Personal study works best with a set time and a few regular blocks. Pick what fits your week; you can change this any time under More.

Today
Every day: the daily text and your Bible reading. This week: what you scheduled for today — your personal study on its day, the workbook before the midweek meeting, the Watchtower before the weekend one. Anything planned for later in the week waits under Coming up; anything you missed stays on the list until its meeting. Family worship shows here on its day. Tap Start for a short guided session; the material itself stays on JW.org. Change blocks or meeting days under More.
Days kept · last 4 weeks
A day is marked when you finish any study block. It's a calendar to look back on, not a score to keep up — missed days are just days.
Put Lamplight on your home screen — that's what lets reminders reach your phone.

Journal
Only you. Your journal stays on this device. If you choose to bring a note to family worship, only the words you pick go to your family — the note itself stays here, and you can stop sharing any time.
People
The people you call back on and study with: their details, how you met, what you've talked about, and where the study is up to. This stays on your device and is never shared with anyone — not even your family.
Set a time before you leave — it shows on Today when the day comes.

Your account
Signing in keeps your plan, notes and people safe and brings them to any phone or computer you sign in on. Nothing here becomes visible to anyone else — your notes stay yours; sharing is still a separate, deliberate step. Lamplight never sees a password: Apple, Google or Microsoft vouch for you, or we email you a code.
Research on JW.org
A place to start, not a library. Type a word or pick a verse. Verses and lessons open in JW Library if you have it (phone, tablet, Windows or Mac), otherwise on JW.org; searches and tools open on JW.org.
One reminder before each planned thing. Pick a lead for each kind.

Study & prep
A second, separate reminder so nothing sneaks up on you.
Reminders are sent to this device for the days and times you set. Each kind gets one reminder at the lead you choose — from "at the time" up to two days before — and, if you like, a separate heads-up the day before (or the morning of) at a time you set. Only the title travels (e.g. "Prepare the Watchtower", "Maria in 30 minutes", "Tomorrow: Family worship at 7:00 PM"); your notes never leave this device. Once a reminder's block is done, it doesn't fire.
Your calendar
Your study days, meeting days, family worship and visits go into the calendar app you already use, and they update when you change them here. It works by a private link that only you have. Only titles and times travel — never your notes, never a surname. Turn it off any time and the link stops working.

About
Lamplight is a tool for family worship and personal study. It points you to JW.org and never stands in for it — the Bible, the publications and the videos stay where they are.
