How the goal tracker works
A goal you can count
Pick what you will count (pages, sessions, hours, tasks, items, or your own word) and the number that means done. A goal with a number shows exactly how far you've come.
Add progress, today or this week
Add an amount for today or for any of the 6 days before, so a busy day can be logged later. Each entry can be removed if you made a mistake. The total only goes up when you add progress.
Milestones and a date
Up to 5 milestones mark points on the way, and they light up as you pass them. With a date, the tracker works out about how much a week is left to do: what is left, divided by the weeks to go, rounded up. When the date passes it says so plainly, and you can pick a new one. It never judges your pace.
Goals it doesn't track
This tracker doesn't take money, weight or body goals, or New Year resolutions. Type one and it shows a short note instead.
Where your goals are kept
Goals and their progress are saved in this browser only, next to any habits in the habit tracker, and never sent anywhere. “Delete everything” removes both.
Turn a goal into a daily habit
A goal says where you want to get; a habit is what you do on the way. A habit plan ties a small daily step to something you already do, and the habit tracker counts the days.
