"MileStone connects three things most apps treat separately: long-term goals, the milestones that break them down, and the daily habits that hit them."
One app that knows whether you're actually on track — not just whether you ticked boxes.
The actual app screens — habits, goals, milestones, performance and the honest no-shame view of a slip. Swipe through.
"Hours-weighted pacing is a progress score that weights each task by your estimated time — not by task count."
Most apps say you're 60% done when you've ticked 6 of 10 tasks. But if the 4 remaining tasks are the hard 10-hour ones, you're nowhere near 60%. MileStone scores by hours, not ticks — so the number tells you the truth even when you'd rather it didn't.
You ticked the six easy ones. The four monsters are still waiting. This number is lying to you.
Same goal, honest math. Uncomfortable today — but it's the number that gets you to the finish line.
Real example: "Launch my cafe" — 10 steps, 50 hours. You've done the six quick ones (16 hours). A task-count app celebrates 60%; hours-weighted pacing says 32%, because the fit-out and hiring are the mountain.
Because they each do half the job. Habit apps never look up from today; Notion makes you build the system yourself. And when you slip, most of them make you feel like garbage.

Illustrative examples — not real customer testimonials.
"I described my Q3 goals to Claude by voice, pasted the reply into MileStone, previewed the plan and imported it in one tap — milestones, steps, hours and resources, all structured. That took 4 minutes. My old Notion setup took 4 hours."
"Day 1 vs Day 30. I still haven't finished all my steps. But I open the app every morning and it shows me exactly what to work on next. When I missed a Tuesday it just showed a quiet 💤 — no red cross, my streak stayed safe, and I kept going. That's new for me."
One honest caveat: MileStone needs a connection to open — the app itself loads from the web. Once it's loaded, everything you do stays on your device.
Goal planning powered by the AI you already use. Describe your goal in plain language to ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, paste the reply back into MileStone — it imports as milestones, steps, hour estimates and resources. Your data never touches our servers.
One button inside the app. The full goal-planning instruction is pre-written for you.
Speak naturally to Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. It asks a few clarifying questions, then structures everything.
MileStone shows you the plan before committing. Nothing is deleted, nothing leaves your device.
Three goals, three habits, three milestones each — free, forever, no account. If it clicks, Pro is one honest price away.
