See whether your goals are on track
Griply shows a progress chart for every goal, so you always know how close you are to what matters. Amazing Marvin organizes your tasks well but has no layer to show whether those tasks are moving your goals forward.
Your sessions stay in execution mode
Griply's opinionated structure means your sessions start working on your goals and habits. In Amazing Marvin, the 100+ strategies can pull you into building the system instead of working inside it.
Build habits that move your goals forward
Griply's habit tracker connects each habit to a goal, with statistics. Amazing Marvin treats habits as recurring tasks with no link to goals, so there is no way to see which routines are actually moving your plan.
Your full planning workflow on your iPhone
Griply's iOS app covers the full planning workflow, so a plan you set on your Mac is just as accessible on your iPhone. Amazing Marvin's mobile is designed for quick capture, so real planning waits for the desktop.
Is Amazing Marvin free?
Amazing Marvin has a 30-day free trial, then requires a paid plan to continue. Griply has a free plan you can start today with 2 goals and 2 habits, plus a Premium plan at $4.99/month or $29.99/year for unlimited goals and habits.
Does Amazing Marvin have an app?
Amazing Marvin has an iOS app, but it is designed as a quick-capture companion rather than a full planning surface. Users describe it as significantly more limited than the desktop version. Griply's iOS app is a full planning experience, so you can plan, review goals, and track habits from your phone without switching to the desktop.
Can Griply replace Amazing Marvin?
For goal-focused daily planning with linked tasks and habits, yes. Griply gives you a goal hierarchy, progress charts, and a roadmap that Amazing Marvin does not have. If you rely on Amazing Marvin's behavioral strategies, the Procrastination Wizard, or its deep customization, Griply does not replicate those. Griply is the better choice if you want a system that starts with your goals and builds your day from there.
Is Amazing Marvin good for goal tracking?
Amazing Marvin is a strong task manager with behavioral strategies, but it does not have a built-in goal layer. You can create projects to represent goals, but you cannot track progress toward them or see a roadmap of where you stand. Griply is built specifically for that connection.
How long does it take to set up Griply?
You can start planning in minutes. Add your life areas, set your first goals, and the hierarchy is ready. Griply's structure is opinionated on purpose, so there is nothing to configure before you can add a task.
What is a good Amazing Marvin alternative?
Griply is a strong Amazing Marvin alternative if your priority is goal-first planning. Where Amazing Marvin centers on task management and behavioral strategies, Griply centers on your goals, with tasks and habits that connect back to them. You get goal progress charts, a roadmap timeline, and a full-featured iOS app from the first login.
