Your boards. Not a spreadsheet.

The problem

You've Tried Everything.

You downloaded the app. Watched the setup tutorial. Organized your whole life into color-coded projects. Then two weeks later, you stopped opening it. And felt guilty every time you saw the icon.

Sound familiar?

Notion Todoist ClickUp Asana Things 3 Apple Reminders

The problem was never you. It was the apps.

GUILT TRIP OVERKILL ABANDONED

They were built for the fantasy version of you. The one who color-codes everything and never misses a deadline. Goat Rodeo is built for the real one.

How it works

Three Columns. Zero Pressure.

GTD + Kanban, translated into human. Capture your chaos. Process what matters. Celebrate what's done.

📥 The Pen

a.k.a. your brain dump

A chaotic dumping ground for raw thoughts. No judgment. No organizing. Just get it out of your head.

🎯 The Chute

a.k.a. your next moves

Processed tasks, lined up and ready. These are the things you've decided actually matter right now.

✅ Corralled

a.k.a. you did the thing

Done. Stamped. Celebrated. Move on without guilt. (Yes, the stamp sound is satisfying.)

Why we built this

A Letter From the Founder

"
I've abandoned more productivity apps than I can count. I built beautiful systems in Notion and felt too guilty to open them a week later. Todoist made me feel lazy. Things 3 made me feel like I wasn't serious enough.

I realized the problem wasn't my work ethic. It was that every tool I tried was built for a fantasy version of me. The one who color-codes everything, reviews tasks every Sunday, and never misses a deadline. That person doesn't exist.

So I built the app I actually needed. One that looks like my actual desk: messy, covered in sticky notes, a little chaotic, but mine. One that doesn't punish me for disappearing for two weeks. One that celebrates getting a thought OUT of my head, not just checking it off a list.

Goat Rodeo isn't going to fix your life. It's just going to make the mess a little easier to wrangle.

The Founder, Goat Rodeo

Questions

Yeah, But...

Wait, really no subscription? How do you make money?
We sell the app for $19. That's it. No ads, no data selling, no "premium tier" behind a paywall. Because we don't run servers (your data lives on your iCloud), our costs are nearly zero. When we release major new versions (v2, v3), those will be separate purchases with a loyalty discount for existing users. But the app you buy today? It's yours forever.
What happens if I lose my phone? Is my data safe?
Yes. Your data syncs through your personal iCloud account, the same system that backs up your photos and messages. Get a new phone, sign into iCloud, and your boards come right back. We never touch your data. Apple handles the backup.
Is there a desktop version coming?
It's on the roadmap. The mobile app launches first because fast capture (getting a thought out of your head the moment it hits) is the most critical use case. A desktop version for weekly reviews and bigger-picture planning is planned as a separate product. Mobile first, desktop next.
Why GTD + Kanban? That sounds complicated.
It's actually the opposite. GTD gives you a simple system: capture everything, decide what matters, do the next thing. Kanban gives you a visual way to see it: sticky notes moving across a board. We just made it feel like your actual desk instead of a corporate project management tool. You don't need to know what GTD stands for to use it.
What if I stop using it for two weeks?
Then you stop using it for two weeks. We won't send you a single notification about it. When you open it again, your board is exactly where you left it. No guilt trips. No "you missed 14 tasks" alerts. And if you want a clean slate? Hit the Fresh Start button and get a brand new board. Your old stuff is archived, not deleted.
Why should I trust another productivity app?
Honestly? You probably shouldn't trust any app blindly. We built Goat Rodeo because every other app we tried felt like it was designed to make us feel bad about ourselves. If you've been burned before, we get it. We have too. The difference is: we charge $19 once so we never need to monetize your attention, your data, or your guilt. Try it. If it doesn't click, you're out a lunch, not a monthly subscription.
