How Glide works
Glide keeps what you need to do in one place and shows you the next step, so less of your attention goes to remembering and deciding.
What’s in it
- Today: the next thing to do, today’s tasks, the week so far, and your goals.
- Tasks: single actions, with an optional due date.
- Routines: steps you repeat on a schedule, with numbers to record and questions to answer.
- Focus: a timer whose chimes keep time for you.
- Goals: an outcome with an end date and one number that measures it.
- Journal: what happened each day and how it felt.
Less to hold in your head
Anything you’re trying to remember competes for your attention and keeps a low level of worry running. Writing it down once, in one place you trust, ends that. Glide is built so that place is quick to add to and easy to check.
Things you can’t act on yet can leave your view without being lost: give a task a later date, move it to tomorrow, or stash it for a few days.
Fewer decisions
Today puts one suggestion at the top: your first unfinished routine, or your first open task. Routines list the same steps every day, so a morning doesn’t start with planning the morning.
Time you don’t have to watch
The focus timer chimes at intervals and at the end. You can work, or rest, without checking the clock.
What Glide leaves out
No subtasks, projects, tags or filters. No streaks, badges or red marks, and no notifications asking you to open the app. Progress is shown as it is, never graded. Each of these is a deliberate choice: every extra feature is something more to manage.
Your data
Everything is stored on your phone. There’s no account, no ads and no tracking. If you want your data on more than one device, sync encrypts it on your phone before it goes to your own Google Drive.
