## What is Excellence?

Most productivity apps track your tasks. Excellence builds your life.

If your to-do list and your actual goals have always felt disconnected, this app remediates that struggle. Excellence links your daily habits and tasks to the bigger chapters of your life, so your routine actually builds toward something. It's a full personal growth system that connects everything from a single task all the way up to a life stage.

MEMENTO VIVERE: YOUR REALITY CHECK
The Memento Vivere system shows you something most apps won't — how much free time you actually have left, and exactly how much of it you're burning on your phone with home/lock screen widgets to go along with it.
- See your remaining free years, down to the decimal, based on your real life expectancy
- Find out how many years you'll lose to unnecessary screen time (it's usually shocking)
- Watch a live ring shrink in real time as weekly commitments eat into your potential
- Share your personalized "Wake-Up Call" card with friends to inspire others

YOUR ROUTINE IS YOUR SYSTEM
Your habits and daily routine are the foundation of your daily life. Excellence is built around the present and anchored to your future goals
- Everything can connect: tasks link to goals, goals link to life stages, stages live inside categories
- Current Focus: set your present intention and keep it front and center, perfect for flow states, cutting through noise, or staying on track when ADHD makes it hard to prioritize
- Habit Suggestions: when you add a new goal, relevant habits are surfaced automatically

VISUAL PLANNING + LIFE STAGES
Stop just managing this week and start planning your life.
- Life Stage Gantt Charts: map out the chapters of your life — "The Founder Years," "Grad School," "Starting a Business" — on a real horizontal timeline
- Link goals to a life stage so you never lose sight of the big picture
- Balance Career, Health, Relationships, and Creativity with radar and bar charts

TASK, HABIT & TIME MANAGEMENT
- A temporal timeline that shows Today, Past, and Future tasks in one seamless view
- Habit streaks, milestone celebrations (7/30/100-day), a consistency calendar, and opt-in notifications when your streak is at risk
- Built-in timer with Pomodoro mode — 25/5 intervals, auto-logged to the associated category and goal (more options and time reports coming soon)
- Slide-to-defer to push tasks to tomorrow without losing your momentum
- Calendar sync (Pro) — see your iOS Calendar events right alongside your tasks

JOURNAL: YOUR INNER LOG
- Rate your mood 1–5, pick a writing prompt, attach photos, and write
- Link reflections directly from a habit or goal for instant context
- Weekly mood strip on the home screen to spot emotional patterns at a glance

REFLECT: ANALYTICS DASHBOARD (PRO)
25 customizable widgets for people who actually want to understand their data:
- Habit consistency heatmaps (GitHub-style grid), streak leaderboard, and simple cross-habit correlation
- Time tracker analytics: hours by category, by goal, estimated vs. actual logged time
- Task completion trends, on-time rates, and weekly summary cards
- Journal mood over time, XP and growth curves, life stage timeline

GAMIFIED GROWTH
Earn XP and level up as you complete goals, execute your routine, and journal your journey.

HOME & LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS
Keep what matters visible without opening the app — habit streaks, remaining free years, weekly summary, XP level, your current focus, and a quick-add task shortcut.
