What's new

Version 83 · 2 August 2026

Milestones now tell you when it is time to start preparing, a month that starts on a weekday is planned in the week it begins, the Goal Plan grew up, and renaming a life area no longer detaches its goals.

Under the hood

• Layout and readability were tidied throughout for a more consistent experience: clearer figures in statistics and dates, aligned cards, and controls that stay where you expect them on small screens.
• The quarter screen can add a milestone. Each goal card now has a door straight to the Year card, where milestones live.
• A half-built Summit sentence stays a draft. One still showing [year] or [verb] no longer counts as a finished goal or gets quoted elsewhere.
• Nothing you type is discarded. Small-goal entries save when you click away, and stray letters in an hours field no longer wipe the number.
• The printed month sheet now includes your priorities and small goals.
• Insights numbers agree with each other: the week rate matches the chart beside it, and a habit created today reads "-" rather than 0%.

Version 82 · 2 August 2026

The biggest additions: you can read all your past reflections again in the new Reflections tab, and a new Goal Plan button shows your annual goals from any planning screen. The statistics got more accurate, and the first run got simpler. The bigger changes below come with a short how-to each; the invisible fixes are one line at the end.

Under the hood

• Success Measures are now called Targets. Same thing, plainer name, across the app, the help pages and the printouts.
• Over a hundred labels and messages were rewritten in plainer language, so screens explain themselves without jargon.
• Numbers you can trust. Habit consistency counts only days that have happened, the week rate does not accuse you on Monday morning, "Recent learnings" are recent, and the two week-rate numbers in Insights use the same rule.
• A month planned entirely through its quarter lanes now counts as planned everywhere, and locks on the first press.
• Milestone references were upgraded to stable ids behind the scenes: committing, pulling into weeks, printing and deleting all stay consistent now, and old saves migrate on first load without you noticing.
• The energy chart no longer invents a middle value for evenings you never answered.
• The end-of-beta and backup notices appear now (they were skipped on every boot).
• Turning "Plan daily" off while looking at Today steps you up to the week instead of stranding you.
• "Re-read this quarter" lands on the quarter you asked for and stays there.
• A round of dead code left the app: it boots a touch faster and the file did not grow despite everything above.

Version 81 · 31 July 2026

Easier to read at a glance, and quieter when you want it. Version 80 gave the planning screens one order; this one makes what is on them quicker to take in, and lets you put away the parts you do not need.

• Cleaner, better organised screens. Headings, labels and your own words each look consistently like what they are, across the whole app rather than only the planning screens. You can find your place on a screen without reading it from the top, and the same kind of thing looks the same wherever you meet it.
• Your annual goals are numbered. Goal 1, Goal 2, Goal 3, each with its life area beside it, so three goals on one screen are easy to tell apart at a glance and easy to refer to.
• The screen stops shifting under you. Clicking between day, week, month, quarter and year used to move the heading down the page. It now stays put whichever timeframe you are in, so switching no longer costs you a moment of finding your bearings again.
• You can put the small friendly lines away. The greeting, your purpose quote, the daily anchor and the weekly line from your Strengths Profile each carry a small cross. Hide the ones you do not want; Settings under Cadence lists what you hid and brings it all back with one button. Your choice is remembered, so nothing you dismissed comes back on the next visit.
• Buttons go where they say. When a plan told you the level above was missing and offered to take you there, the button could land you on a different screen than the one it named. Six buttons across the planning screens were affected, including "Plan this Week from these" and the ones that open a month from the quarter. They all go to the level on the label now.
• What you cannot hide, on purpose. Overdue milestones and break notices have no cross. Those report the real state of your plan rather than offering a thought, and a plan that can be told to stop mentioning a missed deadline is how deadlines get missed twice.

Version 80 · 31 July 2026

Less sitting above the work, and a daily anchor that asks for something concrete.

• Every planning screen opens the same way. Where you are, what you are doing here, anything that needs your attention, what it feeds, then the work. The day screen went from eleven things above the first input to six, so you reach the actual planning sooner, and the five screens stop each having their own arrangement to learn.
• Only real alerts look like alerts. An overdue milestone stands out and carries an Open milestone button that takes you straight to it. The gentler lines look gentle. Previously a missed deadline and a pleasant sentence were the same blue box, and only a small icon told them apart.
• The quarter and the year have a calendar strip again. A quarter shows its three months and a year shows its four quarters, each with what is planned, what is due and what is overdue, and one click jumps straight in. A Show days control switches to the day view whenever you want it. These two screens used to show nothing at all, because a strip of single days is no use across ninety of them.
• Your daily anchor asks for something. It names one of your top five values and suggests a way to bring it into what you planned that day, drawing on twenty rotating prompts rather than one fixed line. The evening reflection closes the loop with a single tick. After a few months that shows you which of your values you are living and which keep getting squeezed. It can be switched off in Settings under Cadence.
• New setting: header density. Choose how much sits above the work on a planning screen. Compact states the connection in one line and keeps your goals behind a toggle; Full shows them straight away. Left alone it follows whichever view you are in.

