Griply vs Intend

Griply

• People who plan from long-term goals down to daily tasks
• Keeping habits, tasks and goals in a single app
• Weekly planning with time blocks next to calendar events

Intend

• People who want daily to-dos tied to a few long-term goals
• Those who prefer a fresh list each day to a growing backlog
• Remote workers who want an accountability partner

Griply

• The free plan is limited to 2 goals, 2 habits, 5 projects and 3 smart lists.
• Calendar and time blocking, subgoals, the goal timeline and habit targets are Premium features.
• The pricing page says prices go up on Oct 12, so the figures here may change soon after the check date.
• The Android app is described as a public beta.

Intend

• There is no free plan: after the two-week trial it costs $12 a month, or $120 a year.
• There is no native app. The vendor recommends desktop use; on a phone it runs in the browser and can be added to the home screen.
• Goals are capped at 10 active at a time.
• It is a one-person company, and its founder said in January 2025 that the app is no longer his primary focus, though it will keep running.

Griply

Life areas and vision

Write a vision for each area of your life and file goals under it. The free plan has 9 life areas; custom life areas need Premium.

Goals with subgoals and metrics

A goal is built from subgoals, projects, tasks and habits and measured with success metrics. Subgoals and the goal timeline are Premium features.

Habit tracker

Habits are connected to the goals they support, with statistics and reminders on every plan. Habit targets are part of Premium.

Tasks and projects

Tasks can be tied to a goal or stand alone, grouped into projects and filtered with smart lists: 3 on the free plan, unlimited on Premium.

Calendar and time blocking

Day, week and month calendar views show Google Calendar and Outlook events beside focus blocks. Time blocking and two-way calendar sync need Premium.

Goals and habit dashboard

Premium adds a dashboard that tracks progress on goals and habits over time.

Intend

Goals come first

Up to 10 goals can be active at once. Each has its own color, one top priority that stays in view while planning the day, and a setting for who can see it.

A new Today page every day

Each day starts with a blank list of intentions, each tagged with the goal it serves. Anything left undone does not carry over to the next day by itself.

Outcomes and not-dones

At the end of the day you record what was done toward each goal and whether it was enough. Undone items from the last 3 days can be picked up again by choice.

Pomodoro and hourglass timers

The Pomodoro timer has custom work and break lengths, and finished blocks are assigned to intentions. The hourglass timer can be paused or adjusted midway.

Reviews

Weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly reviews are split into a section for each goal and come with preset questions that can be replaced with your own.

Accountability partners and coworking

Linked accounts see each other's intentions and get daily email updates. Coworking rooms share a synchronized Pomodoro clock and chat, and need no Intend account.
