About this app

A goal planner built around one framework: the 9x9 Mandal-Art grid.

Mandal-Art is a visual thinking method designed in Japan in 1987. You write one core goal in the center, split it into 8 sub-goals, and give each sub-goal 8 concrete actions. That leaves you with 64 actions you wrote yourself, all on one screen. There are no folders, tags or dashboards to set up. You fill in the grid and work from it.

WHY ONE FRAMEWORK
Most goal apps offer several systems at once (OKRs, SMART goals, bullet journals, habit trackers), so the first week goes into choosing one instead of working on the goal. Madarart skips that step. The grid is the system.

WHAT YOU GET
- Two templates: the 8x8 classic table and the standard 9x9 grid
- One core goal, 8 categories and 64 action cells
- Tap any cell to edit it in place, with a color for each block
- Pinch to zoom, pan freely, snap back with one tap, and jump between blocks with the 9-section minimap
- Your plan is saved on your device
- A progress bar that fills as you complete actions
- A career-focused starter template so you can begin right away
- A daily reminder at the time you choose, plus a check-in streak to keep the habit going
- Available in English, Korean, Japanese and Chinese

WHO IT'S FOR
- Students mapping out an admissions year
- Graduates planning life after university
- People changing careers in their 30s
- Athletes and artists building a skill over several years
- Founders breaking an annual OKR into weekly work