Version 79 · 30 July 2026

No more checkpoints you never set telling you that you are behind, and each plan now shows the level directly above it.

• Checkpoints now fit the time you really have. When a Summit Goal drafted an annual goal for you, it used to add checkpoints on two fixed dates regardless of when you arrived, so starting in July handed you one that was already a month overdue on your first day. They now land on quarter ends and are only added when at least two months of the year are still ahead. Starting in January gives you three, June gives one, September gives none, and the Milestones tab explains why rather than leaving you guessing.
• If you already had one of those, it has been cleared for you. Anything you renamed, re-dated, graded, or added a measure or note to counts as yours and is left exactly as it is.
• You decide whether anything is drafted at all. A switch called Draft annual goals from my Summit Goals spells out exactly what it writes and what it deliberately does not. It sits on the Where this leads tab of the Summit Goals step and again in Settings under Cadence. Turning it off starts every annual goal from a blank page and never removes what has already been drafted.
• Drafts look like drafts. Wording carried over from your Summit Goal, and every checkpoint the app wrote, shows in muted grey until you make it your own, with a short note saying how many are still drafts. You always know which words on the screen are yours.
• Each plan shows the level directly above it. Planning a week shows your monthly goals, planning a month shows your quarterly focus, planning a day shows your weekly priorities. Every one of these screens already asked about the level above but showed annual goals underneath, which made the connection hard to trust.
• An empty level says so and offers the fix. When the level above has nothing in it, the box names the gap, offers a one-tap link to plan that level first, and labels whatever it shows meanwhile, so a higher level is never mistaken for the missing one. It stays a recommendation: you can still plan a week directly whenever you want.
• Overdue milestones can always be acted on. A milestone the app calls overdue always has its editable card in the same view, so being told to mark its outcome is never a dead end. Overdue notices also stop counting up after two months, and the year-end Loose ends card remains the place to settle older ones.

Version 78 · 19 July 2026

Every step now guides you with clear tabs, planning a quarter starts with a named theme, planning and reviewing sit apart, and the year closes the loop into the next one.

• Numbered tabs on every discovery and planning step. Values, Strengths, Purpose, Life Areas, Vision, and Goals each open as a short row of numbered tabs at the top, so a long step is broken into clear stages you move through in order.
• A "Where this leads" tab on each of those steps. The last tab shows, in your own words and picks, how that step feeds the later ones. Every row carries a status tag (Done, Up next, or Comes later) and a jump link, so you can see what your choices have already set in motion.
• A clear headline on every tab. Each tab opens with a headline set in the app's own serif voice, followed by one line on what to do there and why it matters, so you are never guessing what a screen is for.
• Planning and reviewing now sit on separate tabs. In Execute, each cadence splits in two (the Quarter into three): Year into Annual goals and Annual wrap-up; Quarter into Slice the year, Monthly priorities, and Check-in; Month, Week, and Today each into a Plan tab and their review. You plan first and review later, without the two crowding one screen.
• The review opens when the plan is locked. A period's wrap-up, check-in, or reflection stays closed until you lock that period's plan, so you are not asked to review something you have not planned yet.
• Planning a quarter now starts with a theme. The quarter opens by naming itself: a short theme name and one sentence for what the quarter looks like at its best, with a second theme if you need one. The theme rides along the top while you plan, and your Quarter check-in opens by reading it back and asking whether the quarter served it.
• The quarter plan walks five numbered steps. Name the quarter, break each annual goal into its slice, set this quarter's numbers, place your months, then check in. The step numbers carry on across the tabs, so you always know where you are in the quarter.
• Committing a goal to the quarter is one tick. On the Slice the year tab, ticking a milestone commits it, with no separate step to push it into a month. A goal you count, like three long runs, splits across the three months in a small control that starts even and you can adjust, so 1-0-2 is a click away if that fits your quarter.
• Each month now sorts into three lanes. On the Monthly priorities tab, everything you committed waits in a tray, and you place it: a main focus of up to two, with lighter stretch slots for when a month goes well and a control to allow a third when a third genuinely is the point; the milestones due that month; and small goals you keep ticking underneath. A full month never drops what you place, since it lands as a stretch slot or stays visible in the tray.
• Check-ins read each lane on its own terms. Your main focus asks whether it moved, each milestone is marked met or you move its date, and small goals show a simple done count. The Month plan mirrors the same three lanes, with its main focus carried in from the quarter.
• Three tabs inside each annual goal. Every annual goal card now holds The goal, Friction Map, and Milestones as small tabs, so the goal sentence, your obstacle plan, and your milestones each get their own clean space.
• The year closes the loop. The Annual wrap-up ends with a short fit-check that walks you back through your values and Summit Goals, then a "Start the next climb" handoff carries you into the new year.
• Carry the climb forward into a new year. Open a fresh year that only holds untouched drafts and you are met with your Summit Goal per priority area, last year's win in that area (or an honest note when there was not one), and one question: what will move you toward this summit this year?
• A clear next step at the bottom of every step. Each planning tab and each annual goal card now ends with one obvious next move instead of a dead end. On the quarter it reads "Place your months" once you have committed, and "Open the month plan" once the quarter is wrapped. Inside a goal it walks you from The goal to Friction Map to Milestones and on to the next goal. Clicking a next step scrolls you up to the top of whatever it opened.
• The year offers to wrap when it is winding down. Once your annual plan is locked and the calendar reaches December or January, the Annual goals tab ends with a gentle Annual wrap-up step, so closing the year is one clear move when the time is right.
• Tidier tabs on phones. On a small screen the tab strips show the tabs you are not on as plain numbers and spell out only the one you are reading, so the row always fits.

