Best longterm goal app ❤️

NORTH STAR is the best goal app I’ve tried. I use it for yearly goal setting and check it at least daily. It keeps me focused, gives me a sense of achievement and progress, and helps me feel less scattered. I use measurements to log hours for projects that I know will be time-consuming, because it gives me motivation from the reminder of how much work has gone into it. I love how you can change the setup and layout of different goals, the colors, the deadlines, milestones, everything. I LOVE this app and I can’t recommend it enough!

Something Missing

I really enjoy this app and it is works really well for managing my goals and tasks. However, I feel like a few things are missing. First: You should be able to change the way any unit is shown on the “measures” tool. By default, it is on average, but it should be able to be changed to “last added”, “highest value”, etc. The other thing also has to do with the “measures” tool. A unit that you should be able to select is percentage. With percentage you could also use the previously mentioned “last added” measurement, so it will always display the current percentage, not the average. Other than these little things. This app is great!

Nothing makes us happier than solid, constructive feedback! 🤩 We appreciate you so much. 1) tap on the average button — there are other view types: difference, highest value, and latest value. So they’re there already 🤩 2) yes, we missed the percentage, so the easiest work around is to use % as a custom measurement for now. But that’s a quick fix so we’ll add it in there too! Please let us know if you have any other requests via the feedback tool in the app. We always respond and constantly rearrange our roadmap based on those requests! Thanks again!!! - Katie (cofounder)

In love with this app

I usually get bored with self help apps because they just don’t stick with me or don’t have enough customization for me. This app lays out everything I need to organize my life and goals in the simplest way possible and I can definitely see my self using this long term. I’m absolutely in love with this app.

Very useful!!

I've tried alot of scheduling apps. They never seem to stick, though- sometimes it's because they had little to offer, or just wouldn't let me access anything without paying a crazy amount. I think part of North Star's success is that it gives you all the resources you need on a (to me,) very satisfying platform. You can pay to upgrade the app, but alot of people can't afford to pay that much for an app; however, even if that's true for you, you can still use all the basics! I would highly recommend the app to anyone making a New Years Resolution. It's very useful, and lets you customise it to your needs. (And it's free, so that's definitely a plus.) 😊

So so nice to hear that North Star is the app that might finally help things stick 🤩 Thanks so much for the support, we appreciate you so much. By the way, the app is free this month — so add a ton of goals! You get to keep all those goals even after the free month is over 😎 (you’ll only be asked to upgrade if you add more goals after May 1st. But any ones you add now, you can keep forever without paying 🥳) - Katie (cofounder)

Easy

I am enjoying this app so far. Didn’t require sign up or personal information which was possibly my favorite part when coupled with the ease of use and ability to set up all of the things I wanted to keep track of. I wanted to plan rewards also but was able to modify and do that with the planner feature. I’m sure there are additional tools in the full version though.

Awesome so far!

So far this is one of the few apps that do almost everything that I want! Finally customizable goals with subsections of complexity! Thank you! Awesome work.
I know it’s still growing and I’d love to see more customization in moving goals and priorities around vs putting them in and not being able to control the order. Both on main screen and within habits etc. Would also be great to see what needs to get done today vs this week vs this month in a separate view.
