Lifetick

What Lifetick is

Lifetick helps people set and track goals using the S.M.A.R.T. methodology, with options to connect goals to personal core values. Users can organize progress with due dates, reminders, repeating tasks, subtasks, notes and flexible scheduling. They can share goals, assign tasks and invite supporters to view goals and encourage progress. A journal records thoughts and goal or task activity. Tracking covers descriptive, financial, numerical, binary and count metrics, with charts and CSV export. Users can subscribe to their Lifetick calendar in applications such as iCal or Google Calendar, though calendar entries are view-only. The service is available on the web and iOS. Its free plan allows two S.M.A.R.T. goals but excludes subtasks, financial goals and personalized trackers. The Premium Plan is $29 a year and includes unlimited S.M.A.R.T. goals, subtasks, financial goals and personalized trackers. Organization plans have user minimums: Essentials requires five users, while Professional requires 100. Lifetick was first created in 2008 and describes its home as Australia.
