🥇 Just got the Thrive app and it’s amazing! Finally a good way to collect, organize and visualize your thoughts in a private & easy way. The app has everything you need, but here are a few things I hope to see in the near future: - iCloud integration to sync data between devices - The ability to reorder goals, and tasks inside a goal - A way to mark goals as low / medium / high priority or to sort them by time left - Daily notifications to help focus on those goals, perhaps powered by each goal’s reason - An Apple Watch app that pairs with Thrive on iOS - The ability to add goals, decisions and ideas inline to each category. Maybe adding a plus to the right of each category would make UX easier - The ability to skip the wait time globally (even if for an hour) rather than just once, especially when you’re importing stuff from reminders - The ability to share and collaborate on a goal with someone else - Nesting steps inside a goal - Setting a deadline for steps inside a goal (some might be more time sensitive than the others) I highly recommend it, especially considering the privacy-focused approach.

@alex_doda Hey Alex, I’m really glad you like it and definitely grateful for the feedback. iCloud integration is something I actually started on, especially since I’m looking at a mac app too, but I have to make sure it works reliably (Apple doesn’t give developers a lot of control and I have to be careful not to mess up your data after you worked hard to maintain your goals for weeks or months), and also make it optional for people who want to just keep their data local. But it’s definitely on the roadmap. Reordering and priority are definitely good ideas and shouldn’t be hard to do. Notifications will indeed need to get more useful than this, and that’s a good suggestion. Apple watch app is something I am considering but only if there is enough demand for it. Sharing goals should be pretty easy, collaborating is not something I can do in the near future. It’d mean having an account, storing your data on a remote server, which means security risks and all sorts of difficulties. Deadlines I think are a great idea. What do you mean by nesting though? Thanks again for all this feedback and if you liked the app, leaving a review and sharing it will really help in these early days.

@cristianmoisei For the Apple Watch app, at least a notifications companion would be nice. I know a ton of people use Apple Watch in the US. In terms of nesting, for example if you have a goal with steps, some steps might depend on other steps. So by being able to nest steps underneath each other, it could help better organize goals. Another idea I would love to see is when you add a reason, the app could analyze that string and give the user suggested content on how to get closer to their goal. For collaboration, I would recommend looking into Google Firebase - they can handle the whole authentication, database, storage, etc. It's pretty dope! Plus if / when you integrate authentication, you'll have an easier way to market to your users and give them value-based content. And one last thing I would suggest, as an internet marketer, make the app free. You could do it so that it's free with up to 3 goals and up to X steps per goal for example, with an in-app upgrade. That will make a huge difference in growth. Also left a 5 stars rating on the AppStore. 😉 Cheers! Alex

@alex_doda I've saved all that feedback and I'll definitely consider it as I keep working on the app. I have thought of a free + upgrade model too but I'd like to see how a simple upfront payment performs first. Thanks again.

@cristianmoisei Great! A few other things that popped up as I was using the app today: - When you start growing your goals list, it would be easier if there was a search bar that deep searches both for goals title and steps titles - When adding steps, it's not possible to backspace to delete an empty step. A common user may not think to swipe left - It would be nice to have a way to "complete" an idea rather than having to just delete it when it's been achieved. Also maybe converting an idea to a goal would be cool - When you have a lot of goals, rather than listing them all, perhaps it could show just 3-5 of them with a "View All" link. The ones shown on the front page could either be the closest ones, or those marked by the user with a star; Cheers! Alex

@abrupted Hey Alex, I've been working on iCloud sync since launch, seeing how a lot of people requested it, and I wanted to ask if you'd be interested in trying a beta version once that's ready. I expect to have it ready within a few days, then a full launch in a week or two.

I can't find it in App Store and I just get redirected back to get-thrive.app when clicking the app store button on you homepage. Seems like it isn't available on the Swedish app store. Are you planning to make it available?

@michael_karlstrom Hey Michael, the app should be available anywhere in the world. The only thing I can think of is the fact that it's age restricted to 12+? Maybe you have some filters on? But I just checked and all countries are ticked, including Sweden. I realised the link on the website has /us/ in it, so maybe that's the issue? Lastly, another way to try if nothing else works would be to go to my dev profile here: https://apps.apple.com/us/develo... (or search for one of my other apps Grammar Fix or EQ Playbook). Let me know how it goes.

