Most to-do apps help you get things done. GoalTree helps you get the right things done—by connecting every daily task to your life goals. From life goals down to daily tasks, every action connects to something bigger. GoalTree shows you exactly how. THE PROBLEM Completing tasks is easy. Completing tasks that actually matter? That takes clarity. Most productivity apps treat tasks as isolated items to check off. You stay busy, but never feel like you're making real progress toward what matters. A DIFFERENT APPROACH GoalTree works top-down. Start with your life goals. Break them down through decade, year, and month-level objectives, all the way to today's tasks. When you complete something small, you see exactly how it contributes to something big. THE 8-TIER SYSTEM Life → 10-Year → 5-Year → 1-Year → 6-Month → Monthly → Weekly → Daily Every task has a purpose. Every action serves something bigger. FEATURES - Multiple goal trees for different life areas - Guided wizard builds trees from life to daily - Tier View—see all goals at any level - Progress tracking at every tier - Carry-over tracking shows postponed tasks - Recurring goals for habits - Review prompts keep you on track - Clean, focused design WHO IS THIS FOR? GoalTree is for people who want their work to mean something. If you've ever felt busy but not productive—or completed tasks without feeling real progress—this is for you. This isn't another checklist app. It's for people who want clarity, purpose, and to see how daily effort leads to long-term achievement. PRICING Your first goal tree is free—with unlimited goals. Create as many goals as you need, experience the full methodology, and see if it works for you. Want multiple trees for different areas of life? Unlock unlimited trees with a single purchase.
