Goals, observations and “Pulse”

Three ways to mark your day, with one idea in common: noticing matters more than scoring.

Why it matters

My goals, My observations and Pulse help you notice what happens in everyday life, outside the app. There are no scores or right results here — just quick daily marks you can look back on a week or a month later.

A mark belongs to the day it happened, so you can’t add one retroactively. That’s the point: memory reshapes the past based on how you feel today, while a mark made on the day itself doesn’t. Over time, your history can reveal things that are hard to reconstruct from memory — what you do consistently, what keeps coming up, and how your state shifts.

Goals

A goal lasts for one week. You can have up to three goals at a time, choosing from the list or creating your own.

For each goal, you set a target: how many days out of seven you plan to do it. During the week, simply mark the days when you did. There’s one mark per day, with no percentages or partial credit: not “80% done”, just “yes, today”.

A day is marked by holding. Put a finger on the goal and hold: an arc runs round the circle, and when it closes the day is marked. Let go earlier and the arc runs back — there is no half mark. Taking the mark off is the same movement. A quick tap doesn’t count: a goal touched in passing says nothing.

You can only mark today — and you can only change today’s mark. Once you reach your target, the goal is complete and no more days are added to it.

At the end of the week, you can see how many days you marked for each goal and which goals reached their targets.

You can make the goal list your own: rename the suggested goals, remove the ones you don’t need, or create your own.

Observations

An observation isn’t something you need to accomplish. It’s simply something you want to keep an eye on — an argument over something small, a conversation you keep putting off, or an extra hour on your phone.

When it happens, mark the day. A single mark may not tell you much, but after a few weeks you can start to see what keeps coming up and how often.

There’s no target to hit and no result to achieve. Observations are simply a way to notice patterns.

Pulse

In Pulse, you check in on two things once a day: Drive — how much you felt like taking action — and Follow-through — how much you actually got done.

They’re separate because drive and results don’t always line up. Some days you have plenty of energy but get very little done. Other days you don’t feel like starting at all, yet still end up having a productive day.

Looking at both scales together over time helps you see how the relationship between Drive and Follow-through changes.

You don’t have to check in every day. If there’s no entry, the day stays blank and isn’t included in your averages. A blank day isn’t the same as a zero.

What you’ll see over time

Your goal history shows completed weeks: how many goals you took on and how many reached their targets. A goal dropped partway through the week still remains in your history — the week is preserved as it actually happened. You can also see which goals come up most often.

Your observation history shows the days you marked and the observations that come up most often.

Pulse shows your last 30 days: average Drive and Follow-through, how they changed compared with the previous 30 days, and how many days you checked in.

There are intentionally no streaks, points, or rewards for keeping a run going. Missing a day doesn’t reset anything. Marks are here to help you see your own patterns more clearly over time — not to keep a counter alive.
