Goru

Overview

Goru is an AI-enhanced goal-setting and habit-tracking app designed for intentional living and long-term achievement. Built for a life coach and her clients, the app helps users turn abstract visions into structured SMART goals, daily habits, and milestone-driven progress—all within a sleek, gamified interface. We co-developed Goru using Cursor and React Native, blending creative prototyping with AI-powered automation for a deeply personal productivity tool.

Project Details

Goru was built from the ground up as a conversational AI experience, designed to guide users through:

• Writing a long-term vision
• Converting that vision into a SMART goal
• Breaking it down into trackable habits and milestones

We vibe coded the entire product in Cursor, using a prompt-driven development workflow to:

• Generate and scaffold component logic
• Iterate on chat-based UI interactions
• Structure state for goal creation, habit logging, streak tracking, and XP systems

The frontend was built in React Native for mobile-first use, with the backend powered by OpenAI’s API to provide real-time assistance and habit suggestions based on user input.

Core features include:

• Guided SMART goal creation with auto-suggestions and validation
• Habit tracking with daily check-ins and color-coded streak progress
• Milestone planning with visual rings and completion animations
• Gamified system with XP, points, and streak rewards to boost consistency
• Daily Loadout UI inspired by energy and time-block systems (Morning, Midday, Unwind)
• Future-ready architecture for Vision Pro expansion, including immersive vision board reviews and voice-guided affirmations
