Why Traditional Goal Trackers Don’t Help
Almost everyone has a list of goals: learn a language, start painting, launch a project, or get healthier. But after a couple of weeks, motivation fades, reminders become annoying, and the tracker turns into just another forgotten icon on your screen.
The reasons are well-known:
- Vague or unrealistic goals: They lack a clear roadmap.
- Ignoring reality: Plans don't account for actual busyness or exhaustion.
- No emotional connection: It’s just dry checkboxes and cold graphs.
- The "lonely battle": You feel like you're struggling all by yourself.
Slarti was created specifically to solve these problems. Our mission isn't just to "log" a goal, but to help you reach the finish line by supporting you at every step.
What Slarti Actually Is
Slarti isn’t just another app. It’s a social and emotional assistant—an alien entity living inside your phone that literally feeds on your completed tasks.
Key Ideas Behind Slarti:
- Social Goal Tracker: You aren’t alone. You can share progress, participate in challenges, compete, and support others.
- Emotional Companion: Slarti reacts to your actions. He cheers when you move forward, gets sad if you’re stuck, and gently nudges you back into the game.
- Smart Planning: The app adapts to your actual schedule rather than piling on unrealistic demands.
Our goal is for the phrase "Slarti goal tracker app" to be associated not with a boring to-do list, but with a living, breathing companion.
How Slarti Works
Slarti is built around a simple yet powerful workflow:
- Formulate Your Goal For example: "I want to paint my first oil painting" or "I want to speak English confidently in 6 months."
- Slarti Asks Clarifying Questions The assistant helps turn a vague desire into a clear SMART+ goal. He clarifies the desired result, deadlines, frequency, available time, motivation, and potential obstacles.
- Breaking Down into Actionable Steps Based on your answers, Slarti divides the goal into:
- Mini-steps: Tasks that take 15–30 minutes.
- Regular habits.
- Progress milestones.
- Accounting for Your Real Time You specify when you are usually free. Slarti uses this to realistically distribute tasks across your calendar. Instead of "do this every day," you get a plan that actually fits into your life.
- Daily and Weekly Reflection Slarti helps you summarize: what worked, what’s blocking you, and what can be simplified. This isn't dry statistics; it's a dialogue with your alien partner.
Virtual Pet Mechanics
One of our core features is the "Tamagotchi-style" mechanic: a digital companion that thrives on your productivity.
- Growth: As you complete tasks and move toward goals, Slarti gains energy, glows, grows, and unlocks new animations and reactions.
- Empathy: If you disappear for a long time or constantly postpone tasks, Slarti becomes sad and weak. He will eventually suggest returning in a "safe format"—starting with a tiny micro-task or a simplified plan.
- Gamification: The app features XP, levels, achievements, and visual rewards so you can feel your progress even when the ultimate goal is still far away.
The Social Dimension
Community is a fundamental element of Slarti. In our roadmap and early versions, we are including:
- Joint Challenges: You and your friends set a goal and pursue it in parallel.
- Leaderboards: Friendly competition based on streaks and daily task completion.
- Support & Comments: The ability to share small wins and failures so you don't have to carry the weight alone.
We see goals as an adventure: every goal is a route with a specific direction, clear steps, and a firm deadline. Slarti’s job is to map that route and walk it with you.
