Monu vs MindWoods

MONU is a calm iOS planner built around one idea: your daily habits should connect to the person you're becoming. Most to-do apps are just inboxes for tasks — brilliant at capturing what you need to do, but they forget the point. MONU keeps your dreams at the top. Each dream breaks down into small, keepable habits. Those habits show up on your Today screen. And every time you keep one, the dream you're chasing moves a little closer. FOUR TABS. NOTHING YOU WON'T USE. Today, at a glance Your intention, habits, tasks, and calendar in one view. Switch between Day, Week, and Month — every date is tappable, so you can plan ahead. Vision & Dreams Write who you're becoming, then break each dream into small, keepable habits. View them as a list, or as an Ohtani-style Mandalart grid — a 3×3 goal map with your vision at the center and eight dreams around it. A Real Bucket List Life isn't only work. Sort your somedays into Need, Want, Adventure, and Growth, and tick them off as you live them. Focus Timer A gentle Pomodoro built right in. Pick 15, 25, 45, or 60 minutes, minimize it, and keep working — it resumes right where you left off. Calendar Sync Bring your Apple and Google events into your day, week, and month view, merged and de-duplicated so nothing shows up twice. Home Screen Widget Your progress ring, streak, and top tasks right on your home screen — a quiet nudge toward the day you meant to have. WHY MONU IS DIFFERENT A dream doesn't move forward when you check a box — it moves forward as its habits become consistent. Keep a habit for 21 days and it's built. You watch yourself change, not just clear a list. No feature soup. No dashboard fatigue. We cut everything that didn't earn its place, including features we'd already built. What's left is what matters. As James Clear puts it in Atomic Habits: your results reflect your systems, not just your goals. Free to download. No ads, no tracking. Works offline. Your data stays yours. Requires iPhone with iOS 18 or later.

Give your ideas room to grow with MindWoods. Make a mind map, keep an illustrated journal, plan a project, or collect sketches and inspiration in a garden of connected ideas. WRITE, READ, AND CONNECT Start with a title, then add notes and images. Arrange idea cards on the canvas, connect them with named relationships, and return to the full text when you want to read or edit. Batch entry helps you capture several ideas at once. MAKE THE CANVAS YOURS Combine notes with photo and hand-drawn stickers. Reuse creations from your personal sticker library, pair stickers with ideas, group objects, and organize their stacking order. Choose a theme and customize the toolbar around the tools you use most. Style each idea with classic or handwritten fonts, bold, italic, card colors and three levels, then let Auto Layout tidy up or arrange the garden by level. KEEP ORGANIZING Search your ideas, start from a template, and use garden history and the recycle bin to revisit earlier versions or recover content.
