Introducing Griply: The All-in-One Goal and Habit Management Platform (Now with Calendar Integration)
Are you tired of juggling multiple productivity tools that don’t seamlessly connect? Managing goals, habits, and daily tasks can become overwhelming, especially when your tools lack integration. That was the motivation behind creating Griply—a comprehensive platform designed to unify all aspects of personal productivity into a single, intuitive interface.
The Inspiration Behind Griply
Like many busy individuals, I found myself relying on various apps to track my goals, monitor habits, and plan daily activities. Unfortunately, these tools often operated in isolation, making long-term planning cumbersome and disconnected. I envisioned a solution that could support the entire process—from setting ambitious objectives to breaking them down into actionable steps, maintaining consistent habits, and scheduling everything effectively on a calendar.
After a year of dedicated development, working alongside a passionate team of friends, we launched Griply—a dynamic system that transforms how you approach personal growth and productivity.

Technology stack highlights:
- Frontend:
- React-based Single Page Application (SPA) and Progressive Web App (PWA) to support web, desktop, and Android platforms seamlessly
- Built with Vite, using TypeScript for maintainability
- UI components include FullCalendar for scheduling, React DnD for drag-and-drop features, and MUI for
