About

Goal Planner

Features
Read full description

**Goal Planner** helps you set clear goals and actually achieve them. Break any goal into milestones and tasks, track progress, and see exactly what to do today. **SET GOALS THAT MATTER** Define what you want to achieve with a title, description, and target date. Choose a category—Personal, Career, Health, Finance, Learning—so your goals stay organized. Set a status (Active, Paused, Completed, Archived) and watch your progress over time. **MILESTONES KEEP YOU ON TRACK** Split each goal into phases. Milestones make big goals manageable and give you clear checkpoints. Add start and end dates and reorder them as you go. **TASKS YOU CAN ACT ON** Turn every phase into concrete to-dos. Add tasks with due dates, priorities (Low to Critical), and optional time estimates. Mark tasks as To Do, Doing, Done, or Blocked. Small steps add up. **TODAY VIEW** See all tasks due today—and overdue—in one place. Focus on what matters now without digging through every goal. **STAY ORGANIZED** Search goals by name. Filter by status or category. Each goal shows progress at a glance: how many tasks are done, in progress, or overdue, plus your next due task. **GOAL DETAIL** Open any goal to explore a Timeline of milestones, a full Tasks list, and Insights so you know where you stand. **QUICK START** Use templates to create goals faster: Learn a skill, Fitness, Save money, or Launch a project. Customize them and start tracking right away. **DESIGNED FOR YOU** Clean, simple interface with light and dark mode. Built for iPhone and iPad so you can plan wherever you are. Download **Goal Planner** and turn your ambitions into a clear plan—one goal, one milestone, one task at a time.
