How Loach Works

Every feature built around one question: what should we work on this week?

Loach isn't a tracking dashboard. It's a planning tool. Every feature is designed to help your team translate quarterly OKRs into concrete weekly action — and actually stick to them.

Most OKR tools stop where the real work starts

Other tools are great at storing your goals and showing a progress bar. What they don't do is help your team figure out what to work on Monday morning.

That's the gap. Your OKRs are set. Your team is aligned. But by Tuesday everyone's back to fighting fires, and your goals are collecting dust.

Loach is built to close that gap — not by adding more dashboards, but by guiding the planning that makes goals real.

What Loach does

Five features. One goal: your team knows what to work on every week.

Initiative Tracking

Know exactly what work drives each Key Result

Track initiatives alongside your Key Results so the link between daily work and quarterly goals is always visible. No more guessing what moves the needle.

"Increase retention by 15%" becomes concrete: ship onboarding improvements, run churn interviews, fix the billing flow. Each initiative lives right next to the KR it serves.

  • Add initiatives directly under each Key Result
  • See at a glance which KRs have a plan and which don't
  • Track initiative progress alongside KR progress
  • The breakdown makes weekly planning straightforward
The difference: Other tools track goals. Loach connects goals to the work that actually achieves them.

Weekly Planning View

Every Monday, your team knows exactly what matters

Every week, Loach shows your team their strategic focus for the week — pulled directly from the quarterly breakdown.

Teams then add their operational work alongside it. The result: a clear plan with strategic priorities protected, not buried.

  • Shows the week's strategic focus based on your OKRs
  • Teams add operational tasks so nothing falls through the cracks
  • Clear visual separation of strategic vs. operational work
  • Takes 5–10 minutes per week, not an hour
The difference: Weekdone and similar tools ask you to report on your week. Loach helps you plan it.

Weekly Check-Ins

Stay on track without adding meetings

A 1-minute end-of-week check-in keeps progress visible across the team. No status update meetings. No emails.

Just a quick pulse on what moved forward, what didn't, and what to adjust next week.

  • Simple progress check on weekly priorities
  • Flags blockers before they become problems
  • Builds a quarter-long record of execution (useful at review time)
  • Keeps leadership informed without interrupting teams
The difference: Check-ins are optional add-ons in most tools. In Loach, they're the mechanism that keeps the planning loop alive.

OKR Management

Your goals, always connected to the work

Set and manage OKRs at team or company level. Cascading goals, progress tracking, and a clear view of how each team's work connects to the bigger picture.

No spreadsheet monster required.

  • Set Objectives and Key Results at team or company level
  • Cascade goals across teams
  • Track progress over the quarter
  • See the full picture without endless dashboards
The difference: This is the foundation, not the product. Loach is built on top of OKR management — most tools stop here.

Team Workspace

One workspace, every team, one price

Invite your whole team — product, engineering, marketing, operations — with no per-user fees eating into your budget.

Everyone can see what other teams are focused on. No silos. No "should we really add Sarah?" moments.

  • Unlimited team members from €2.99/user/month
  • Plan-level visibility controls
  • Shared visibility across teams
  • First 5 users always free
The difference: Per-user pricing penalises adoption. We don't do that.

The planning loop that keeps your team on track

Loach works as a single loop that runs every quarter and every week.

1
Quarterly: Break down your OKRs

1–2 hours

Set your OKRs → Add initiatives under each Key Result → Your weekly roadmap writes itself

2
Weekly: Plan the week

5–10 minutes on Monday

Loach surfaces your strategic focus → Team adds operational work → Everyone knows what matters

3
Weekly: Check in

1 minute on Friday

Quick pulse on progress → Flag blockers → Adjust next week's plan if needed

The result: Your goals don't sit in Confluence. They drive what your team does each week.
