Give every project a mission

Mission Updater scans your Focus Forge organizations every day and shows you exactly which projects still have no mission, so nothing drifts without direction.

Native macOS app. Requires a Focus Forge account.

How it works

How it works

1

Connect to Focus Forge

Mission Updater reads your Focus Forge credentials and scans every organization and project you have access to.

2

Review what's missing

It shows you only the projects with no mission yet, one at a time, with their Sections and Task Lists a scroll away.

3

Write, save, done

Type a mission and hit Save & Next. It's verified in Focus Forge immediately, and you move on to the next project.

Features

What it does

Scans every project automatically

On launch and once a day, Mission Updater reads all your organizations and projects from the Focus Forge API and shows only the ones with no mission set.

One project at a time

Walks you through missing missions one by one with gentle fades, so you can focus without getting overwhelmed by a long list.

Context while you write

Scroll any project to reveal its Sections and Task Lists, giving you the context you need to write a mission that actually fits.

Saved and verified

Save & Next writes the mission back to Focus Forge, then re-reads it to confirm it persisted before moving to the next project.

Quit anytime, nothing lost

Every mission you've saved is already written to Forge. Close the window or quit whenever you like — only unsaved text in progress goes away.

Runs quietly at login

Installs as a background login item that rescans every morning, plus whenever the app comes to the front or every 24 hours.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What does Mission Updater actually do?

It scans all your Focus Forge organizations and projects, finds the ones with no mission set, and walks you through writing one for each.

Do I need Focus Forge to use it?

Yes. Mission Updater connects directly to your Focus Forge account and only manages missions for projects that already exist there.

What happens if I quit before finishing?

Nothing is lost. Every mission you've already saved was written to Focus Forge the moment you saved it. Only text you were still typing goes away.

How often does it check for new projects?

It scans on launch, once every morning via a background login item, and again whenever the app becomes active or 24 hours have passed.

What happens when every project has a mission?

You'll see an all-set screen. Press Cmd+R anytime to rescan on demand.

Is it free?

Yes, Mission Updater is free for macOS.

Keep every project pointed somewhere

Mission Updater makes sure no project in Focus Forge goes without direction. Install it once, and it quietly keeps your organizations on mission.
