Goals vs Buffer

Most goal apps are lists. Goals is a coach. Meet the Growth Coach — a new kind of AI coach that doesn't just talk. It builds with you: share what you're working toward and the coach creates the goal, breaks it into steps, designs tiny habits around it, sets reminders, checks you in, and tracks your pace — all from conversation, always yours to confirm. And it coaches the way the best books do. The coach knows 16 research-backed methods and applies the right one to your situation: • Atomic Habits & Tiny Habits — start small, stay consistent • CBT thinking tools — for the thoughts that get in the way • Deep Work & Flow — protect and train your focus • Getting Things Done & SMART goals — get organized for real • Stoic practice, Self-compassion, Grit, The ONE Thing, and more READ THE METHOD, THEN PRACTICE IT The Practice Library is a shelf of beautiful, magazine-style guides — each method's key idea drawn as a real figure, its moving parts, golden lines from the authors, worked examples, and a "try this now" you can hand straight to your coach. TRACK WHAT MATTERS • Goals with progress, pace per day, and a projected finish • Habits with rings, streaks, and live routines you can run step by step • Your own life areas, colors, and photo backgrounds • A calendar of everything — including the days you worked with your coach PRIVATE BY DESIGN Coach chats are saved on your device, not in your account. Your history shows how much you practiced — never what you said. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Fully localized in 17 languages. The coach speaks yours. Free to start: up to 20 goals and 8 habits. Pro removes the limits. Every account includes free coach messages. Start with what's on your mind — and build from there.
