About Onion Loop

Empowering individuals to transform their lives through flexible, compassionate, and structured goal setting.

Our Mission

At Onion Loop, we believe that personal growth is an iterative process, not a linear race. Our mission is to empower individuals to transform their lives through flexible, compassionate, and structured goal setting. We view life's objectives through the lens of continuous improvement: experiment safely, take small steps, and keep what works.

Our Values

🎯

Purpose Over Usefulness

We prioritize work that aligns with personal meaning. It's not about how much you check off, but why you do it.

🦋

Progression as Transformation

The ultimate goal isn't to do more, but to become more. We focus on habits that shape identity.

Freedom from Time Pressure

We strive to remove the "tyranny of time." The clock is a tool for focus, not a source of stress.

💚

Self-Kindness

We reject shame as a motivator. Falling behind is an opportunity to learn and adapt, not a reason to quit.

🌱

Growth Mindset

We believe that abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work.

🤝

Community

We are building a community of individuals committed to personal growth and mutual support.

Our Story

The Insight

Onion Loop began with a simple realization: traditional productivity tools often create more anxiety than they solve. We saw people struggling with endless to-do lists and feeling like failures for not doing "enough." We realized that the principles of software development—iteration, continuous improvement, and safe experimentation—could be applied to personal growth.

The Philosophy

We developed the "Goals are Flexible Experiments" philosophy. Just as developers create separate paths to experiment with code, individuals should be able to create flexible paths for their goals. If a goal doesn't work out, it's not a failure; it's just a path you chose not to follow. This shift in perspective removes the fear of failure and encourages experimentation.

The Mission

Today, we are dedicated to building tools that embody this philosophy. Our flagship app, "Today," is designed to help you focus on what matters, break down big goals, and treat yourself with kindness along the way. We are building the best version of ourselves, one step at a time.
