LifeGrid

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I just shipped something I've wanted to exist for years.

I'll be upfront: I broke the classic founder rule of "don't build for yourself." But I'd been waiting for someone else to solve this problem, and year after year, nothing showed up that worked the way I needed. So I finally built it.

The product: LifeGrid is a personal planning system designed to force a real connection between your long-term priorities and what you actually spend your time on each day.

The problem it solves:

For years, I kept bumping into the same frustrating question: Is what I'm doing today actually moving me toward the things that matter in my life?

And I never had a good answer.

My tasks lived in one app. My goals lived in another. My habits were tracked somewhere else. None of them talked to each other. I'd finish a productive week, check off dozens of tasks, and still feel like I hadn't made real progress on the things I cared about most.

The problem wasn't a lack of tools. The problem was that none of those tools started with the right question: What actually matters to you, and how does today's work serve that?

How LifeGrid works:

LifeGrid flips the typical productivity approach. Instead of starting with tasks and hoping they roll up into something meaningful, you start at the top and work down.

First, you define your Life Areas: the domains that matter to you. Health, career, relationships, finances, personal growth, whatever is real for your life.

Then you set OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) within each Life Area. These are your goals with measurable outcomes attached.

From there, you create Projects and Habits that directly support those OKRs. Every project and every habit is explicitly anchored to a life area and objective.

The result: instead of juggling a scattered collection of tasks across multiple apps, you get a single prioritized queue for your entire life. You can see at a glance what's getting attention and, more importantly, what's being neglected.

Weekly planning becomes the moment where you decide what deserves your focus. Daily planning becomes the control point for what actually enters your day. And because everything traces back to your life priorities, you always know why you're doing what you're doing.

Two features I really like:

Defer: Not every task is ready to be worked on right now. Maybe you're waiting for information, or the timing just isn't right. Deferring lets you "snooze" tasks until a specific date. They disappear from your queue and resurface automatically when they're relevant. It keeps your focus on what's actually actionable today without losing track of future work.

Delegate: When someone else needs to take action, you can hand off the task while keeping it in your system. Delegated tasks live in a "Waiting on Others" view, and you can set follow-up dates so the task resurfaces when it's time to check on progress. You stay accountable for work you've handed off without it cluttering your active queue.

The core philosophy:

Your to-do list should serve your life vision, not the other way around.

Most productivity systems treat tasks as the atomic unit. LifeGrid treats your life priorities as the foundation: Life Areas → OKRs → Projects and Habits → Tasks. It's a small shift in structure, but it changes everything about how planning feels.

I'd genuinely love your feedback.

This has been a solo project born out of personal frustration, and I know it won't be perfect out of the gate. If you try it and something doesn't click, I want to hear about it.

Thanks for reading, and for any feedback you're willing to share. 🙏

Is it similar to Toggl? Or?

Nice idea and clean concept.

A bit unfortunate there’s no free access without trial to explore it first.
