Your actions stay private unless you choose a shared action or wider audience.

Manage today’s actions, practices, goals, and focus.

Open Act or choose a task below.

• Action chooser: Choose task, habit, or goal.
• Tasks: Create or finish a task.
• Goals: Create or achieve a goal.
• Habits: Pause, retire, or resume a practice.
• Focus: Start a focus timer.
• Action templates: Use a ready-made starter.
• Practices and grocery lists: Reuse recipes and build a shopping list.
• Your own templates: Make a reusable template.
• Assign a chore: Share household work.
• Exercise logs: Record exercise sets.

Where the newer Act experience is enabled, Hub shows today, Month shows the calendar, Practices groups habits and chores, and Projects holds goals and other work. Templates holds reusable starters. If those controls are absent, use the tasks, habits, goals, and focus controls shown in your current app. The linked guides explain the alternatives.

An action’s life area and ring are editable attribution, not determined by its menu. Act ring credit explains recorded evidence.
