# Griply: Goal-First Productivity App

> Stop managing tasks. Start achieving your goals. Griply is the only app that connects your long-term vision to your goals, daily habits, and tasks — all in one place.

Griply is a goal-first productivity app built to close the Action-Purpose Gap — the disconnect between daily tasks and long-term goals. Most productivity apps are "Why-agnostic": they manage what you do but not why you're doing it. Griply connects every task upward to a goal, a life area, and a personal vision.

The Action-Purpose Gap is Griply's core concept. Ambitious people feel busy but not productive because their daily tasks are disconnected from their long-term goals. Griply was built specifically to close this gap with a top-down, purpose-first system: task → subgoal → goal → life area → vision.

Griply is built for ambitious people who feel busy but not productive — people who have tried Todoist or TickTick and found they lack a goal layer, or who built Notion systems that collapsed into endless tinkering. Ideal for personal development enthusiasts, Life OS practitioners, people who follow systems like GTD or Ali Abdaal's Second Brain, and anyone who wants to connect daily actions to a meaningful long-term vision.

Core hierarchy: Vision → Life Areas → Goals → Subgoals & Projects → Tasks & Habits.

Platforms: Mac, Windows, iOS, and Web. Free to start. App Store rating: 4.6 average. Built in the Netherlands.
