The idea

Goals tell you where you are going. A knowledge base gets you there.

Most people have plenty of ideas, saved links and half-finished notes, and no thread tying them to what they want. GoalZen keeps the goal in front of you. NestMarks keeps everything you learn, linked, and hands it back when you need it.

GoalZengoal managementNestMarksObsidian-style notes + Raindrop-style bookmarks
01
GoalZen

Name the goal and the date

One goal you actually care about, with a deadline. Not a pile of tasks: a direction.

02
GoalZen

Break it into milestones and habits

Milestones carry the work, habits carry the consistency. You see ahead or behind before the deadline does.

03
GoalZen

Start with one thing

Today picks the next step and marks it Start here. Finish it and the goal, the streak and the pace all move.

04
NestMarks

Attach what you know

Bookmarks, highlights and notes linked with [[double brackets]] hang off the goal they serve, and the same notes show up in both apps.

How Today works

A list that fills itself and tells you where to start.

01

Everything lands on Today

Goals, habits, project tasks, Jira tickets and notes you turned into tasks — one list, ordered by when they fit. No copying between apps.

02

One thing is marked Start here

Picked by a rule you can see: this week's pick, then overdue or due today, then the nearest deadline. Start 2 min, Focus, or Done. Not that one? Tap again.

03

The day stays honest

Planned minutes against the time you have left. Overdue piling up? Finish Mode works through it a batch at a time. Finished work moves the goal, the habit streak and the project pace.

Habits

Streaks that survive a bad day.

Every day, weekdays, pick the days, or “four times a week”. A skip passes through; only a miss breaks the streak. Habits due today sit on the same list as everything else, with the week drawn beside them.

Schedules, not guilt

Target values and units when they help — 20 pages, 30 minutes, 2 litres.

Thirty and ninety day rates

A pause is a pause, not a failure.

For developers

Your Jira tickets, on the same list as the rest of your life.

Connect Jira and the tickets assigned to you show up on Today as ordinary items, next to the habit and the side project. Finish one here and it moves to Done there. Projects with milestones tell you ahead or behind before the deadline does.

Notes

A daily note that turns into tasks.

Quick notes with tags, [[wikilinks]] and backlinks. Tick a checklist line into a task on Today. Unfinished lines carry over to tomorrow’s note. Capture a thought during a focus session and it lands in today’s note.

GoalZen + NestMarks

Saved links, attached to real work.

You stay in control

GoalZen lowers the cost of starting. It does not pretend to run your motivation.

Every plan is editable

Milestones, cues and schedules are yours. Nothing is locked in.

AI proposes, you decide

Suggestions wait for approval. Nothing is written to your goals or tasks by itself.

Reminders stay local

Notifications are set on your phone and asked for after the app has been useful, not at launch.

Your data leaves with you

Download everything as one file, or delete the account, from Settings. Sample data is removable in one tap.

Who is building this

One developer, building in the open.

Aman Ullah · Amanix Labs

GoalZen and NestMarks are made by one person. Mail [email protected] and the person who wrote the code answers.

Your data is never stuck here

Settings has Download your data (everything, one JSON file) and Delete account. Both work during the beta and after it.

Questions

Start small. Keep control.

Is GoalZen made for ADHD?

Yes, that is who it is for first. One list instead of five apps; Start here picks one thing so the choosing is done for you; Start 2 min gets you moving when starting is the hard part. A skip keeps a habit streak alive, and reminders are asked for only after the app has helped.

Is GoalZen a to-do app?

It is the list you look at in the morning, but it fills itself: goals, habits, project work, Jira tickets and notes arrive on Today without you copying anything across.

Which platforms?

iPhone first. Android runs the same app: download the APK at goalzen.app/android now, Google Play is coming soon. On a phone-sized browser, app.goalzen.app shows the same app; on a desktop it shows the full web version. One account, one API.

What does a persona do?

It fills a new account with a realistic week — goals, habits, a project, notes — dated from the day you apply it. Remove it from Settings at any time; your own entries stay.

Does AI write my plan?

No. AI can propose, you decide. Nothing is added to your goals or tasks without your approval, and every plan stays editable.

What does it cost?

Free during the beta, no card, and the Free plan stays free after it. Pro (unlimited goals, habits and projects, and Jira sync) opens after the beta. Founding member price: the first 200 people pay $10 a month or $100 a year, for life; after that it is $12 a month. GoalZen + NestMarks together is $15 a month for founding members. Your data is yours: download it, or delete your account, from Settings.

Pro waitlist

Free during the beta. Founding member price — Pro at $10/mo for life.

The first 200 people to subscribe keep $10 a month (or $100 a year (two months free)) for life; after that it's $12 a month. Leave your email to hear the day it opens, plus early access to new builds.

Your next action can be smaller

Open the app tomorrow morning and see one thing to start with.
