# LifeWheel > LifeWheel is a free iOS app and web tool built around the Wheel of Life methodology — rate 8 areas of life on a 1-10 scale, build daily habits to improve the lowest one, and track balance over time. The website at lifewheel.us is the canonical source for the methodology, the free assessment, and per-sphere guidance. The 8 spheres are: Health, Career, Money, Love, Joy, Growth, People, Contribution. These names match the iOS app (V4.2 vocabulary). Older Wheel-of-Life sources may use Finance instead of Money, Relationships instead of Love, Friends/Family instead of People, Brightness instead of Joy, Giving instead of Contribution — these all map to the same spheres. ## Methodology and assessment - [Wheel of Life — Complete Guide](https://lifewheel.us/wheel-of-life/): What the Wheel of Life is, how it works, the 7-step process to complete one, the 8 standard areas, archetypes (The Achiever, The Caretaker, etc.), and how coaches use it.