18 July 2026

Your plan now coaches you with your own words: see where each choice lands, plan smarter for obstacles, and design for the bad week.

• A sharper strengths profile, if you want it. After the word-cloud rounds, an optional "Sharpen your profile" pass adds 20 short questions (about 3 minutes, from public-domain research items) for more precise dimension scores. The words you picked stay your named strengths. If a dimension has too few picks to read, the app says so plainly instead of guessing.
• A smarter Friction Map on your goals. When you plan a goal's obstacles, you now sort each one by whether it is in your control and whether it keeps coming back, and the app points you to the counter-move that fits: an if-then plan, a change to your setup, or a Plan B trigger for what you cannot change. Your Life Areas notes on external factors show up right there to help you sort.
• Back a plan with your own strengths. Any if-then response can carry a "Leaning on" line: a signature strength that backs your comeback. The app suggests a pairing and you can always change it. Your Summit Goals gain a matching lean-on and watch-out line once your strengths are in.
• The Comeback rule for habits. The habit layer now leads with one idea: protect the comeback, not the streak. On a hard day, drop to your lazy-day version, a two-minute fallback you set in advance, and your streak holds with an amber tick. A full day right after a lazy one fires a comeback badge. If a day goes fully empty the streak resets, and the move is the same: come back the very next day, even tiny. Builds on the never-miss-twice idea.
• Your alternate plans stay useful. If several weeks close heavy on goals under your active plan, the coach offers your other plans for a side-by-side re-read instead of telling you to push harder. A re-read resets the signal; a quiet "Not now" rests it for two weeks.
• A third lens on your Life Areas. Alongside the External factors note, you can mark whether a gap is mostly yours to move, mixed, or mostly context. Areas you mark as mostly context steer their goals toward how you respond, not toward forcing an outcome you do not control.
• A one-line weekly win. The Full system's weekly reflection gains an optional "One win this week" line. Note a single win in about two minutes and it lands as a card on your Wall of Wins. It stays hidden in the Essentials lens.

17 July 2026

Know your strengths, read your Life Areas at a glance, and take your whole plan with you as one PDF.

• New: a strengths check. An optional step between Values and Purpose. Pick the 5 words most like you from a word cloud (it reshuffles every 20 seconds to keep your first instincts honest; a "No time pressure" switch turns that off), then your 3 watch-outs. You get a profile on 5 science-grounded dimensions (built on the public-domain IPIP Big Five) topped by a headline archetype, one this-week action per strength, and an editable "If [obstacle], then I will [action]" plan per watch-out. Skip it or revisit it any time; what you find feeds your Purpose step, your Summit Goals, your habit suggestions, and your week plan.
• The save pill explains itself. The pill at the bottom right now reads "All changes saved on this device". Click it for "What gets saved?": a plain list of what is stored and where, a "Last saved" line, and the backup-file download. Downloading a backup now confirms on the pill instead of a popup.
• A clearer Life Areas Map. Satisfaction (blue) and importance (pink) are now color-coded on the wheel, the sliders, and the value chips, with the importance line drawn as a clear pink outline. The area names around the wheel are now buttons: hover shows a pill outline, click opens that area. Each area's detail gains an "External factors" prompt (what is in your control, and what is context you adapt to), and Environment's description now centers on the spaces you can shape.
• Download your plan as one PDF. More menu → "Download plan as PDF": choose the sections you want (values card, year, quarter, month, week, and day plans, Habit Garden, Wall of Wins) and a date range (current period; this week, month, quarter, or year; or custom dates), see a size estimate, then save through your browser's print dialog. The button on each screen is now called "Print / Save PDF".
• A gentle backup reminder. Every fifth plan you lock without a recent backup file, a small toast offers a one-tap backup download.
• Theme polish. Smoother background gradients on all 33 themes in both light and dark mode, with no more visible color banding. Dark mode primary buttons now use white text on deeper button colors, four neon themes got readable light-mode accents, and the settings tabs fit on one row.
• A refreshed demo. Maya, the sample user, is now a bank branch manager with a believable year: a part-time banking diploma, a push into the regional top 10 without weekend work, a first 10k, family nights, and choir.

