The name
ein
ein — one
ziel
ziel — goal
einziel means one goal.
In German, ein is one and Ziel is a goal. The name is the idea: pick the one goal that matters and then do it.
That idea comes from The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan. Extraordinary results come from a focusing question: what is the one thing you can do such that by doing it, everything else becomes easier or unnecessary?
einziel turns that question into a planner. Years, months, weeks and days are there so you can find today's one thing — and actually do it.
PLAN ON EVERY HORIZON
From "someday" to this Tuesday
Most apps give you a to-do list. einziel gives you a timeline. Organize goals by year, month, week or day, and zoom between them as your plans take shape.
Got a yearly goal you finally want to tackle? Drag it into March. An idea without a date yet? Park it in Unplanned, then drop it onto the calendar the moment it becomes real. Planning is as simple as drag and drop.

BIG GOALS, SMALL STEPS
Every big goal is just small goals, stacked
“Run a marathon” is not a task. It is a hundred training runs. In einziel, every goal can have a parent and children, so you can break big ambitions into concrete steps and always see how today's work connects to the bigger picture.
And when a goal is really just reps, use a countdown instead. Need to do 10 pushups? Create one goal, set the countdown to 10, and tick it down as you go. No clutter, no duplicate goals.

WORKS WITH YOUR AI
Chat with ChatGPT or Claude. About your goals.
einziel connects to ChatGPT and Claude via MCP. That means your AI assistant can actually see your goals, not just talk about productivity in the abstract.
Ask “What should I focus on this week?” and get an answer based on your real plan. Brainstorm a new project and have the AI create the goals for you. Review your month in a conversation instead of a spreadsheet. Your goals and your AI, finally in the same room.
