GoalHack turns big, vague goals into quests you conquer at your own pace — an open-world goal-conquering app powered by AI. You have goals, but don't know where to start. You make a plan, then stall halfway through. One missed day, and the whole goal gets shelved. Sound familiar? GoalHack isn't an app where you set a goal and forget it, or one that just makes you check off a single habit every day. AI organizes your big goal into Phases, Missions, and Trainings, building a route to your goal. Each day, pick from 2-3 options that fit your time and mood, and keep your quest moving forward. ■ AI turns your goal into a conquerable route Type in the goal you want to achieve and talk it through with AI — your path to the goal gets organized into several Phases. Each Phase comes with Missions suited to your goal. Core Mission A one-time checkpoint you complete once, within a Phase Grind Mission Progress made by stacking up Trainings over time Boss Mission The final challenge that marks a Phase clear A goal you'd "get to someday" becomes a quest where you can see where you are and where to go next. ■ You choose today's path GoalHack never forces a single action on you. From the Missions and Trainings in your current Phase, it shows 2-3 options as "Today's Picks." Got time? Push forward on a Core Mission. Busy day? Log a short Training. Did something unplanned? Save it as a Side Quest. The destination is set — but which path you take today is up to you. ■ Trainings become quest progress Log repeated actions toward your goal — English shadowing, strength training, writing, building, sales, studying, and more — as Trainings. Every log earns XP and moves the linked Grind Mission forward. It's not just about keeping a streak — you can see how your daily actions connect to conquering your bigger goal. ■ Stall out, and the journey doesn't end In GoalHack, Phases advance by achievement, not by date. Instead of blaming yourself for yesterday or lining up overdue tasks, you simply pick again from today's options. Even if one Training streak breaks, your other logs, completed Missions, and earned XP are never lost. We care less about never missing a day, and more about being able to move forward again after you do. ■ Your effort adds up as XP Complete Missions and log Trainings to earn XP and level up your avatar. Your daily actions stay recorded as an Adventure Log, and clearing a Phase unlocks the next stage. Even for goals that take a while to pay off, you can feel your progress as growth along the way. ■ Great for goals like - English, TOEIC, or exam prep - Strength training, weight loss, running - Side projects, indie app development - Reading, learning an instrument, coding - Writing, illustration, creative projects - Social content or building a portfolio Built for goals that take more than a single to-do — ones that need multiple steps. ■ GoalHack Pro Core features are free. GoalHack Pro increases the number of Quests you can create and your AI usage allowance, and unlocks more avatars to choose from — built for anyone tackling multiple goals or a long-term Quest seriously. --- Don't just set a goal and stop there. The destination is set. The path is yours. Conquer your goals with GoalHack. Terms of Service: https://kentolib.com/goalhack/terms Privacy Policy: https://kentolib.com/goalhack/privacy
