Hyperfocus is a free, goals-first planner for macOS. It helps you choose the few outcomes that matter most, plan weeks and days around them, and make consistent progress by doing focused work
the goals-first framing is the right call, and the bit id watch is what happens when a goal stops being true. mine tend to die quietly. they sit at the top of the list for weeks after ive mentally moved on, and every week i plan under one of those im inheriting a decision i wouldnt make again today. does hyperfocus ever push back on an old goal, or is retiring one entirely on me? the feedback-on-your-goals part is what id be most careful with. a badly worded goal is easy to spot. a well worded wrong goal survives every review, and grammarly style polish tends to make the second kind more convincing rather than less. one habit thats worked for me and isnt in most planners: i write the count down after each unit of work instead of at the end of the day. drift shows up in minutes rather than at 11pm when its too late to do anything about it.

@rabnoor_s good point on goals becoming stale! The thing is – in Hyperfocus, planning works in cycles: long-term cycles (1-6 months), weekly, and daily cycles. So the app is basically building a ritual that helps you review your goals and remove things that have become stale or are no longer relevant. On top of that, all tasks are connected to your long-term goals, so it's easy to see which goals are moving forward and which are not.
Cool idea on the timers tho, haven't seen it in any apps. I guess time blocking is pretty close to this idea, but it's not in Hyperfocus yet

Love that this starts with your goals instead of just another to-do list, feels way more useful than most planners out there. Quick question: what happens if your goals shift mid week, does Hyperfocus help you adjust or do you have to redo the whole plan?

@yelyzaveta_kibets that's a good question! on one hand, the product is built on the belief that long-term goals do not change very often (e.g., think of a goal – launching on Product Hunt!); however, sometimes they do change. the cool thing is – planning in Hyperfocus is super simple. You don't spend much time organizing your goals / projects. You just set your goals for the next few months, and then just plan the next week and day. Because of that – changing the plan is not much of a hassle. However, back to your question - if your goals change, the agent can definitely help reorganize everything :)
The clean macOS-focused approach is refreshing. Having a planner built around doing fewer things well sounds useful. 👌

@dmtsepelev Love the goals-first approach! It’s so easy to get lost in endless to-do lists, so focusing on the few outcomes that actually matter feels refreshing.
Congrats on the launch!

@adana thank you so much, it means a lot to me!
that's exactly how i felt about all of the tools on the market, cause it's so easy to lose track of what's important with a long list of todos! if you give it a try – I would love to know what you think

@dmtsepelev Of course. Good luck!
