## What is Goalo?

Goalo is a unique task management app that helps you block out distractions and focus on your top priorities. If your work and life are full of to-do tasks and you want to focus on them one by one, then Goalo is the right choice for you.

---------------------

Goalo’s story setting:

Laika is an astronaut,
After a series of accidents, his spacecraft crash-landed on the planet code-named C511HU,
He lost contact with the space agency,
Fortunately, he was not injured.
Unfortunately, before him are life and death issues.

He told himself that he could not sit still, he needed oxygen, water, food, and he needed to tell his family that he was still alive...

Laika sorted out all to-do tasks through Goalo and prioritized them. Goalo will automatically display the first task clearly, and other tasks will gradually fade out of view and become blurred, so that Laika can concentrate on completing the first task in front of him. After solving the first problem, the second problem will become the first, and so on, until all tasks are completed.

Laika clearly knows that even in the face of the vast sea of ​​stars, he has only one goal: Back to EarthGoalo is a unique to-do list tool.

Every day you make a lot of to-do lists, and then you hit them one by one according to your priorities.

But do you find that most of them don't need your attention at the moment, but they are showing up in your to-do list, and every time you check the list you get distracted and even frustrated because you feel that there are too many tasks to finish.

In fact, the first task you need to focus on is the first one, the other tasks should fade out of your view and don't need to be seen at this moment, so that you can reduce the visual burden and mental anxiety, and better complete the task at hand. That's what Goalo is designed to do, to help you block out distractions and focus on your primary task.

To make Goalo even more interesting, we added astronaut stories that fit well with the original design.

### 5/5 — 👍

*2025-09-23, version 2.8.9*

下にあるタスクはボケるので、私のようにタスクが増えすぎてクラッシュする人にいいと思います。

### 2/5 — 好不容易做好被重置

*2024-07-22, version 2.8.9*

為什麼被重置了？

### 1/5 — bad

*2024-01-06*

i write a task and next i cant write one

### 5/5 — I love the simplicity!

*2023-12-29*

I love it! Its simple interface, plain black and gold color theme, minimalistic look, straightforward to-do list approach with subtasks, combined with a simple storyline and a simple reward system (looking for microbes while character is stranded in alien planet) all work great for me! This app is a no fuss and no fluff focus app if your intention is meeting deadlines and staying on track of your goals.

### 4/5 — interesting concepts but insufficient

*2022-12-12, version 2.8.6*

This format aims to reduce complexity, but in doing so it also sacrifices too much flexibility. Also, the interface could use more polish. I do love the story though.

### 1/5 — 一直遺失任務編改結果，到最後一直閃退

*2022-05-07, version 2.8.4*

問題很嚴重，我很急著使用但卻打不開了，快點更新把問題解決掉。

### 4/5 — デザインが素敵

*2022-04-12, version 2.8.4*

雰囲気が好きなので、しばらく使って目標達成したいです。
良かったら課金もしたいです。

改善要望というか…

タスクの追加を、上に追加していくか、下に追加していくか、設定で変更出来たら嬉しいです。

### 5/5 — Question

*2021-12-10*

It’s a great app! But what’s the accumulated focus time? Is it how much time we have to complete that task, kind of like a timer?

### 3/5 — Like the concept, but many ads

*2021-08-19*

I liked the overall concept of the app and it looks neat, and decided to go ahead and upgrade to the paid version within minutes of downloading the app. However, after upgrading to the supposedly no ads version, I kept getting popup ads telling me to try out their other apps and everytime I do something in the app, it tells me to review it, hence the review you’re seeing now. I didn’t want to review it initially because I’ve only been using it for less than a few hours, but I’m tired of the constant popups 🙁 Please, please stop with all the popup ads and review requests!

### 1/5 — 買了pro版 想說iPhone iPad 之間可以同步使用

*2021-07-31, version 2.8.3*

結果同步時間不一致
感覺非常差
新增完一堆的任務
甚至會在完成第一項任務後全部消失
已經發生第二次了
越來越沒有耐心使用產品

希望可以優化到跟apple原生提醒事項的同步率
