Every goal is a trail up a mountain. You draw it, and Thaki walks it with you. Name where you want to end up. That's your goal, and it becomes a summit. Add milestones, the stops on the way up, and give each one tiny steps: today's small thing, small enough to actually do. Then walk them: press and hold a tiny step on the map, and the dotted trail behind you turns solid. Would rather not plan it yourself? With Thaki Pro, tap "Let Thaki plan it" when you create a goal. Thaki suggests the milestones and tiny steps; every one of them is yours to rename, reorder or delete. HOW IT WORKS • Today shows your goals. The card at the top is one button: "New goal", or "Continue" with the goal you walked last. • The Roadmap is the trail itself: hills, pines, a summit flag, and Thaki standing where you've got to. Press and hold a tiny step to walk it there, and hold a milestone to reach it. Nothing that matters happens on a stray tap. • Reach every milestone and the flag goes up, with a proper celebration. Any finished goal can be walked again. • In edit mode, rename or remove things, or hold a tiny step or milestone to lift it and drop it in place. THE PRACTICE Your first run is a short practice, with Thaki as your teacher. The goal you finish stays on your phone, marked Practice, and never uses up a free goal. THE JOURNAL Every tiny step you walk and every milestone you reach lands in the journal, in a calendar or a list: the trail behind you, day by day. THAKI Thaki is a fox, cut from paper, in a sky-blue kerchief. He greets you in the morning, cheers when you reach a milestone, and stays out of the way the rest of the time. QUIET BY DESIGN No feed. No leaderboard. No badge you have to keep feeding. No guilt trips. Thaki is never sad because of you. One nudge a day at most, only if you say yes, and never on a day you've walked. Walking your trail works offline, and your goals live on your phone first. Planning needs a connection. FREE Three goals, four milestones on each, the whole trail, the full journal, and Thaki with all of his moods. No account needed. Deleting or finishing a goal doesn't give one back. Thaki is light by default; switch to Dark any time in You › Appearance & feel. FREE, SIGNED IN The same three goals, backed up and synced across your devices, with Sign in with Apple or an email code. THAKI PRO • Unlimited goals, each with up to 20 milestones • Let Thaki plan your goal: milestones and tiny steps, drafted for you, up to 10 plans a day (planning needs you to sign in too) • Thaki's wardrobe: three more coats, five more outfits (Professor's tweed among them) and six more home-screen icons Thaki Pro is monthly, or yearly with a free week first. The free week is for new subscribers; the paywall shows the price after it and the last day to cancel. Thaki Pro renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage it in Settings › your name › Subscriptions. ABOUT THE AI Planning is a Thaki Pro feature, and it is optional. Building a goal yourself never uses AI. When you ask Thaki to plan, and only after you agree, the goal's title and your answers about time, pace and what gets in the way are sent to a third-party AI service (OpenRouter and the AI models it uses) to draft the plan. So is the pace of your last finished goal and, if you plan the same goal again, the earlier plan's milestone titles, to ask for a different route. Nothing else is sent. BUILT TO BE USED BY EVERYONE Every node on the trail is a real button with a spoken label. Text follows your iPhone's text size, with an extra in-app size setting. Reduced Motion turns the animation off. Point at a mountain. Draw the trail. Thaki will walk it with you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bitwarden Authenticator at none against Thaki's 2. Bitwarden Authenticator also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Thaki's advantage is update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
