Most productivity apps are built for tasks. Plotlines is built for goals. Create a plotline for anything you're working toward—a career move, a wedding, a thesis, a launch—and give it room to breathe. Break big goals into subplots. Add the tasks and notes that belong to each one. Let what's active right now surface on its own, so nothing slips between Monday and Friday. WHY PLOTLINES • Goals, not just to-dos: Each plotline holds its tasks, notes, and history in one place • Subplots: Break big, messy goals into focused, manageable pieces • Active: Today's tasks and upcoming due dates across every plotline, in one view so deadlines never sneak up • History: See your completed items laid out, and see what you've accomplished. • Status at a glance: Active, Waiting, Paused, Completed • Notes that stay put: Context lives inside the goal, not scattered across apps and tagging chaos. PLOTLINES PRO Upgrade for the full picture: • Unlimited active plotlines • Nested subplots • Shared plotlines: Invite collaborators and plan together, in sync • Protected plotlines: Lock sensitive goals behind Face ID Free to start. Pro is $4.99/month or $39.99/year (and the annual plan starts with a 7-day free trial). Some goals take months.
