Most goal tracking apps give you more to manage. GoalPath gives you less to think about. Set a goal. Break it into phases. Add tasks and to-dos to each phase. GoalPath pulls today's actions into one focused view, so you always know exactly what to do next. No clutter. No learning curve. Just a clear path from where you are to where you want to be. PLAN YOUR GOALS STEP BY STEP Structure any goal into phases, tasks, and to-dos. Training for a 5K, learning Spanish, saving money, launching a side project. You'll see your full plan and your next step in one place. TRACK ANYTHING WITH REAL NUMBERS Tracking goals let you log progress toward any measurable target. Books read. Money saved. Miles run. Watch your numbers climb on a visual progress chart. KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO TODAY Your daily view pulls to-dos from every goal into a single list. Open the app, see what needs doing, check it off. Your progress updates automatically. BUILD STREAKS. STAY CONSISTENT. A daily heatmap shows your activity over weeks and months. Track your completion rate, day streaks, and perfect days. One glance tells you if you're showing up. FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS Set one goal as your Focus Goal and keep it front and center. Everything else stays organized in the background until you need it. WIDGETS THAT WORK Add GoalPath to your home screen. See today's to-dos and your progress without opening the app. REFLECT ON YOUR PROGRESS Built-in journaling lets you capture wins, setbacks, and what you're learning along the way. Look back and see how far you've come. GoalPath is built for people who want a simple system, not another app to manage. Set your first goal in under a minute.

Your phone is designed to distract you. BlockLab is designed to stop it. BlockLab uses Apple's Screen Time framework to block distracting apps during focus sessions and scheduled blocks — the same system-level protection built into iOS, with a cleaner, more intentional interface built around how you actually work. Focus your way Create Focus Profiles with the exact apps you want blocked. Start a manual session when you need to lock in, or set a recurring schedule so blocking happens automatically — no willpower required. Real blocking, not suggestions When a session is active, blocked apps are shielded at the system level. There's no sneaking past it. Grace Period Need a moment before a block kicks in? BlockLab gives you a grace period so you can wrap up what you're doing before focus mode takes over. Pay once. Use forever. No subscription. No monthly fee. No paywalled features. Buy BlockLab once and it's yours. BlockLab is for people who want a simple, honest tool — not an app that gamifies your attention or monetizes your habits.
