Installation Guide

1. 1

   Download the installer

   Click Download App Installer (Windows) on your account page. The .exe installer file will download to your computer.

2. 2

   Locate the downloaded file (usually in your Downloads folder) and double-click it to begin the installation.

3. 3

   Windows Defender SmartScreen

   Windows may display a blue pop-up that says "Windows protected your PC." This appears because the app is newly released and does not yet have a large number of installs. You can do the following to continue past this screen and continue with the installation:

   

   1 Click "More info"

   

   2 Click "Run anyway"

   For more information about this prompt and how it works, see the official Microsoft documentation.

4. 4

   Follow the installer steps

   Click Next through each step of the installation wizard, then click Install when prompted.

   Once the installation is complete, make sure both "Run NewLifeMonitorWatcher.exe" and "Launch NewLifeMonitor" are checked, then click "Finish".

   "NewLifeMonitor" refers to the main app. "NewLifeMonitorWatcher.exe" is a separate component responsible for making sure the main app is running properly.

   Launch and sign in

   After clicking "Finish", if the app does not start automatically, search for "New Life" in the Windows Start menu and click it to launch. Sign in using your New Life account email and password.

   Once signed in, the app will automatically begin monitoring in the background. To confirm it is running, you should see the New Life icon in the Windows taskbar extensions (system tray). You can right-click it for more information.