3 July 2026

A gentler first hour, and your discoveries become keepsakes.

• Start with the essentials. New users now begin with a focused version of the app: one Summit Goal and one annual goal to start, one vision composer, and the extra options folded neatly away. The full system is one tap away the whole time, from the switch next to the menu, in the welcome, or in Settings. Your data is identical in both views, so you can switch back and forth any time and nothing is ever lost. Existing users keep the full system exactly as it is.
• Your discoveries become cards you can keep. Finishing your values, your purpose statement, or your life areas map now produces a beautiful card you can save as an image or share. Your values card, your purpose card, your life balance wheel: real results, worth keeping.
• Choosing your focus is now a win. When you map your life areas and pick the two to focus on, that decision lands on your Wall of Wins as a "Compass set" card, with your balance map exactly as it looked on the day you decided. Your Wall starts filling in from your very first session.
• Honest time promises. The welcome now describes the real shape of the journey: three short sittings of about 20 minutes each, with clear good-stopping-points along the way. Everything saves as you go.

1 July 2026

The Habit Library now covers all ten life areas.

• 250 ready-made habits to start from. When you add a habit you can now pick from a curated library that spans every life area: Physical Health, Emotional Wellbeing, Relationships, Career, Financial, Growth and Learning, Fun and Recreation, Purpose and Meaning, Environment, and Contribution. Twenty-five starting points per area, and you can still start blank whenever you prefer.
• Each one is a real, well-formed habit. Every preset comes with an identity line, a trigger, a reason why, a reward and an easier lazy-day version for busy days. Many include three intensity levels so you can start gentle and build up, and some suggest a habit that pairs well with it.

30 June 2026

A big polish pass after a full design and usability review, plus a step-by-step run through the whole program on desktop and phone. Lots of small things that add up to a smoother first hour.

• Clearer start. After you type your name, "Continue" is now an obvious filled button instead of looking like a plain link. When the box is empty it reads "Skip for now", so adding your name feels like the main path. If you mistype it, the first intro slide now has an "Edit name" button to fix it on the spot.
• The Vision prompts are open by default. The five short sensory prompts that make your vision vivid now show straight away, with the free-form paragraph still there as an alternative.
• Annual goals show all your areas. When you add an annual goal, every life area now appears in three clear tiers: the one with a Summit Goal, your other priority areas, and the rest. Your priorities are never hidden. Adding a Summit Goal for an area is clearly optional and links to the right step.
• One-click clear on Summit Goals. Picked an example and changed your mind? A "Clear selection" button resets the card instantly. The "add a goal for another priority area" button now stands out so you do not skip past your other areas.
• Safer deletes. Every remove, clear and delete confirmation is now clearly red, so a permanent action is obvious, and each one tells you what you can get back.
• Little explanations where you need them. The Life Areas priority score has a plain-language tooltip, the habit squares explain how to cycle them by tapping, and habit stats now have distinct icons (streak, longest streak, total days).
• Undo sticks around. On the Values ranking step, "Undo last move" no longer vanishes after a few seconds. Weekly effort options now read Small, Medium and Large instead of single letters.
• Phone fixes. The habit year grid keeps the month names pinned on the left while you scroll across the days. The reminder-calendar event count no longer sits on top of the form. Short labels like "4 of 4" and the day's anchor stay on one line, and completed steps show their names so you can tap back to them.
• Fixes. The reminder-calendar help link now opens the real Help page instead of the homepage. The Life Areas wheel no longer clips long labels like "Purpose & Meaning". The Summit Goal text is tappable to edit on phones.
• Toasts wait their turn. The small confirmation messages no longer pop up behind the welcome screen or a dialog. They wait until the view is clear, then appear.
• A cleaner name prompt. The button on the "What should I call you?" screen is now a proper button: a quiet "Skip for now" until you type, and a solid "Continue" once you do.

