It can be hard to make time for your goals, whether you want to read more books, learn a new language, or work out regularly. One day you get called into a last-minute meeting. The next day a friend is in town. Before you know it, your goals have been delayed and forgotten, even when they really matter to you. Goaly fixes this in the most literal way possible. Add a personal goal, like "run 3 times a week", and Goaly looks at your Google Calendar, finds the free slots, and schedules your goal as real calendar events. When a meeting takes over your slot, Goaly quietly finds your goal a new time instead of letting it vanish. MISSING GOOGLE CALENDAR GOALS? When Google removed the Goals feature from Google Calendar, a lot of people lost the easiest way to make time for personal goals. Goaly brings it back and makes it better. One reviewer put it simply: it perfectly replaced Google Goals. WHY IT WORKS A goal without a time slot is a wish. Habit apps that live in a list are easy to ignore, but your calendar is the one place you already look every day. Goaly turns your goals into appointments with yourself, right next to everything else in your week. Your calendar stops being a record of other people's demands on your time and starts making room for yours: exercise, reading, talking with mom, a little me time. WHAT YOU GET • Automatic scheduling that respects your existing Google Calendar • A smart algorithm that adjusts to you and schedules each goal at just the right time • One-tap check-ins: mark a goal done with "Did it" right from your calendar • Progress graphs, charts and notifications that show your consistency building • Recommended goals to get started in under a minute • Vacation mode for when life needs a pause WHO IT IS FOR People who keep meaning to exercise, read, meditate, study, or practice, and keep watching the week fill up before they get to it. If structure helps you follow through, whether that is ADHD or simply a busy life, Goaly does the structuring for you. Download Goaly and give your goals a place on the calendar. The app uses standard Apple Terms of Use (EULA). Link to Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula
