Hey, Product Hunt! I’m jumping in here to say our team couldn’t be more excited about our Product Hunt launch today. We built Momentum out of a desire to help folks focus on what matters and set better boundaries. Life is moving at a pace that makes it difficult to keep up. External demands frequently outpace our internal sense of direction. 🧭 Nudges and visual cues in Momentum remind you to shoot your shot, move your priorities forward, and chunk projects down. It guides you to focus attention on what matters by turning big-picture goals into actionable tasks. And it helps you shift perspective so that you get the right amount of clarity of purpose or clarity of action that you need in the moment. 🎯 Hustle is no longer needed if you’re planning right. Your life and personal goals need to be on your schedule. Period. In building Momentum we were thinking: “Based on how humans are, how do we make it easier to make conscious choices to help us thrive?” Our answer was to bridge the gap between what we know we should do and what we actually do with our time. Underneath the hood of Momentum is a lot of application of the best insights and practices from behavioral economics, positive psychology, habit formation science, and productivity. We have plans to build machine learning into Momentum, too, so that it can better spot your patterns and usage so that you can plan, do, and be better — “better” based upon what that means to you, not us or anyone else. We’re offering folks who sign up via Product Hunt our standard 30-day free trial, plus a 20% discount on your monthly or annual subscription for the first year. Your monthly payment will be $8/mo rather than $10/ mo, for a total annual savings of $96 in the first year (versus $120). If you choose an annual subscription, that’s $80 for the first year, or $20 off the usual $100 annual rate. (After the first year at the discounted rate, your subscription will convert automatically to the standard $10/mo or $100/year.) 🤓 We’re excited to see your feedback — as well as any input or support to help us keep improving —- and seeing more people ready to make the life-changing decision to commit to their projects. Thanks for joining the nearly 1,000 customers we already have and helping us build Momentum together!

@charliegilkey I'm so proud to be part of the team that is bringing this to the world. We've gotten momentum on Momentum from our wonderful community at Productive Flourishing (where Momentum started) and we're honored to be able to bring it to Product Hunt and get to know this community here even more. One of the things I love the most about our lovingly created product is that it works so well for someone like me who identifies as neurodiverse (I have a history of TBIs that have impacted cognition). It helps keep me calm and focused on the things that truly matter. You gotta love it when your own product helps you. :-) A really big THANK YOU to everyone here on PH for your support. <3

Love Momentum -- been using it since the beta. It keeps me on track with what I already promised myself I would be doing, instead of the thing my brain thinks I *should* be doing right in the moment. It helps me plan out quarterly projects and then break those down into monthly projects and in turn break those down into things I'm going to get done during the week, which is my planning comfort zone.

@rukristin_feminist_scrapbooker Really love hearing this kind of feedback — especially since you’ve been with us on this journey from the start. It’s great to get specific stories about how the app works for you, and which planning horizon is your jam! We’re also big fans of the Weekly planner as a starting point :-)

@rukristin_feminist_scrapbooker Thank you for the shout out and support! Are you in my brain?! LOL. When you said "what my brain thinks I *should* be doing right in the moment" I chuckled, because this is such an apt description for me, as well, and when I know I definitely need to be following my Momentum plan. We really appreciate you being with us throughout the beta and beyond. :-)

@rukristin_feminist_scrapbooker Hey Kristin! Back in the old days, I used to call a benefit of the Momentum Planning Method 'strategic presence': because you planned ahead, you could be in *this* moment and knew that if something came up, there was another moment for it. Your "It keeps me on track with what I already promised myself I would be doing, instead of the thing my brain thinks I *should* be doing right in the moment" captures the sentiment of strategic presence. I stopped using it because it was unnecessary for most learners, but you've been with us for a while so I'll cheat and use it with you. :)

@rukristin_feminist_scrapbooker I'm with you - I love how the different time horizons help us stay on track and not get diverted by the "shoulds"!! As we've both heard @charliegilkey say countless times — when you need clarity of purpose shift up (to find the why) and for clarity of action (the how) shift down. Having line of sight into both the next highest time horizon and the next lowest in Momentum helps us stay in the here and now. I can't wait to see where the momentum you've created takes you next!

One of the amazing things about Momentum is that we’ve been able to build it with our community. From all the feedback we’ve used to refine the physical planners and the method over the years, to the Kickstarter in January, to the beta release and feedback this spring, our community has continually stepped up and offered feedback and suggestions, many of which we’ve already incorporated into the Momentum you see today. And there are still more features we can’t wait to build into Momentum (for our user community, of course, and selfishly, because we want them, too!). Here’s a taste of some of the features we’re considering for future releases: * Recurring events: this is our next big feature release; supporting recurring events and other actionables (like routine tasks) in the app. Enter it once, set the recurrence, and it appears every day or week or third Tuesday of the month. * Calendar sync: we’ve already implemented version 1 of calendar sync with Google Calendar. We plan to do the same with Outlook and iCal. * Planning workspace: a separate area (think mind map, but for Momentum Planning) for planning your best-work project, through all its time horizons, and either top down or bottom up. Once you have it exactly how you like it, one click populates it to your planner/dashboard pages. (And once there, our current drag-and-drop, defer, and archive features make it easy to update parts of the project when plans inevitably change.) * Integrated onboarding: a step-by-step walkthrough of how to create your first project and see how easy that is to do in Momentum. This is the first step toward building full machine learning into the app, where it can identify patterns in how you use the app and how you plan, and make suggestions that help you improve. The next level of “productivity coach in your pocket.” * Energy levels: We know that time is only one factor in creating your ideal schedule. We plan to add the ability to assign energy levels to events/tasks/project chunks, to help you indicate which of them require significant energy or attention, so you can plan those things when you have significant energy, and can plan recovery blocks around them when you need to. These are just a few of the more significant features we’re excited to build into Momentum. We’re also doing regular smaller releases to squash bugs and add other requested features, (like the upcoming “duplicate” function we’re releasing very soon). Your turn, Product Hunt! Please let us know: * Which of the features above are most important and/or exciting to you? * What are some other features on your “planner wish list” you’d like to see Momentum include? Your answers will help us continue to build the app that’s most useful to you.

@charliegilkey Yippee! Thank you for sharing what's on our roadmap. I'm personally incredibly excited about the machine learning we have on deck and our upcoming features around energy levels, because I know how different my energy is throughout the days and weeks and will help me with my planning, making sure I'm taking full advantage of my peak times and looking out for myself when I know my energy might not be so great. I'd love to hear what others are looking forward to or want to see!

@charliegilkey Sweet share Charlie! I am super excited for our future features and am looking most forward to the planning space and energy levels functions. Those two combined are going to make it easier to assess what needs to be done and when and use my TEA (Time, Energy and Attention) wisely.

I'm a bit of a productivity geek, and like many of us, have rotated through many planning & task management apps. One of the things that often sees me swing from one app to the next is the level of complexity. Sometimes my projects and work need a high degree of granular planning and tracking, and sometimes I need something much simpler to keep my mind clear. Momentum is definitely on the more complex & highly structured end of things, and so if you are a person who prefers extreme minimalism or are just in a phase of your work where structure is more of a hindrance than a help, then this app might not be your speed at the moment. On the other hand, if you are amid a complex enterprise, responsible for many deadlines, or are just a person who prefers to have clear and structured guidance for your day-to-day work, I don't think there's another app with more to recommend it than this one. From the earliest stages, the team has centered creating something unique that supports the philosophy that Charlie Gilkey & Productive Flourishing have discussed in their work. This isn't just a cookie cutter app that provides a slightly different UI to essentially the same feature set. It keeps you away from the mindless management of one urgent or poorly planned task after another that can become common when things are intense. Its structure forces you to carefully consider how much you can do - and what the costs are of adding "just one more thing" into an already crammed day. Anyway - while I will doubtless still use some more unstructured and flexible solutions for the work and the times of my life that warrant it (Things is my favorite), Momentum is my go-to for high level projects, intense times & any time I just crave a more structured approach to how I spend my time.

This is such a great review, Eric! Your point about where Momentum exists in the complexity/simplicity spectrum is dead-on; we don't need another to-do list tool because there are so many great ones already that I also use and recommend. (Note: future versions of Momentum will have a digital analog of our Action Item Catcher to do a lot of this week, but it wasn't where we wanted to start.) When a simple to-do app isn't enough, Momentum has your back. :)

Eric! You captured Momentum so well! This in particular hit home for me "It keeps you away from the mindless management of one urgent or poorly planned task after another that can become common when things are intense. Its structure forces you to carefully consider how much you can do - and what the costs are of adding "just one more thing" into an already crammed day." - Momentum is not just about organizing "All.The.Things" but really has you thinking critically about what and why you're taking things on. Thanks for all your support - glad to have you as part of the community!

It has been a game changer for me! The Momentum app has enabled me to break down several complex, long term projects with diverse needs into manageable chunks and goals. The ability to navigate between annual, quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily goals and tasks helps me stay on track and making progress without feeling overwhelmed. The integration with Google Calendar has made it very easy to manage my project planning around my daily work schedule and demands. The support team has been very helpful and highly receptive to feedback to offer users continuous improvement with the goal of providing an easy to use productivity driven product.
