【GoalFeed - See Your Goals Moving Forward】 Have you ever felt like this? · You complete lots of todos every day, yet your long-term goals seem to make no real progress. · You make plenty of plans, only to abandon them halfway or forget about them entirely. · You stay busy all the time, but you're not sure whether you're actually moving toward your goals. · Your task list keeps growing, gradually becoming a source of stress and anxiety. Most Todo apps focus on one thing: Was the task completed? [Not Completed] → [Completed] GoalFeed focuses on something different: Is the goal moving forward? [Progress Today] → [Progress Today] → [No Progress Today] → [Progress Today] → ... → Completed! 【Record Progress, Not Just Check Off Tasks】 Long-term goals are rarely completed in a single day, whether it's finishing a book, building a product, learning a new skill, or improving your health. With GoalFeed, you can record how a goal progresses across different days. Even when a goal is not yet completed, you can still capture the actions, efforts, reflections, and progress you've made along the way. Because completion is the destination. Progress is the journey. 【AI-Powered Growth Review】 As your records grow over time, looking back becomes increasingly difficult. GoalFeed provides: · Visual Analytics Dashboard · Random Review Cards · Historical Search Helping you rediscover the progress and growth that are often overlooked. GoalFeed is not just another Todo List. It helps you record actions, capture reflections, and continuously review your journey, so you can see your long-term goals moving forward. Because many times, what people lack is not effort. It's the ability to see that they're making progress.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FocusLapse at none against GoalFeed's 2. GoalFeed's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
