Read full description

Proof is your daily accountability app for goals, habits and focused work. Set goals that matter, turn them into practical steps, plan a realistic day, and follow through with a focus timer and useful reminders. Your daily score helps you understand how your planned work went. DAILY ACCOUNTABILITY, WITHOUT THE CLUTTER Choose what you are taking on today. See your next piece of work and log progress from Today. Missing data lowers confidence instead of being counted as failure. GOAL PLANNER & HABIT TRACKER Organize work, fitness, creative projects and personal interests. Build goals with notes, steps and substeps. Plan recurring activities or keep hobbies tracked without making every interest a daily obligation. PLAN TASKS AROUND YOUR LIFE Use a task list, daily timeline or weekly calendar grid. Schedule time blocks when timing helps, or leave work untimed. Adjust your day when life changes. FOCUS TIMER FOR YOUR NEXT STEP Start a focus session for a goal or a specific step. Pause when you need to, then see the time you put in. Focus on one piece of work at a time. PROGRESS YOU CAN UNDERSTAND Record work manually, use focus sessions, or optionally connect Apple Health for supported activity goals. Review your week and see how your planned work went. REMINDERS, WIDGETS & APPLE WATCH Keep your plan close with reminders, Home Screen widgets and the Apple Watch companion. Useful nudges help you act while there is still time in the day. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your goals, notes and progress stay on your devices. No account is required. Optional permissions are under your control. Export or delete your local records from Settings. This release has no ads, tracking or active paid subscription. Make your next step clear. Download Proof and build daily accountability around the life you actually have. Proof is a personal planning tool, not medical advice. Apple Health, calendars, notifications and Screen Time features require the relevant permissions. The Watch companion requires a paired iPhone; the iPhone maintains the authoritative records.
