I built an app for people with multiple unfinished goals — would love brutal feedback

Long-time lurker, first time posting about something I've actually shipped.

The problem I kept having:

I had four things I genuinely wanted to make progress on — running, drumming, home DIY projects, swimming. Motivated in theory. Consistently derailed in practice.

I tried Notion (too much setup), habit trackers (only good for one thing at a time), calendar blocks (always overwritten by work), and a personal trainer (brilliant, but £50/session and only for fitness).

Nothing told me what to work on today, booked it in my diary, and checked in when I disappeared.

What I built:

Kresce — an AI personal trainer for every goal in your life simultaneously.

  • Tells you what to work on today based on what you've been neglecting
  • Schedules sessions around your actual availability and pushes to Google/Apple Calendar
  • Checks in when you go quiet (trainer voice, not guilt-trip)
  • Picks you back up after a gap without punishing you
  • Manages multiple goals at once and tells you what to prioritise

You set up your goals, tell it when you're free, and it handles the rest.

Tech stack: React/TypeScript, Express, PostgreSQL, OpenAI API (AI trainer conversations and voice), Stripe for subscriptions.

What I'm looking for:

Honest feedback on:

  • Does the problem resonate with you?
  • What's confusing about the onboarding?
  • What's missing that would make you actually pay for it?
  • What would make you NOT pay for it?

Free trial at kresce.com — takes 3 minutes to set up a goal and see your first week scheduled.

Happy to answer anything about the build, the decisions I made, or what I got wrong.

I've been trying to pay attention to the specific thoughts that come up right before I skip something I said I'd do.

It's not "I don't want to do this." It's more like:

  • "I'll do a better session tomorrow when I'm not tired"
  • "I've done well this week so this one skip doesn't count"
  • "The setup is just a bit awkward tonight"
  • "I'll start properly on Monday"

The fascinating thing is how reasonable these thoughts sound in the moment. They're not even wrong, necessarily. Sometimes resting is the right call. Sometimes the timing genuinely is bad.

But I've noticed that the voice offering the reasonable excuse is always there, and it always sounds responsible and adult, and it almost never actually means I'll do a better session tomorrow.

What specific thoughts do you notice? And has anyone found anything that actually interrupts the loop — not motivation, but something that breaks the rationalisation cycle before it closes?
