Accomplish more by doing less.
Rank your five actions. RACE shows you three. The rest stay hidden until those are done — and a weekly accountability partner sees whether they were.
Your to-do list was never the problem. The problem is that nobody ever asked you whether you did it.
Seven minutes in the morning. One check-in at night.
Write down five
Whatever actually fits in the day. Personal and work kept separate.
Rank them
Your top three become today. The rest wait their turn instead of haunting you.
Run the clock
Start a focus session on any action, with ambient sound if it helps.
Close the day
A short private review — and your group sees whether the boxes got checked.
You never see more than three.
You can load up to five actions. Then you rank them, and RACE hides everything past the top three. Finish one and the next reveals itself. What's hidden is the feature — you can't triage a list you can't see. Anything unfinished from yesterday surfaces first: complete it, reschedule it, hand it off, or let it go.
- ›Rank five, work three, reveal the rest as you go
- ›Unfinished actions never silently disappear
- ›Separate Personal and Work lanes
Your partner sees the boxes.
Invite one person or a small circle. Each member's actions and habit check-ins appear side by side, updating as the day goes. You choose exactly what you share — habits, personal goal, work goal — and everything else stays private.
Nobody wants to be the row of empty checkboxes on Thursday. That's the whole mechanism.
The week you actually had.
Not a vanity dashboard. A record you can open before your next check-in and know exactly what to talk about — your completion trend, your group's participation, and the habits you said you'd keep.
Habits are tracked separately from actions, because they work differently. An action gets done once. A habit only counts if it keeps happening — so RACE tracks the streak, shows you the days you kept it, and shows you the days you didn't.
- ›Daily habit streaks, kept separate from your three actions
- ›Completion trend over time, not just today
- ›Group participation alongside your own
A parking lot for everything you're not doing yet.
Every goal you've thought about goes in as a Future goal and waits there. Nothing is lost, and nothing is competing for your attention either. When you're ready, you promote one to a Now Goal — and only then does it get to touch your day.
A Now Goal gets broken down with the RACE formula: an End Point you can name, Checkpoints that split the distance into phases, and Action Steps small enough to actually start. Add any step to today with one tap, whenever you're ready to run at it.
- ›Future goals park until you promote them
- ›Phases and steps, not one impossible line item
- ›Separate Personal and Work goals
Close the day honestly. Nobody's grading it.
At night, a short private reflection: what worked, where you slipped, what's next. It's yours alone unless you choose to bring it to a call — which is exactly why people tell it the truth.
Can't reach your accountability partner? Review the day with the RACE Accountability Coach built into the app. It's there to witness, not to police — it asks what happened and reflects it back, so you leave the review clearer instead of defensive.
- ›Private by default — shared only if you share it
- ›An AI coach for the nights your partner isn't there
- ›Witness, don't police
RACE isn't a productivity opinion. It's four decades of behavioral science packed into a closed productivity loop.
Write the goal down. Break it into checkpoints. Report to a real person every week. Each step is separately evidenced — the app is what makes doing all three sustainable.
Dr. Gail Matthews, Dominican University of California — 267 professionals across five conditions, 149 completing the multi-week study.
Writing goals down alone lifted completion 42% over unwritten intentions. Adding a weekly accountability cadence took it to 76% — roughly a 3.2× higher success probability than the average adult. (Matthews also audited the famous "3% of Harvard MBAs" story and found it apocryphal. We'd rather cite the real study.)
Locke & Latham's Goal-Setting Theory — over 400 studies — found performance scales with goal difficulty right up to the edge of capability. Vague targets don't direct attention; specific ones do.
Sweller's Cognitive Load Theory shows monolithic goals cause paralysis and procrastination. Amabile's Progress Principle found tracking small daily wins is the single strongest driver of motivation and velocity.
Sophie Leroy's attention-residue research: part of your focus stays stuck on the last unfinished task. Thirty seconds noting where you stopped offloads the open loop and restores working memory.
Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory ranks mastery experiences — actual completed actions — as the most powerful source of self-efficacy. Reviewing what you finished isn't bookkeeping; it's the mechanism.
What members are saying
“I love this app. I use it every day.”
“I like using AI as an assistant. So, having AI as a coach to review my day makes this better than any other productivity app I’ve seen.”
“This is the app I didn’t know I needed.”
Everything, from day one.
No feature gates during the trial and none after. Every plan is the whole app — the only difference is how you pay for it.
Choose your plan
Everyone starts with a 14-day free trial. Pick a plan when it ends — not before.
The trial is the whole app: actions, habits, focus timer, groups, stats and reviews. No card up front. Cancel anytime.
Questions
Do I need a partner to use it?
No. RACE works solo — actions, habits, focus timer, stats, reviews. The group layer is there when you want someone watching. And the RACE Accountability Coach is there when you want it.
What does my group actually see?
Only what you switch on: habits, your personal goal and actions, your work goal and actions. Daily reviews are always private.
Is there an iPhone or Android app?
RACE runs in your browser and installs to your home screen on both iPhone and Android — same app, no store required.
Why only three actions?
Because a list of thirty is a way of avoiding the three that matter. The cap forces the choice, and the ranking makes it public to your partner.
How soon can I start using it?
Right away. Sign up and your 14-day trial begins immediately with every feature unlocked — no card, no waiting, nothing to install.
Can I use RACE on more than one device?
Yes. Sign in on your phone, your laptop, your work machine — anywhere you like. It's the same account and the same data everywhere.
What happens when the trial ends?
You pick a plan, or you don't. Nothing is charged automatically, and your goals and history are waiting for you if you come back later.
Do I have to turn on notifications?
No. Reminders for your actions, habits and daily review are opt-in, and you can switch them off any time without losing anything else.
