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 into Performance and the weekly review
The Timer module in the Shale app.

02

Goals

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

  • Ordered phases, and every line says where its percentage comes from
  • A step moves forward through the items done, or through a number to reach — 50 sessions, $10,000
  • A goal that drifts is flagged in the calendar

03

Performance

Task completion, focus time held, goal progress — over 7 days, 30 days, 3 months or 6 months, compared with the period before. No leaderboard, no user averages.

  • Current streaks and streak history
  • Over 7 days, 30 days, 3 or 6 months
  • No comparison with other users
