Peakling

Climb your month, one step a day.

Set your goals for the month, then let a short daily plan carry you there, one kept day at a time.

How it works

Wednesday

Climbing

2 / 4
Tap the mountain, then tap a day. Tick a step, add one.

A day's steps on one phone, the month's mountain on the other. Tap a stone to open its day; tick a step and the stone fills.

How a month goes

  1. Name the summit

    Pick one to five goals for the month. Each step you add has to serve one of them.

  2. Plan the day, then protect it

    Write a short list for the day. Once the day starts, the list locks. You can still add a step after that, but it goes off the trail and earns no progress.

  3. Keep the day

    Finish every step you planned and the day counts. Leave one open and it does not.

A few things the app holds for you

  1. The plan locks when the day starts

    You choose when your day starts. From that hour, the list you wrote is set. You can still add a step, but it goes off the trail and earns no credit until the plan you made is done.

  2. Summited early? Pull forward

    Once today is done, tomorrow's steps show up. Pull one in and today is judged with it.

  3. Every step serves a goal

    You pick a goal for each step you add. There is no inbox and no someday list, so busywork has nowhere to sit.

  4. Leftovers carry over

    A step you left open yesterday joins today as a planned step. You climb it instead of losing it.

  5. Rest days cost nothing

    Plan nothing on a day and the app skips it. Only the days you planned get judged, so a weekend off does not break your count.

Four methods, one app to hold them

You have met these rules before, probably in a book you meant to apply. Each one is easy to write down and hard to keep on your own. Peakling keeps them for you.

The Ivy Lee method

Write tomorrow's list before the day starts, then work it in order.

You write tomorrow tonight. When your day starts, the list locks.

The 12 week year

Twelve weeks is long enough to finish something and short enough to feel the deadline.

Your streak counts days you kept, not tasks you ticked.

Objectives and key results

Name the objective first, then let the work answer to it.

Adding a step means choosing which goal it climbs.

Limit work in progress

Start fewer things and more of them finish.

One to five goals a month. Five steps is a full day.

Big goals move forward in small steps.

Know what matters this month and what to do today. Spend less time rethinking the plan and more time making progress.

Put your agent to work on your goals.

Break a big goal into doable steps. Plan the week ahead. Reflect on how far you have come. Give your agent access to your Peakling plan, and turn the conversation into action. You control what it can see and change.

Common questions

What is Peakling?

Peakling is a monthly goal planner. You set one to five goals for the month, write a short list of steps for each day, and finish that list to keep the day. Each step you add has to serve one of your goals. The month is a mountain with one stone per day, so you see the whole climb at a glance.

How is this different from a to-do list?

A to-do list grows faster than you clear it, and nothing on it answers to a goal. Peakling judges the day. Finish the few steps you planned and the day counts, leave one open and it does not. There is no inbox and no someday pile, because a step has to name the goal it serves before you can add it.

Why plan by the month?

A month is long enough to finish something real and short enough that the deadline stays in view. A year sits too far off to plan today against. You set the goals once a month, then climb them a day at a time.

What happens if I miss a day?

Peakling marks the day missed on the mountain and your run of kept days starts over. You lose nothing else. Any step you left open joins the next day as a planned step, so you climb it later instead of dropping it.

Can I add a task after my day has started?

Yes, but it goes off the trail. Once your day starts, the list you wrote locks, and anything you add after that earns no progress until you finish that list. You pick the hour your day begins, so set it after your usual bedtime and a late night still counts for the day before.

What about days off?

Plan nothing and Peakling skips the day instead of marking it missed. It judges only the days you planned, so a weekend or a week away costs you nothing and your run of kept days survives it.

Does Peakling work offline?

We are building Peakling for iOS and Android, with offline planning in mind. Downloads are not available yet.

Is Peakling free?

Peakling is still in development. We will share availability and pricing here before launch.

Can an AI agent or a script use my plan?

Yes. Peakling has an API that holds the same rules as the app, so one read returns the whole day: state, progress, steps and goals. You create and revoke your own keys in Settings.

In development for iOS and Android. Store links will appear here when Peakling is ready.
