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.
