Done vs TryGoals
A TryGoals alternative focused on getting today's tasks done.
TryGoals ties every task to a goal, and has since added its own AI teammate — you can assign it research, drafts, or recurring nudges and it reports back, much closer to Done's core idea than a plain goal planner. Done stays one level down from goals, at daily execution: capture anything fast, no goal required, and assign what you'd rather not do to an AI agent.
Why people choose Done
- Task-first, not goal-first — capture and assign anything, no goal required
- Free to start, no credit card; TryGoals has no free plan, only a 30-day trial
- An MCP endpoint for any client — Claude, ChatGPT, or otherwise — not just Claude and Codex
- True blocked-by dependencies keep agents from jumping ahead
Where TryGoals shines
TryGoals is a genuine AI-agent competitor now, not just a goal planner — if tying every task to a long-term goal and getting an AI-written weekly briefing on your progress is what you want, its agent bridge covers Claude and Codex out of the box.
