# 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. Last updated: 26 August 2026 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 is built around a goal that carries a target and a deadline, and your tasks and habits hang under it, so your daily work connects up 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 hierarchy: Life Area → Vision → Goal → Subgoal → Project → Task/Habit. 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: Life Area → Vision → Goal → Subgoal → Project → Task/Habit. Platforms: iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, and Web (Android on Google Play since September 2026). Pricing: free to start with 2 goals, 2 habits, and 5 projects; Premium is $4.99/month, $29.99/year, or $119.99 lifetime, with a 7-day free trial. App Store rating: 4.7 out of 5 across 713 ratings (global, August 2026). Built in the Netherlands by an independent, bootstrapped team. ## Features - [Goal Planner](https://griply.app/features/goal-planner): Break big goals into subgoals with measurable success metrics and a multi-year Gantt-style timeline. - [Habit Tracker](https://griply.app/features/habit-tracker): Build goal-linked habits with flexible schedules that reward consistency over perfect streaks. - [Task Manager](https://griply.app/features/task-manager): Why-First tasks with Smart Recognition.

Griply has a measurable goal to connect tasks to, with a success metric and a deadline, where Todoist has projects. - [Griply vs. TickTick](https://griply.app/compare/griply-vs-ticktick): TickTick has strong task and habit features but no goal planning depth, no life areas, no vision layer. - [Griply vs. Things 3](https://griply.app/compare/griply-vs-things3): Things 3 is a beautiful task manager but has no goal layer, no habit tracker, and no life planning structure. - [Griply vs. Notion](https://griply.app/compare/griply-vs-notion): Notion is a blank canvas that takes ongoing setup.