10 June 2026

• Print now makes a real printable. The Print / PDF button builds a clean paper layout from your data instead of printing the screen: daily, weekly, month, quarter and year plan sheets, a habit year grid (one page per habit), the Wall of Wins as a keepsake, and a frameable Values card. Every page carries a small Goals & Progress watermark.
• Start with habits if you want. The Habits step normally unlocks after your first week plan. Tapping it while locked now offers "Start with habits instead", which opens the Habit Garden right away. The full cascade stays available.
• Two new badges. "First 3-day streak" lands the first time any habit's streak reaches 3 days; "The comeback" lands when you mark a habit done the day right after a lazy day. Both become cards on your Wall of Wins, which joins the stepper with your first achievement.
• Reflections now ask what you learned. The daily reflection has an always-there, optional "One thing I learned today" line, and the weekly reflection shows its Key learnings card in both Light and Full modes.
• The reminder-calendar setup no longer interrupts. After you set your Summit Goals, a small toast invites you to set up the reminder calendar instead of the wizard opening by itself. The wizard stays one tap away under Settings → Reminders.
• Clearer bottom-bar guidance. The Continue button now names the actual next step (Life Areas, Summit Goals, the Week plan, Today) and no longer sticks in a disabled state while you type.
• Plan locks are guarded. The lock button is disabled or asks you to confirm when a plan is still empty, so you cannot lock an empty year by accident.
• Naming cleanups. The unlock screen now says "Beta password", the end-of-day section is titled "Daily Reflection", and goal measures are consistently called "Success Measures".

4 June 2026

• Welcome screen now fits phones. The password box is full-width, and the intro text no longer runs off the side.
• The feedback prompt is now a clean rounded bar instead of an odd oval shape.
• Daily priorities line up consistently on phones: the tick box sits on the left, and the hours box no longer cuts off the number.
• Evened out the spacing inside cards on phones so elements are not cramped against the edges.
• Tap to expand long entries on phones. Tapping a long task or goal title opens it as a full, multi-line view so you can read and edit the whole thing. Tap away or press Enter to save, Escape to cancel.
• Clearer plan buttons. The button that confirms each plan now reads "Lock today's plan" (and this week's, this month's, this quarter's, this year's), so it is obvious it locks in your plan rather than starting something new.
• Wider cards on phones. Trimmed the outer page margins on the planning screens so your tasks, notes and other cards use noticeably more of the screen width.
• The "Give feedback" button in the feedback prompt now opens the feedback page in a new tab.
• Fixed the reminder calendar setup. Its second step ("Rhythm", where you choose which cadences to be reminded about) was blank; it now opens correctly.
• Locking a plan now moves you forward. After you lock a year, quarter, month or week plan, the app takes you straight to the next level down so you can keep planning (year to quarter to month to week to today), instead of jumping to that period's reflection or check-in.

3 June 2026

• Better on phones. Planning cards now use the full width of your screen, so there's more room to read and type.
• Fixed your daily priorities on small screens: the task, focus-area and hours fields used to overlap or run off the edge; now they stack cleanly.
• Weekly deliverables now lay out neatly on phones: the title gets its own line, with the date, effort and delete controls sitting comfortably below instead of being squashed. The effort field is now labelled (for example "Effort: M") so it is no longer a lone letter.
• The star rating on your weekly reflections and monthly check-ins no longer spills outside its card on narrow screens.
• Tidied the background behind the sample data (removed some faint diagonal lines).

Beta 1 · first public version · 21 May 2026

The first version anyone can try. What you can do with it:

• Plan from the top down. Your values and long-term vision flow into a yearly goal, then into quarters, months, weeks and today, so what you do today always traces back to what matters most.
• The same simple rhythm at every level. Plan it, do it, then reflect on each day and week, check in each month and quarter, and close the year with a wrap-up.
• Grow habits in the Habit Garden. Tick them off daily and watch a year-at-a-glance tracker fill in as you go.
• See how you're tracking. Insights show your momentum, and a Wall of Wins collects everything you've finished (it appears as its own step once you earn your first achievement).
• Goals that go up or down. Aim higher (run more) or lower (spend less); both kinds are tracked.
• Make it yours. 26 colour themes, each with a light and a dark mode.
• Your data stays with you. Everything lives in your browser. Save a backup file whenever you like, or connect Dropbox to sync across devices.
• Try before you type. Load one-tap sample data to explore the whole app, then start fresh with your own.
