Help and support

Open app.the5amwarrior.com in any browser. Read This First, then the Standard, then make the Commitment: your time and your person. Day 1 starts at your first hour. The iPhone and Android apps arrive on November 1, 2026.

No. The first seven days work without one, and the app works offline. Sign in only when you want to back up and sync between devices, or to buy.

The first 7 days are free. First Light is $6.99, and the series pass is $29.99 for every volume as it's released. Both are one-time purchases; there's no subscription. See pricing.

No. The paperback and the app are sold separately. The app is the digital edition, for readers who want it on their phone or don't want to write in a book.

Sign in on the new device with the same account you used when you bought it: the same email, phone number, Google or Apple account. Your purchase follows your sign-in on the web, iPhone and Android.

In the app, go to Book → Sync and backup. Sign in, choose a journal passphrase, and write down the recovery code it shows you. Everything you write is encrypted on your device with that passphrase before it is backed up.

Use your recovery code to set a new one. If you have lost both the passphrase and the recovery code, nobody can open your journal, including us. That is the cost of it being truly private. Your purchases and your place in the book are not affected.

When you tap Done or Failed, the app opens your own messaging app with the message addressed to your person. You send it. Nothing passes through us.

Purchases made through the App Store or Google Play are refunded by Apple or Google; request it from your purchase history there. For purchases made on the web, email jeff@the5amwarrior.com with the address you bought with.

To clear a device: Settings → Erase everything on this device. To delete your account and everything backed up with it, email jeff@the5amwarrior.com from the address or phone number you signed in with. Details are in the app privacy policy.
