Features 02 — Move forward and measure

Measure yourself on behaviour, not outcome.

The outcome depends on a thousand things outside your control. Behaviour doesn't. These three modules look at what you do, day after day — never compared with anyone else.

01

Timer

Focus sessions and a timer. Time spent logs itself: nothing to write down at the end, the record already exists.

  • Presets or a custom duration, and a full-screen mode
  • Time is attached to the current task
  • The day's total goes to performance and the journal
The Timer module in the Shale app.

02

Goals

A goal breaks down into milestones, then sub-goals. Its progress is never entered by hand: it is deduced from what is actually done — tasks ticked, appointments kept, numbers reached.

  • Ordered milestones, and every line says where its percentage comes from
  • A step moves forward through the items done, or through a number to reach — 50 backtests, $10,000
  • A goal that drifts is flagged in the calendar
The Goals module in the Shale app.

03

Performance

Task completion, focus time held, goal progress — by day, week or month. No leaderboard, no user averages.

  • Current streaks and streak history
  • Day, week or month view
  • No comparison with other users
The Performance module in the Shale app.
