Daily Goal helps you stay focused by highlighting one clear intention each day. It sits at the center of your dashboard every time you open a new tab, reminding you to prioritize what matters most, whether that's a big milestone or a simple task. It resets each day so you always start fresh.
💡 Why it helps: The internet is full of distractions. Daily Goal gives you a quick moment to pause and refocus every time you open a new tab, so it's easier to stay on track and avoid getting lost in the noise.
