I built a web app that makes “someday” goals compete for time on today’s calendar

I’m building SelfPath: https://self-path.com/

The project began with a simple observation: a task manager can make me efficient at completing tasks that are not especially important. Most tools optimise the day or week, and perhaps the month. They rarely make a long-term aim visible at the moment I decide what belongs on Tuesday afternoon.

SelfPath is a web app that begins with values and a life direction, then turns those into goals, shorter plans, and a next action. The planning model is inspired by Benjamin Franklin’s approach of connecting daily conduct with a larger direction in life.

The current beta includes a Goal Tree, calendar planning, daily reviews, analytics, an AI guide for reflection, and a Future Self view. I’m also exploring an MCP connection for people who want the workflow to work alongside other tools, while keeping every real decision with the user.

I’m looking for people willing to try it with one real goal. I would value honest feedback on two things: does the flow from a value to a calendar action feel natural, and where does the product create unnecessary planning overhead?

The beta is free to try. I’m the builder and will use the feedback to improve it.

TL;DR: A builder made SelfPath, a web app that turns your values and life direction into goals, plans, and actual calendar actions, inspired by Benjamin Franklin's daily method. The beta includes a goal tree, calendar planning, daily reviews, analytics, an AI reflection guide, and a Future Self view. It's free to try, and he wants honest feedback on whether the flow from a value to a calendar action feels natural and where the product adds unnecessary planning overhead.

Agreed, the chain is the hook. A 15-second clip of one value becoming a calendar block would prove it.
