✨ What Makes This Different

✨The Notification Center is pull-based on purpose: you check it when you're ready, so awareness never becomes interruption. See exactly where you stand—6 goals total, 5 in progress, 34 work tasks left—in 3 seconds.

✨Your most important items are redundant on purpose. They reappear in Today, Week, and your feed so nothing slips on foggy days.

✨The databases talk to each other. Enter information once, and it appears everywhere you need it. Bills auto-sync to Calendar. Tasks with deadlines flow to your timeline. Meeting tasks populate automatically. Habit completion creates timestamped entries. Monthly bills reschedule themselves.

✨One-tap resets meet you with a fresh start instead of shame. Habit Tracker covers Monday through Sunday with progress bars and encouraging messages. The single-scroll Daily Dashboard keeps everything in one gentle sweep—priorities, notes, projects, mood menu, and quick capture right under your thumb.

✨When it's time to lock in, navigation between all pages is seamless. Because every page is cross-linked, you move inside one cohesive ecosystem—not hopping between tabs or digging through tables.

✨From type size and whitespace to tap targets and color restraint, each choice lowers cognitive load and makes progress feel natural.

🔔 Notification Center

Your command center shows you exactly where you stand—instantly.

• Goals & Projects overview — total goals, in-progress goals, total projects, in-progress projects
