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.
Return Reminder

KeepOrReturn helps you organize the dates that come with everyday purchases and services. Add an item, choose a deadline, and set optional reminders before the date arrives. Use it for return windows, trial end dates, rental returns, warranty follow-ups, and other personal deadlines. Your deadline list is stored on your device. No account is required. Free includes 5 active deadlines and 1 reminder per item. Lifetime Unlock is a one-time $6.99 purchase that removes the active deadline limit and allows multiple reminder lead times per item. KeepOrReturn is a reminder and organization tool. It does not process returns, submit warranty claims, contact retailers, or decide whether an item qualifies for return. Users are responsible for checking dates, terms, and requirements with the relevant merchant, service, or provider. Reminder delivery depends on device notification settings, focus modes, and system conditions.
