5Goals: Choose and Focus Inspired by Warren Buffett's famous 5/25 rule — the simplest way to find what truly matters in your life. Buffett once advised his pilot: write down 25 wishes, circle the top 5, and forget the rest. Those 5 become your life goals. Everything else is just a distraction. 5Goals turns this into 3 simple steps: STEP 1. Add your wishes — up to 25 things you want in life. STEP 2. Promote 5 wishes to your goals. STEP 3. Give up the rest and focus only on what matters. Organize everything with an intuitive tab-based interface — switch between Goals, Wishes, and Give-ups with a single tap. What's New in v2.0.0: - Completely rebuilt from the ground up - Bold Neo-Brutalism design - iOS Home Screen widget — see your top 5 goals at a glance - Sign in with Apple or Google to sync across your devices - Daily reminders — get notified of your goals at the time you choose - Smooth drag-and-drop reordering
