit has no accounts, so most of your data lives on your device and deleting the app removes it. To ask us to delete anything tied to your anonymous app ID or purchases, or your email address if you gave us one, email support@littlebrit.app and we'll process your request in line with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Cancel any time through your Apple ID (Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions) or Google Play account settings (Google Play app > Payments & subscriptions). Canceling stops future renewals but doesn't refund the current billing period.

Who do I contact if I need help?

Email us at support@littlebrit.app and we'll help walk you through it.
