One person, three threads.
Meet Owen. He's got three life areas he named himself — none of them handed to him by a template. Here's the full chain for each: a vision anchored to a year, cut down to a yearly goal, a monthly goal, a weekly goal, and today's action.
Owen Marsh, 41. Runs trails on weekday mornings, builds furniture in his garage on weekends, and has two kids he'd like to actually see this year. His three life areas: Running, Woodshop, and Family.
Running
Finish a 50-mile trail ultra without walking any of the climbs.
Finish a 50-kilometer trail race and hold weekly mileage above 30 miles by December.
Run four back-to-back long days to build climbing endurance.
One 12-mile trail run with at least 2,000 feet of climbing.
40-minute easy run before work, to keep the legs fresh for Saturday's long day.
Woodshop
Woodshop covers its own tool and material costs from commissioned pieces.
Sell three commissioned pieces and build a simple portfolio site.
Finish and deliver the walnut dining table for the Alvarez family.
Sand and apply the first coat of finish to the tabletop.
90 minutes in the garage: hand-sand the tabletop to 220 grit.
Family
His kids describe him as someone who's around, not just present.
Eat dinner together, no phones, at least five nights a week — and keep it up.
Plan and take one full weekend day with no work and no woodshop.
Take the kids to the lake on Saturday — plan it Wednesday so it actually happens.
Send the lake day plan to the family group chat before dinner.
What Owen actually sees
Four screens, built from the same threads above: his Today list, one area zoomed all the way in, the thread that connects it to a vision years out, and all three areas side by side.
Today
Owen's day, all three areas in one list. Each row carries its area's ring — showing how that thread is tracking this week — next to the one action due today. This is the real Today screen, running live off the fictional data below — check something off and the ring actually moves.
Detail
One area, zoomed all the way in. Owen picked Running — tap a pill to jump between the vision, this year, this month, this week, and today; the ring and everything below it updates for real.
Thread
The spine connecting one action to the vision it serves. Owen followed Woodshop's thread here — five points, one line, running from tonight's sanding back to a business that pays for itself. Tap "+ details" on any level to expand it.
Bird's Eye
All three of Owen's areas at once, each with its own color and its own progress bar. No single area crowds out the others — this is the screen for checking whether life as a whole is moving, not just one thread of it.
These four panels run the app's real screen components client-side against a fictional dataset — nothing here talks to a server.
