Your life is bigger than your calendar.
Plan your life before you plan your day.
LongView turns long-term goals into projects, plans, timelines and actionable work — so your calendar becomes the result of your priorities, not the place where priorities get lost.
- Local-first
- Works offline
- Built for long-term thinking
Explore it yourself. Switch views, pick a plan, tick off subtasks. Changes stay in this tab only.
Projects
Most tools start at the bottom. LongView starts at the top.
A calendar answers when. Before that, you need to know what deserves your time, why it matters and what comes next. LongView connects every layer — so the calendar becomes the last step, not the first.
Your calendar is where time goes. LongView is where direction begins.
- LongView starts hereLife & goalsWhere you want to go
- ProjectsThe big efforts that get you there
- CategoriesAreas like career, health or learning

A calendar can schedule your life. It can't design it.

LongView decides the direction. Your calendar can handle the appointment.
Wanting something isn't the same as planning it.
Decades of research keep finding the same pattern: good intentions are common, follow-through is hard, and plans that spell out what, when and how do better.

47%
Of people who intend to act don't follow through

Independent tests show that deciding when, where and how helps you reach goals

On average, to get back to interrupted work
People usually handled about two other tasks before returning. When a task stays inside its plan, it's easier to pick up where you left off.
These figures come from published studies of specific groups of people. They describe common patterns, not every person.
That gap between intention and action is what LongView is designed for: turn what you want into dated plans and next actions, and keep unfinished work in view.

Life changed. Your plan didn't disappear.
In a calendar, a missed Tuesday becomes forgotten history. In LongView, unfinished work stays inside its plan — with its status, progress and place in the bigger goal.
- Unfinished work stays visible until you finish it.
- New dates keep the task connected to its project.
- Overdue work shows up in Insights instead of disappearing.
