About crestlume

crestlume is a free life tracker that works like a game, made to turn what you dream about into what you do today. It breaks a big goal into a plan, stages and tasks small enough to start today, and every finished task earns XP and moves the goal forward. It runs in the browser, on macOS, Windows and Linux, and on Android.

Dreams, broken down

Most dreams stay dreams because they are too big to start. crestlume makes the first step obvious: a goal with a finish line and a date, split into stages that each end in a visible result, and each stage split into tasks for single days. When you create a goal, a short goal check tells you what would make it sharper. As tasks get done, progress flows up into the stage and the goal, so you watch the dream get closer instead of hoping it does. Features explains goal breakdown in detail.

What crestlume does

• Tasks with a difficulty from Trivial to Epic. Harder tasks earn more XP and coins.
• Goals split into a plan, stages and tasks, so finishing a small task moves the goal above it.
• Habits with daily or weekly streaks and records.
• Rewards you set for yourself and buy with the coins you earned.
• Schedule: drop tasks into the week, see the load, plan rest as rest.
• Stats: levels, ranks and streaks over time.
• Agent: an optional AI chat that reads your tasks, goals and habits and makes changes for you, like breaking a goal into tasks for next week.

Features lists everything, and How crestlume works walks through it with one example goal.

Who it is for

• People with a goal bigger than a to-do list, such as an exam, a race or a career change, who want to see each day move it forward.
• People who stay motivated when progress is visible: XP, levels, streaks and rewards they earned.
• People who want their plans private. crestlume works without an account and keeps your data on your device.
• People who switch between a laptop, a phone and the browser and want the same data everywhere.

Why it works this way

Most to-do apps forget what you did yesterday. crestlume keeps score, so the small things add up to something you can see.

• Progress flows upward. A task raises its stage, its plan and its goal. None of the structure is required: a single task with no goal above it is a fine way to use the app.
• Difficulty is personal. It is how much resistance a task costs you, not how hard it is in general.
• Rest is planned, not earned. A rest block is free and never has to be unlocked by finishing enough tasks.
• XP never goes down. XP is your history and decides your level. Coins are a balance you spend, and optional penalties touch only coins.

Private by design

crestlume is local-first: tasks, goals, habits and rewards live on your device and the app works fully offline. Sync between devices is optional. When you sync, every item is encrypted on your device before it is uploaded, and with Extra privacy only your passphrase can unlock it. There are no ads, no analytics in the app, and we do not sell your data. The Privacy Policy has the details.

Price

crestlume is in public beta and everything is free. See Pricing.
