Progress Lifts

If you've ever dropped a to‑do app because it became a chore, Progress Lifts is the antidote. Gamified, conventional automatized TODO handling like texting, satisfying and private.

Why Progress Lifts?

Progress Lifts is the productivity tool for people who hate productivity tools.

No clutter. No planning overhead. Just type what you did or will do next and press Enter — the app handles the rest. Every entry is logged, XP is awarded, and you get a sharp, actionable next step from an LLM you control.

The magic:

• Game‑like momentum: visible XP, progress animations, streaks.
• Privacy by design: all history, stats, and settings stay on your device.
• Only one connection: to the LLM you choose (BYOK OpenAI).
• Zero busywork: no grooming lists or shuffling boards.

Capture → Nudge → Do → Reward → Reflect → Repeat

The result: compounding progress without project management ceremony.
