Frequently Asked Questions
What is Vigil Today?
Vigil Today is a personal reminder and inventory tracking web app. It helps you manage recurring reminders, track consumable inventory, plan restock timing, and stay on top of replacement cycles for everyday household items.
Is Vigil Today a task manager like other apps?
No. Vigil Today is not a full task manager, team workspace, project management tool, or collaboration app. It focuses on personal reminders, inventory-aware reminders, restock timing, and replacement-cycle tracking.
Is Vigil Today free?
The web app is intended to be free for personal use. Optional paid features — such as the AI Connector — may be offered separately.
Are there ads?
No. Vigil Today does not show ads.
Does Vigil Today track me for advertising?
No. Vigil Today does not engage in behavioral advertising and does not sell your data to third parties.
How does Vigil Today make money?
Vigil Today may use affiliate links for product reorder buttons. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Vigil Today may also offer optional paid features such as the AI Connector.
Do affiliate links change the price I pay?
No. Affiliate links do not change the price you pay. You pay the same price whether you use an affiliate link or navigate to the product yourself.
Do I have to use affiliate links?
No. You can ignore product links entirely, search for the product manually, or buy from any store of your choice.
Can I save my own Amazon links?
Yes. You can save your own product links to inventory items. When your stock is low or you are approaching a replacement date, a Buy again button may appear on the item detail page.
Does Vigil Today sell products?
No. Vigil Today does not sell, ship, process, or provide customer support for products. Any purchases you make through product links are handled entirely by the retailer — such as Amazon — under their own terms.
Is Vigil Today medical software?
No. Vigil Today is not a medical device and has not been approved or certified for medical use. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, dosage guidance, medication safety information, drug interaction checking, prescription management, emergency alerts, clinical monitoring, or healthcare oversight of any kind.
Can I use Vigil Today to track supplements?
You may choose to use Vigil Today for personal supplement routines, but it is not medical software. Do not rely on it for medical treatment, medication safety, dosage management, or any critical health purpose. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for health-related decisions.
Can I use Vigil Today for medication?
Vigil Today is not intended for medication management. Do not rely on it for medication reminders, treatment plans, dosage tracking, emergency medication, or any healthcare purpose. Consult a qualified healthcare professional.
Can I use Vigil Today for critical reminders?
No. Do not rely on Vigil Today for emergency situations, medical care, legal deadlines, financial obligations, safety compliance, life-critical tasks, or any situation where a missed notification could cause harm. Notifications may fail to deliver.
Why might notifications fail?
Push notification delivery depends on many factors outside Vigil Today's control, including:
- Browser support for push notifications
- Whether you have granted notification permission
- Your device's notification settings
- Battery saver or focus modes
- Internet connectivity
- Your operating system's notification management
- Service worker and browser state
- Whether the app has been opened recently
Vigil Today cannot guarantee notification delivery.
What is inventory tracking?
Inventory tracking lets you keep a running count of items you use regularly. For example: start with 60 pills, subtract 1 each day when you mark the reminder complete, and get a low-stock alert when you're running low.
What is replacement-cycle tracking?
Some items are replaced after a set period rather than depleted one by one. Replacement-cycle tracking handles this. For example: 3 water filters, 1 installed at a time, replaced every 6 months — Vigil Today reminds you before the next replacement if your inventory is empty.
What is the AI Connector?
The AI Connector is an optional feature that lets supported AI assistants interact with your Vigil Today data. You can ask things like what to reorder, what reminders are due, add a purchase, mark something complete, or register a new product. The AI Connector may require a paid plan.
Does the AI Connector share my data?
The AI Connector only shares data if you choose to enable it and connect an AI provider. Only connect AI providers you trust. Third-party AI providers process your data under their own terms and privacy policies.
Can I use Vigil Today without the AI Connector?
Yes. The AI Connector is entirely optional. The full web app works without it.
Can I export or delete my data?
You can delete items inside the app where that option is available. For full account deletion or data export requests, contact us at [email protected].
Is Vigil Today for teams or families?
No. Vigil Today is designed for personal use by a single user. It is not intended for teams, groups, family sharing, shared accounts, employee management, or collaboration.
Does Vigil Today work offline?
Vigil Today is a Progressive Web App (PWA) and may support some offline or cached behavior. However, features like sign-in, data syncing, and push notifications require an internet connection. Do not rely on offline functionality for critical purposes.
