You've got something in mind: something you want to achieve, or a direction you want to head in. But in the day-to-day, the weeks blur together and it's easy to drift off course without noticing. Faro helps you stay on it. To give direction to what you want, capture what matters along the way, and understand afterward what was really going on with you. It's not a productivity app that yells at you. It's more of a reflective companion. It's about meaning over metrics. And it's always a good day to start something new. HOW IT WORKS • Set your goals: Choose where you want to get to. Start whenever you want. • Capture the moments: Write, record a voice note, or take a photo and tie it to a goal. • Reflect calmly: Run periodic check-ins (weekly, monthly, quarterly, or whenever you want): a recap of what happened, how you're doing, and what's next. There's no right or wrong answer. • Understand your patterns: Faro generates AI reviews over your own content: it contains a summary, the themes that kept coming up, your next focus, and questions to sit with. And it also cites the entries it used, so you always know where things come from. • Ask Faro: Have a conversation with your own journal. "How's my half marathon training going?", "How many books did I read this year?". It answers in your own words and shows you exactly where they came from. PRIVATE BY DESIGN This isn't a footnote, it's the heart of Faro. Your content never trains third-party AI or feeds analytics. AI stays off until you turn it on, and every review shows you which entries and check-ins it will read, so you can leave any of them out. You can also turn on Face ID lock so your reflections stay for your eyes only. ALL OF THIS IS FREE • Up to 3 goals, with unlimited milestones. • Journaling in text, voice, and photo (voice notes transcribed). • Guided check-ins: weekly, monthly, quarterly, or at your own pace. • Streaks, badges, and a celebration when you close a chapter. • Gentle reminders and a timeline for every goal • Face ID lock. FARO PRO, THE INTELLIGENCE LAYER • Ask Faro: have a conversation with your own journal. • AI reviews: monthly, quarterly, yearly, or custom. • Smart reminders, written for your moment. • A fresh prompt every day. • Unlimited goals.

Attachments live right inside the reflection step, so you can add, play back, or remove them while editing. • Your AI reviews now read what you recorded and photographed in your check-ins, not just the text. • Redesigned check-in editor, matching the journal composer. • Fixed an issue that made check-ins saved without next steps impossible to edit. • Deleting a check-in now also removes its audio and photos. • Stability and visual polish. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-14 We have some news! • Writing an entry just got a whole lot better. The composer has been completely redesigned: your title, date, and goal sit up top, and the rest of the screen belongs to what you actually want to say. The camera now opens right inside the entry, so you can grab a photo without losing sight of the draft behind it, and voice notes start recording with a single tap from the bottom bar while you keep writing. • The entry detail view has also some updates: Photos sit in a horizontal strip, and once you open one, you can swipe to the next one. • Finally, we also made some minor tweaks on the check-in and review detail screens. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-18 What's new in 1.0.2 • Reflection, your way: a new "complete" mode to look back on the whole goal, plus you now choose how deep each review goes. • Check-ins at your own pace: set how often you want to reflect, and Faro follows up with reminders on those dates. • Close your goals in style: the final celebration now shows every milestone you hit along the way. • Every goal now starts with its milestones, so the path is clear from day one. • Polished all over: new loading animations, warmer empty states, and better contrast in dark mode. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-13 What's New in Version 1.0.1 • You choose what goes into your reviews: before generating an AI reflection, you can now see and select exactly which journal entries and check-ins will be used. • More useful goals list: milestones and deadlines are now visible at a glance. • Fixed an issue where voice recordings could be attached to an entry without your confirmation. • Visual polish across the activity heatmap (especially in dark mode), the goal picker while journaling, and the review generation screen. ### 1.0 — 2026-07-13 No release notes. ## More apps by Tomas Frechou - [HEXA Space](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hexa-space/id1360917040) - [Leaf Bookmarks](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/leaf-bookmarks/id6764054855) All apps by Tomas Frechou: https://appshunter.io/developer/1360917039 ## Related topics [faro](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/faro) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
