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.

About

Drift

Features
Read full description

Drift is a random timer for moments when fixed intervals make you watch the clock. Set a floor, target, and ceiling, then let Drift ring at gentle unpredictable times that still average near your target. Use Drift for trainer-bike position changes, standing desk resets, stretch breaks, focus sessions, hydration nudges, meditation bells, or any reminder that should feel helpful instead of rigid. Pick a preset, choose a sound, and start a session with one tap. Your presets, settings, generated sounds, and session summaries stay on your device. Drift is free with banner ads and occasional cooled-down interstitials; a one-time Remove Ads purchase removes all ads permanently. Optional custom sound credits let you generate short AI interval cues from prompts you type. Notifications are optional and only used for your active timer.
