What makes Serenity different from other goal-setting apps?

In a crowded market of productivity and goal-setting apps, Serenity stands apart by focusing on what truly matters: helping you build a meaningful life aligned with your values, not just checking off tasks. While other apps optimize for productivity and efficiency, we optimize for purpose and personal growth.
