## Description

North Star is a flexible goals and habits tracker that helps you plan, track, and achieve any goal—from health to learning to New Year’s resolutions. Use four customizable tools—Habits, Milestones, Measures, and Planner—and switch between views to see progress in the layout that fits you.

No signup, no data sharing, and a privacy-first approach. The app is free to download with a 7-day trial and offers three subscription plans for continued use; you can cancel anytime. North Star is designed to work as a lightweight, privacy-conscious extension to support your personal development journey.

## Review summary

North Star is praised for its beautiful design and a comprehensive goal/habit toolkit that helps users stay accountable and progress toward goals. However, it lacks cross-device syncing, Apple Watch support, and widgets, and has no desktop version. Users also note limited updates and some UI bugs after redesign. If these issues are addressed, the app could justify continued use and higher satisfaction.

### Pros

- Beautiful, polished UI/design that is easy to use and visually appealing.
- Comprehensive feature set (habits, planner, milestones, measures, tasks) that supports goal setting and progress tracking.
- Helps with accountability, motivation, and staying on track toward goals.
- Subscription pricing is perceived as affordable and offers good value for the features.

### Cons

- No cross-device syncing (iCloud) or cloud sync across iPhone/iPad/macOS, leading to data not staying in sync.
- No Apple Watch app and no home screen widgets, limiting quick access and reminders.
- No desktop version; perceived stagnation with limited/slow updates and ongoing maintenance issues.
- Occasional UI/UX regressions after redesign (e.g., small fonts/icons) and reports of bugs with icons/animations.
