Mentru is an AI accountability coach and goal planner for people who want to stop procrastinating, build better routines and follow through. Talk or type about what you want to achieve. Mentru turns the conversation into milestones and daily tasks, then checks back in to help you stay focused. ASK MENTRU BY VOICE Use live voice chat for natural conversation. Tap Mentru in the app or from a Home Screen or Lock Screen widget, ask what is left today, and hear the answer aloud. PLAN GOALS INTO DAILY ACTIONS Create multiple plans, break each one into milestones and practical daily tasks, and mark work complete as you go. Finish a plan to archive it, or return to an earlier plan whenever you need it. PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY THAT FOLLOWS UP Choose up to seven daily check-ins in your own time zone. Mentru can remind you when work is still open and recognise the progress you have made. Optional accountability calls arrive through the iPhone call interface and continue the conversation about your plan. TRACK HABITS AND PROGRESS Review completed and incomplete days in the Progress calendar. Open any date to see which tasks were recorded, follow your streak and understand what is helping or delaying you. REFLECT WITHOUT EXCUSES When a task slips, Mentru can record the reason you gave.
