Goals Tracker
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your goals don't need a better plan. They need one action today. Driftless is a goal tracker built around one idea: each day, you pick one concrete action toward a goal you set - sized to the energy you actually have. The app gives you the structure. You make the call - no guilt screen, just today's action, ready to go. Most goal apps are made for the day you start. Driftless is made for every day after: the busy ones, the tired ones, the ones where five minutes is all you've got. Small progress is still progress. TWO WAYS TO MOVE FORWARD PLANNED GOALS - when you know the steps Some goals have a clear path: a date, a sequence, a finish line. Break the goal into actions, set a deadline, and watch your progress climb. Each day you see what's due, so you always know what on track looks like. Good for: deadlines, training plans, learning plans, reading goals, routines with known actions. FLEXIBLE GOALS - when the path isn't fixed Some goals don't fit a schedule, and that's fine. Build momentum by choosing actions that match your energy: low, normal, or high. Keep ideas in a bucket list, pick what feels realistic today, and keep moving at your own pace. Good for: building habits, changing schedules, learning a skill at your own pace, creative projects, any goal where showing up matters more than following a plan. Most people keep a mix of both. START WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN For Flexible goals, tap Start timer, work on anything that moves your goal forward, then save what you actually did. No planning required. Show up. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add a goal and choose its type - Planned or Flexible. 2. Open the app (or your widget) and see your goal and what's due - then pick the action you'll do today. 3. Tap Done. That's the whole loop. Three seconds to know what to do. One tap to do it. BUILT FOR DAILY EXECUTION - Home - see today's focus instantly, across every active goal - Schedule ā your day's plan, fully in your hands: planned and recurring flexible actions in one view. Tired? Remove an action just for today without touching the recurrence or your progress. Energized? Add more. A schedule that bends to your day, instead of nagging you about it. - Goals - track what matters with progress that builds over time - Home screen widgets ā see today's action and tap Done straight from your home screen, no app open required. Start a Flexible goal's timer right from the widget too, so showing up is one tap away. - Energy levels (Flexible goals) ā low, normal, or high. Pick the action that fits the day you're actually having, not the day you hoped for. - Flexible timer (Flexible goals) ā don't know where to start? Begin a session, do the work, then save what you actually did. No planning needed ā sometimes progress starts with just showing up. - History ā open any goal from your home screen and see everything you've logged for it, day by day. Not a score, not a streak to protect ā just an honest record of the days you showed up. PROGRESS WITHOUT GUILT No chains to break. No red squares for the days life got in the way. Miss a day and nothing breaks ā tomorrow you simply continue. Built for real life, not perfect attendance. Goals don't fail because you stop caring. They fail because the daily action goes invisible. Driftless keeps that action visible - on your home screen, every single day. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your goals and progress are stored on your device and your iCloud account, synced across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. We don't sell your data or share it with third parties. FREE TO START The free version isn't a trial - it's the whole app, capped at one Planned goal and one Flexible goal. Upgrade when you're ready for unlimited goals. The goal is yours. Driftless just makes sure today counts. One action. One step. One day at a time.
