Define goals that matter, split them into milestones, plan the week ahead and reflect on every step—even when motivation is hard to find. MotivAction is a goal planner that turns meaningful goals into milestones and concrete weekly actions. Build a realistic weekly plan, keep the next step visible and beat procrastination one small win at a time. PLAN GOALS AND MILESTONES Keep several goals side by side. Write down why each one matters, choose a reward and break the journey into milestones and submilestones. TURN GOALS INTO WEEKLY ACTION Plan the actions that move a goal forward. Choose the right days, add a separate time and subtasks for each day, or track goal-linked work outside the weekly plan. BEAT PROCRASTINATION HONESTLY Record your mood before starting. When you finish, reflect on effort, time and satisfaction. Even “I didn't feel like it, but I did it” becomes visible progress. SEE EVERY EFFORT ADD UP Each completion adds another mark to the goal it supports. Focus on the next step while keeping the longer journey in view. LOCAL-FIRST. NO ACCOUNT. Your data lives on your device first. Private platform-cloud backup can protect it without a MotivAction account, and your goals and notes never pass through a MotivAction server. Available in English and Polish. MotivAction follows your system language.

Great premise, but much under-utilized

The app is a great concept and is very well designed but I felt it was lacking in a major way. When you first create tasks, it asks you to fill out a survey of sorts with questions like "why do you want to do this?" and "What will you achieve by keeping this goal?" (along with many other questions like that). It was very motivating to fill it out and made me want to accomplish the goal. But, when I would fail to complete the task, the app brought none of that motivation back. Instead, I was provided with the same "You can do it" (paraphrasing) message over and over. It worked the first couple fails but eventually, I just stopped reading it and there was no motivating factor, which is a big failure for a motivation app. Again, the app is laid out very well and is extremely visually appealing and easy to use. However, I found no use in it after 3-4 weeks because I wasn't reminded of why I wanted to achieve that goal repeatedly when I failed to do the task. And that's a major failure for this app in my eyes.

In 48h we should deploy a new version which fixes this problem. :)

Not fully baked = good idea; not edible

I downloaded the app when it was free and am glad I didn’t pay for it. Because it’s not usually free and there doesn’t appear to be a way to reach the developer for feedback, I’d recommend not downloading it until its does the minimum of what it needs to do.Here’s my take, so far:Pros: The premise is great. The guidance questions are thoughtful.Cons: User-adjustable settings appear non-existent. App has buttons that go no where. It feels like the developer had great intentions but added it to App Store before it was finished.How to use: It’s a good app to provide prompts when setting goals, but you’ll want to write out your goals in a separate sheet of paper.Appears to use the S.M.A.R.T. Goal system.

Your goals and weekly plan now work together. • Link an action to a goal and watch every completion add up. • Set a separate time and subtasks for each scheduled day. • Expand days and tasks independently. • Track goal-only actions even when they are not in the weekly plan. • Feel haptic feedback and celebrate important first wins.

Version 0.8.5 Sep 3
