Why we built Lima

The problem we kept hitting

A task app knows what you have to do today but nothing about where you are heading. A goal tracker knows the destination but never the work. A habit app runs in its own corner, disconnected from both. So you end up maintaining three systems that disagree with each other, and the maintenance becomes the work.

What we think is true

• Goals only mean something if they touch today. A goal that never turns into a task on a Tuesday is a wish.
• Streaks should survive a bad week. Systems that punish you for one missed day get abandoned in month two.
• The tool should do the sorting. Capturing should be instant and thoughtless; organising is the computer's job.
• Your data is yours. Export is a right, not a retention lever. Cancelling drops you to Free — it never locks you out of your own history.

What Lima does about it

Areas, projects, tasks, habits and goals live in one hierarchy, so progress at the bottom is visible at the top. Lima AI reads that whole picture — plus your calendar and deadlines — and builds a plan for the day that is actually achievable, then explains why it dropped what it dropped.

Where we are

Lima is a small team building in the open. If something is broken or missing, telling us tends to work — most of what shipped this year came from user email rather than a roadmap.
