About

I’m an indie iOS maker behind Acta. I build calm, focused tools that help people turn meaningful but vague goals into plans they can actually follow—without streak pressure, social comparison, or noisy dashboards.

What makes a goal app feel helpful instead of judgmental?

I m building Acta for goals that begin as something vague, before you know what the plan should be.

Instead of asking people to create a perfect plan, Acta asks a few adaptive questions, turns the answers into editable milestones and daily actions, then steps back.

I m curious: when a goal app loses you, is it usually because of too much setup, too much coaching, or guilt from streaks? How much structure feels helpful before it becomes pressure?

I m launching Acta today and would genuinely value examples from your own experience.

Acta - Turn a vague goal into a plan you can start today

Acta is an iPhone goal planner for goals that still feel vague. A short, adaptive interview turns your idea into editable milestones and daily actions. Then the AI steps back, leaving a calm place to track completions, quantities, measurements, and short journal notes—without streak pressure or social noise.
