+# Attainly
+
+Attainly is a goal-oriented scheduling and progress-tracking application.
+
+It allows users to create structured collections of content or tasks, divide them into scheduled assignments across a selected date range, and mark each assignment complete as they progress toward the larger goal.
+
+## Core Concept
+
+A goal in Attainly can contain multiple levels of nested elements.
+
+For example, a Bible study collection could be organized like this:
+
+* Bible
+
+  * Genesis
+
+	* Genesis
+
+	  * Chapter 1
+      * Chapter 2
+
+    * Noah
+
+      * Chapter 1
+      * Chapter 2
+  
+  * Exodus
+  * Leviticus
+
+The structure is flexible and is not limited to reading plans. Attainly can be used for study programs, courses, books, projects, training plans, personal goals, or any other objective that can be broken into smaller parts.
+
+## Scheduling
+
+When creating a schedule, the user selects:
+
+* The collection or portion they want to complete
+* The level of the collection to schedule
+* The start date
+* The target completion date
+
+Attainly then distributes the selected elements evenly across the available days.
+
+For example, a user could choose to schedule:
+
+* One book at a time
+* Individual chapters
+* Smaller sections within each chapter
+* Any other available level in the collection structure
+
+## Daily Progress
+
+Users can view the items scheduled for each day and mark them complete as they finish them.
+
+Attainly tracks:
+
+* Completed items
+* Uncompleted items
+* Current progress
+* Remaining work
+* Progress toward the final goal
+
+The primary experience is designed around checking in regularly, completing the assigned elements, and steadily moving toward completion.
+
+## Schedule Adjustment
+
+If a user misses one or more days, Attainly can recalculate the remaining schedule.
+
+Completed items remain completed, while unfinished items are redistributed across the remaining days before the original target completion date.
+
+This prevents missed assignments from piling up on the day the user returns while still keeping the user focused on reaching the original goal.
+
+## Planned Features
+
+Future versions of Attainly may include:
+
+* Shared and collaborative goals
+* Groups and group progress tracking
+* Libraries of preset collections and schedules
+* Public or private collection templates
+* Progress reports and statistics
+* Notifications and scheduled reminders
+* Reusable goal plans
+* Community-created collections
+
+## Vision
+
+Attainly is built around a simple idea:
+
+Large goals become attainable when they are broken into clear, scheduled steps and completed consistently over time.
