Replace Your OKR Spreadsheet With a Tool That Drives Execution
Spreadsheets track OKRs. Loach turns them into weekly action. Your team stops asking "what should I work on?" and starts delivering — every single week.

Why Spreadsheet OKRs Break Down
It is not a discipline problem. It is a tool problem.
Someone has to chase every team member for their OKR updates, copy numbers into the spreadsheet, and format the cells. Repeat every week until the system quietly dies.
Spreadsheets show you where you are, but not what to prioritise. Your team sees a red cell and still has no idea what to work on Monday morning to fix it.
The OKR spreadsheet is one tool. Tasks are in Jira or Linear. Conversations are in Slack. Nothing connects — OKRs become documentation, not drivers of behaviour.
Spreadsheet OKR systems require discipline to maintain. When the maintenance effort feels bigger than the benefit, teams stop using them — usually by mid-quarter.
What You Get With Loach Instead
Purpose-built for the planning layer that spreadsheets skip.
Loach prompts your team to update their OKRs each week and surfaces blockers automatically. No chasing, no copy-paste, no forgotten updates.
Every team member sees a pre-populated list of what to focus on this week — derived directly from your OKR breakdown. A spreadsheet never did that.
Loach guides you through breaking each OKR into monthly milestones and weekly focus areas. What lived in your head now lives in a shared plan.
Loach costs €0 for teams up to 5 people. For a 10-person team, it's €29.90/month — less than the time cost of one round of manual OKR chasing.
