Plan at your desk. Tick off on the go.
Connect your own Dropbox, then plan the week on your computer on Sunday and tick off today on your phone on Monday.
Your plan is where you are, not where your laptop is.



From your values to today's plan.
You break each goal into milestones, a focus for the month, a focus for the week and tasks for today. The Plan status light turns yellow when a goal gets no work for 2 weeks. It names the goal.
It feels incredibly well researched and thoughtfully built, but it has never once made me feel like I'm failing at it.
I've started a morning walk that has really affected many parts of my life, downstream throughout the day but also in the evening when thinking about my next day.
The lazy day feature of the habit tracker actually made me more consistent than I realized.
You pick one big goal for the years ahead. The app walks it down with you: this year, this quarter, this week. On a busy Tuesday, you still see the three things that move it.
No more busy days that lead nowhere. You know what counts, and you can drop what does not.


Type one big goal. Then answer one short question per level, from next year down to today.
Take a suggestion or type your own words. In the app, every task you add shows the goal it serves.

Every January I set goals I believed in. By March I could not have told you what they were. The intention was real. The connection between it and my actual week was not.
So I started asking a simpler question: what would it take for the values I care about to reach the thing I do today? This app is the answer I wish I had. It is one person's work, made for people who want their goals connected to their weeks.

You play a hand of value cards, keep five and rank them. Five minutes later you know what you would never trade away, and every goal gets checked against it.
Goals people choose for their own reasons get more lasting effort and bring more well-being when they are reached.

The Friction Map asks what could stop each goal and whether it is in your control. You turn each obstacle into an if-then plan, then check it every month.
A plan that expects the hard week survives it.


Every habit has a lazy day version: the smallest form of it, set in advance. On a hard day you do that, and your streak stays alive.
"The lazy day feature of the habit tracker actually made me more consistent than I realized."
Sunday, after a long week. What do you do today?
Missed days and reviews fade instead of piling up. A Welcome back card shows one next step.


Two minutes at night. Ten minutes on Sunday. A short check-in each month and quarter. Each review starts from what you planned, so you see what changed.
The week reflection shows a line for each goal that got no work for 2 weeks in a row.
Structured reviews after a task improved later performance across dozens of studies. The app uses this idea. The studies tested something close to it, not the app.

Connect your own Dropbox, then plan the week on your computer on Sunday and tick off today on your phone on Monday.
Your plan is where you are, not where your laptop is.



Insights turns your entries into your own numbers: habit consistency, week score, days closed in a row.
Studies show that tracking progress helps people reach their goals: 138 experiments with 19,951 people.
The studies tested the method, not this app.


Pick the weekdays you work on your goals and the days for each habit.
Days you do not plan never count against you.


Pick a ready-made example for your life area and choose how big to start, or write your own.
Start today instead of designing a habit from nothing.


Give each milestone a prep time. A reminder card in the app shows when to start, not only when it is due.
Deadlines stop sneaking up on you.


Closed milestones, finished months and habit streaks of 7, 30, 100 and 365 days, all on one wall.
A finished milestone deserves more than a tick in a box.


The Plan status light turns yellow when a goal gets no work for 2 weeks.
A tap on the light shows your next steps.

Essentials Mode keeps your inputs to the minimum. Full Mode gives you the whole goal setting system to set up your way.
"Thank you for implementing the custom year feature, which lets me align my goals and plans with my work year and seasonal needs."

Pick the app if you want your values, goals, plans and habits connected, for one payment. If you only want to tick off habits, a habit tracker is quicker.
