Your goals deserve more than a row in a spreadsheet.
A spreadsheet tracks numbers. pegore tracks progress — with structure, visual feedback, and check-ins that take 10 seconds, not 10 minutes.

Why people switch from Spreadsheets to pegore
Most people who track goals in spreadsheets stop updating them after a few weeks. The friction of opening a file, finding the right tab, editing the right cell, and seeing rows of numbers — it's designed for data, not for the experience of making progress.
- You spent more time building the tracker than actually tracking
- Progress was a number in a cell, not a visual experience
- The spreadsheet lived in a folder you forgot about by February
- You rewrote the formulas every quarter when dates changed
- There was no built-in structure — you were on your own

The bottom line
pegore
pegore gives you the structure, visual feedback, and low-friction check-ins that keep goals alive past week 2. It's opinionated by design — OKR framework, period management, metric types — so you don't have to invent the system yourself.
Spreadsheets
Spreadsheets are powerful and flexible. If you enjoy building systems and have the discipline to maintain them, a well-designed spreadsheet can work. For most people, the blank canvas is the problem — there's no default structure to follow, so goals disappear into cells.
Common questions
Can I import my existing spreadsheet goals into pegore?
There's no direct import, but migrating is simple. Create your objectives and key results in pegore and enter your current progress values. Most users set up their goals fresh at the start of a new quarter.
What if I need custom calculations that spreadsheets offer?
pegore handles the core OKR math automatically. For deeper analysis — comparing periods, exporting data — you can export your progress data and analyze it in a spreadsheet. Best of both worlds.
Is pegore really faster than a spreadsheet I've already built?
For ongoing tracking, yes — significantly. Adding a check-in in pegore takes about 10 seconds. In a spreadsheet, you need to open the file, navigate to the right sheet, find the right row, edit the cell, and save. That friction adds up over a quarter.
