Faro vs Lifeplans

Faro is an iOS app for setting yearly goals and reflecting through journals and check-ins. Journal entries can be text, voice notes, or photos, and goals can have dated milestones with alerts for approaching or overdue dates. Guided weekly or monthly check-ins offer additional ways to record progress. AI reviews can turn journal entries and check-ins into a summary, themes, and a suggested next focus; Ask Faro lets users discuss habits, patterns, and goal progress using their journal entries as context. AI processing is off unless users explicitly consent, and consent can be withdrawn in Settings. Faro says it sends only relevant content for a requested AI feature and does not train AI models on journal content. The free plan allows up to three active goals, unlimited milestones, journals, check-ins, streaks and badges, and a Face ID lock. Pro costs $4.99 a month and adds Ask Faro, monthly, quarterly, and yearly AI reviews, smart reminders, a daily prompt, and unlimited goals. The service is licensed for personal, non-commercial reflection and journaling.
