Goal Tracking from Lifetime to Monday
Most to-do apps make you productive at whatever happens to be in front of you. Onyx adds the missing layer: life goals with milestones and time horizons that connect your daily tasks to the person you're trying to become.

The bridge between vision and to-do list
The failure mode of ambitious people isn't laziness — it's disconnection. The five-year vision lives in your head, the to-do list lives in an app, and nothing ties one to the other. Onyx's hierarchical goals close that gap: every lifetime ambition decomposes into milestones, and milestones show up where you plan your daily tasks.
For the mindset side, the built-in Playbook offers curated mental models and decision-making techniques — and the Atrium memory system helps you retain what you learn along the way. It's a complete system for becoming the most productive version of yourself. See how it fits together in our guide to building a personal productivity system.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Onyx's goal tracking different from a habit tracker?
Habit trackers count streaks; goal tracking plans outcomes. Onyx models goals hierarchically — a lifetime vision breaks into multi-year goals, yearly targets, and monthly milestones — and then connects them to the daily tasks that move them. Habits are one tool; direction is the point.
What are time horizons in Onyx?
Every goal lives at a horizon: lifetime, long-term, yearly, quarterly, or monthly. That structure lets you zoom out to check direction and zoom in to decide what this month — and today — should be about.
Can I track personal life goals, not just work goals?
Yes — vision areas exist precisely for that. Health, relationships, finances, learning, career: each area holds its own goals and milestones, so your system reflects your whole life rather than only your job.
Do goals connect to my tasks?
Yes. Because Onyx is one workspace, goals sit beside your task manager, kanban boards, and notes — so a goal's milestones can drive what appears on today's list.
