Goals, habits, streaks

Set the goal. It keeps score for you.

Put the todos and habits underneath a goal and it reads its own progress from the work you actually did. No second place to update, nothing to reconcile on a Sunday night.

The idea

Three things, stacked in the right order.

Most goal apps ask you to do the work and then separately tell them you did it. This one watches the work.

A goal is where you are going

Run a half marathon. Save six months of runway. Read twenty books. A goal on its own is a wish, so this one does not ask you to update it: it reads its own progress from the todos and streaks underneath it.

Goals

A todo is what you do today

Including the ones that come back tomorrow, and the ones that come back three times a day. Tick them off as they happen and the goal above moves on its own.

Todos and reminders

A streak is what you keep doing

Daily, weekly, or on whatever schedule actually fits the habit. Miss one and you restart, and the history stays.

Streaks

How you actually set one up

  1. 1

    Name where you are going

    One sentence. Specific enough that you would know if you got there, which usually means a number and a date.

  2. 2

    Put the work underneath it

    The todos that move it forward and the habits that keep it moving. This is the part most goal apps leave to you.

  3. 3

    Do today's part

    Tick the todo, check in the streak. The goal reads the result and moves. You never update it by hand.

What makes this different

One version of the truth

The usual problem with goal apps is bookkeeping: you do the work, then you go somewhere else and tell the app you did the work. Here a goal borrows its progress from the todos and streaks beneath it, so there is nothing to reconcile and nothing to forget.

Keep one with other people

A Streak Room is a streak you keep together. Everyone in the room sees the same run, which makes a habit considerably harder to quietly drop than one nobody else can see.

Private unless you say otherwise

Goals, habits and the whole history behind them start private and stay that way until you share them. Sharing is a decision you make later, per goal, not a default you have to undo.

Beside everything else you keep

The books you are reading, the workouts you are logging, the places you are saving. A reading goal sitting next to the actual books is worth more than one sitting in an app that has never heard of them.

A goal, and the work underneath it

Questions

How is a goal different from a to-do?

A to-do is something you do today. A goal is where all of it is heading, and it is measured rather than ticked. The useful part is that they are linked: the goal reads its progress from the todos and streaks you put underneath it, so finishing the work is the only thing you ever have to do.

Do I have to keep the goal up to date?

No, and that is the point. Progress is calculated from the work beneath it. If you tick the todos and keep the streak, the goal already knows.

Can I share a goal or keep one with someone?

Yes. A Streak Room is a habit kept with other people, where everyone sees the same run. Goals themselves stay private unless you choose to share one.

What happens when I miss a day?

The streak restarts and nothing you already did disappears. Your best run, your history and your milestones all stay, and a streak at risk moves to the top of the list so you see it before the day runs out.

Is this a separate app or subscription?

Neither. Achieve is a section of Favist, beside your collections and everything else you keep. One account, and the essentials are free.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Favist installs to your home screen and behaves like a native app, so checking something off is one tap. Everything syncs across your devices.