Just got the app! I was very excited, then I realized after entering info on my iPad Pro, there is no sync feature, so when I went to use my iPhone app, I was super disappointed. It’s 2019 if an app doesn’t sync on iOS it’s useless. Hope to see updates

@harktheory Hey Robert, thanks for your feedback. iCloud syncing is at the top of the list for features to be developed and you're not the only one to ask for it so I'll be working on that next. I can't tell you how long that will take right now since it's not as easy as just flicking a switch and I want to make sure the iCloud syncing system is robust enough that there's no risk of conflicts or messing up your data when something goes wrong (i.e. your iPhone uploaded something a few minutes after you made an update because it had another background task and your iPad has a different change). I'll be sure to share an update when I start working on this and when the new version is ready.

@cristianmoisei thanks for the reply, I definitely think it has a lot of potential, and it is beautifully designed. I just wanted to share my feedback here rather than on the App Store. I know it takes a lot of work. I’ll be giving you a positive review on the App Store, definitely want this to succeed for you, and I know how important rankings are.

I've tried making this happen in Notion with a hybrid Bullet Journal but haven't stuck with. Will give this a shot and see what happens :) I was also thinking of digitizing the Passion Planner. Tried out LifeWheel and the onboarding process was a turn off so deleted it 😞 Curious, did you use any specific thought system here? Like GTD, Eisenhower Matrix, etc..?

Hi I bought the app because I thought the design looked cool and I liked the idea. There are definitely a lot of good things. However, I find myself missing a simple to-do list, for the smaller things in life that I have to take care of on a daily basis. I'm not sure if this is in-line with the overall vision of the app, but it is definitely something that would be nice to have instead of having to switch to another app.

@magnusbl Hey Magnus and thanks for the feedback. I imagined this app as being meant for big goals and tough decisions and for todos there are definitely apps that do it better, but it wouldn't be too hard to do either and I haven't thought about it from your point of view (it's simply easier to have everything in one place). Would you mind adding this suggestion here? You can also use this page to keep track of upcoming features and what I'm working on at the moment: https://thrive.feedbear.com/boar... Right now, the focus is iCloud and several fixes for iOS13 as well as some small bugs people discovered, but as soon as I finish that, I will start looking at ways of making the app more useful. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts, I want to make this an app that works for its users and getting this sort of feedback really helps.

@cristianmoisei Hi Chrstian and thank you for the detailed response. I did think that that was probably what you were going for with this app. However, I value simplicity a lot, and I definitely think that a todo-list of small daily productive tasks that can not necessarily be classified as goals or ideas fits within the vision of your app. Like you said, it does not have to be anything super advanced. Just like a basic list of things like e.g. doing laundry or whatever it might be.

@magnusbl Thanks Magnus. I think this is a good idea then and I will keep it in mind. As I said right now I am focusing on building iCloud Sync, but as soon as that is done, I will look into this sort of experience improvements.

One suggestion would be to let us give ourselves less than a day to accomplish a small goal, like sending an email we’ve been putting off - there are a lot of small goals like this that I have, but the only options are 1 day or more

@jgidseg Hey Joey, that’s an interesting suggestion, and I’ll definitely keep this sort of approach in mind. When I designed it I imagined bigger goals so there aren’t a lot of features like that. When you create a goal You can set ‘how much do you need’ to one day, but it won’t send a reminder or anything, again because it’s meant for longer term goals. But I will keep it in mind. Thanks again.

@cristianmoisei thanks for thinking about it. I was excited when I learned about it and intended to use it to break up same day, smaller projects - which can seem insurmountable especially when there are a lot of them. It COULD potentially become a type of assistive tech for folks who are neurodiverse like me and have difficulty "chunking", which is what this is doing. Additionally, I could see a teacher using this to help students who need help chunking as well.

@jgidseg I see, that makes sense. Could I ask for one more thing? Just so I can understand what this feature would look like, could you give me some examples? There's a contact form on the site where you can reach me privately. https://get-thrive.app

For the past few months I've been working on a productivity app that I hope will help solve some the issues that prevent us from achieving our biggest goals: • tackle your most ambitious goals Make your goals seem less monumental and vague by thinking of the steps required to achieve them and working on one at a time. • save and organise ideas Save all your big ideas and quick thoughts throughout the day. • visualise your hardest decisions Make big decisions more manageable by visualising the impact of each option on the parts of your life you care most about. You can also use it to take notes, get automatic stats on your progress and more. I would love to know what you think and I plan on continuing to develop this based on the feedback I receive. I've already saved all the feedback shared as comments and there's also feedback board here: https://thrive.feedbear.com/boar... (FeedBear are a great product for making feedback boards)
