Stop forgetting your yearly goals. AimYear keeps them visible every single day. Set up to 15 aims across 5 life areas — Health, Finance, Relations, Work, and Happiness. Check in daily with a simple tap: Good, Bad, or Nothing. See your progress unfold over the year. THE PROBLEM Every January starts the same. A long list of resolutions. By February, they're forgotten. The problem isn't motivation — it's losing sight of what you set out to do. THE SOLUTION AimYear is built around focus and daily awareness: • 15 aims maximum — forces you to prioritize what truly matters • 5 life areas — ensures balanced growth, not tunnel vision • Daily check-in under 60 seconds — Good, Bad, or Nothing for each aim CAPTURE YOUR MEMORIES It's not just checkboxes. Add notes and photos to remember what went perfectly and what didn't. Your morning run, that meal you're proud of, the book you finished — capture the moments that matter. Over time, this becomes your personal journal of wins and growth. NO PRESSURE Forgot to check in yesterday? No problem. You can track any time — today, tomorrow, or catch up on last week. Life happens, and AimYear doesn't punish you for it.
