Goals
A Goal Has a Face
Every goal starts with a picture you chose, words you wrote, the day it began and the day you are aiming for. One look, and you remember why you started.
Learn more about goal tracking →A picture and a date
Your own photo or one from Unsplash, a start date and a deadline.
Who sees it
Private, followers only, or public. You pick when you create it.
Deadline reminders
A push and an email before the date, so a goal never slips away quietly.
Day one
A new goal starts with a short list of first things to do.
Actions
Actions the Way You Work
Break any goal into actions. Each kind tracks differently, and an action counts the moment you do it. Log an amount on any action, in money, time, distance or a unit of your own, and leave a note when you tick off a day.
Learn more about habit tracking →Once
Tick off once. Take the first lesson, apply for the job, book the trip.
Count
Count to a number, in pages, words, km or %. Up, or down from a starting point you set.
Habit
Repeat on set days, with a calendar of the days you showed up and a reminder for each one.
Journal
Write It Down
A journal inside every goal. Entries stay with the goal they belong to, and years from now they are still there, a page of your story.
Rich text
Bold, italic, headings, lists. A full editor.
Photos and a gallery
Attach photos to an entry. Every photo you share lands in a gallery on your profile.
Proofreading
Grammar and spelling checked side by side before you publish.
People
People Keep You Going
Share a goal with people who care. They see you show up, they cheer you on, and their words stay with the goal as long as it exists. Real people working on goals like yours, and no ads.
Learn more about accountability →Group goals
One Goal, Pursued Together
Create a goal as a group, invite people with a link, and track everyone's progress in one place. Close it together as a success or a failure, with a closing note.
Open or by request
Anyone with the link joins, or they ask with a note the owner reviews.
Entries with proof
Log progress, attach proof, and review each other's entries. The ledger keeps every verdict.
Group chat and reminders
Talk to your group, mention members, and set reminders that nudge everyone together.
Kept
Every Goal Stays
Finished or dropped, a goal is a page of your story. Years from now you can still open it and see what you wanted.
Close it with a reflection
Pick how it went, answer three questions, write a closing note. Close it as a success and Future You writes a few words about what you did.
It stays on your profile
Dated, with its entries, the people who saw it, and a history of what changed along the way.
Export everything
Your goals, actions, entries, comments and messages, sent to your email whenever you like.

Suggested words
A title and a description when you are stuck on how to say it.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Future You free to use?
Yes. The download is free and every core feature is included: goals, actions, habits, the journal, group goals and the community. An optional Pro subscription adds private goals, creating group goals, more photos per entry, higher writing tool limits, profile links and early access to new features. Invite a friend and you both get a week of Pro when they start their first goal.
How does accountability work in Future You?
You share a goal with friends or with the community. They see your actions, your entries and your progress, and they notice when you stop. Research shows people who write goals, share them, and report progress weekly achieve at nearly twice the rate of those who keep goals private (Matthews, 2015).
Can I pursue a goal with other people?
Yes. A group goal is one goal several people work on together. Invite them with a link, log entries with proof, review each other's work, chat with the group, and close the goal together.
What types of goals can I track?
Any goal: health, career, money, learning, relationships, creative work. Each goal breaks into actions: once, count to a number, or a habit on set days.
How is Future You different from other goal apps?
Most goal apps treat goals as a solo activity, and a finished goal disappears. Future You gives each goal a face, a journal beside it, and people who see you show up. Finished or dropped, the goal stays, for you to open years from now.
Can I journal alongside my goals?
Yes. The journal supports rich text and photos, with proofreading before you publish. An entry can be linked to a goal, so the story of each goal stays with it.
Is Future You available on iOS and Android?
Yes. Future You is on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Download it for free. Your first goal takes a minute.
Goals you keep.
Free on iPhone and Android. Your first goal takes a minute.
