Goals
How recommendations work
What's behind your next move, and what to do if it doesn't fit your situation.
Last updated July 4, 2026
Goals recommends one move at a time: a specific item, in a quantity sized for your household, with real products you can buy right away.
What a recommendation includes
- The need. What gap it closes (for example, water for your 3-day goal) and why it's the best next investment for your readiness.
- The quantity. Sized to your household, in the units you'd actually buy (cases and containers, not abstract gallons).
- Product options. Real products with direct links to the retailer, so acting on a recommendation takes one click.
If a move doesn't fit
Not every recommendation suits every household. Use Swap to see other options for the same need, or to move on to a different need entirely. Tell us why it doesn't fit and the next suggestion takes that into account.
Already have it?
If a recommendation suggests something you already own, use Log it. The item is added to your Supplies in the right category, your readiness updates, and Goals moves on to your next real gap.
Note
Recommendations always reflect your current supplies. Add items anywhere in the app and your next move recalculates, so it never goes stale.
Watching yourself level up
As you complete moves, your progress chart fills in and each readiness stage (3 days, 1 week, 1 month, and beyond) unlocks the next. It's the same data as your dashboard, focused on what to do next instead of what you already did.
