Goals — the long game, on its own surface
Todo apps are great at Tuesday. They’re terrible at “finish the thesis by May”. Goals gives ambitions their own structure, timeline, and link to the daily grind.
Feels like: a habit tracker and a semester planner had a very organized child.

vs Todoist / TickTick
A goal in a todo app is a task with a scary date. Here, goals are first-class: place milestones across a month, watch progress accumulate, and see the trajectory — not just today’s list.
vs a spreadsheet + calendar combo
The duct-tape stack works until it doesn’t. Goals lives in the same graph as your boards and canvases, so “the plan” and “the work” stop drifting apart.
What you get
Milestones on a calendar
Assign goals to days, see the month at a glance, drag occurrences around as life happens.
Structure and progress
Break goals down, complete occurrences, watch the record build — momentum you can look at.
Linked to execution
Reference boards, tasks and canvas cards from a goal; the graph keeps strategy and work in one view.
Offline-first by default
Same local-first sync layer as the whole suite. Your goals don’t need wifi.
Works with Kanban and Canvas — everything links into one graph.
