📊 Measurable Tasks

Measurable tasks track numeric progress toward a daily goal. Instead of just tapping "done", you log values (steps, pages, minutes) and watch a progress bar fill up.

🔢

Numeric

Track counts: steps, pages read, glasses of water, reps, miles.

Duration

Track time: minutes of reading, exercise, practice, meditation.

🎯

Threshold Points

Full points only when the daily goal is met. All or nothing.

📈

Proportional Points

Points scale with progress. 50% done = 50% of points earned.

How to Create a Measurable Task

⚡ Quick Presets: Use preset buttons to quickly set up: Steps 10k, Miles 3, Read 30m, Exercise 30m, Water 8 glasses.

Logging Progress

On your dashboard, measurable tasks show a progress bar. Enter a value and tap "+ Log". You can log multiple times per day — values add together.

Built-in Timer (Duration Tasks)

Duration tasks get a play/stop timer button. Start it, do your activity, stop it — elapsed minutes are logged automatically. Capped at 4 hours.

🎯 Personal Goals

Personal Goals are longer-term targets that accumulate over days or weeks. Unlike measurable tasks (which reset daily), goals keep building until you reach your target.

How to Create a Goal

Backdating Entries

Forgot to log yesterday? Tap the 📅 calendar icon, choose "Yesterday" or "2 days ago" or pick a specific date, then log your value. You cannot log for future dates.

Linked Tasks

Link a goal to a measurable task. Progress logged on that daily task also counts toward the goal automatically.

❓ FAQ

Do I need Plus for this?

Yes. Measurable tasks and personal goals require Plus ($4.99/month or $49.99/year). Free users can see the feature but cannot log progress.

Can I convert an existing task?

Yes! Edit any recurring task in Settings and check "Measurable Task". Your existing completion history is preserved.

What if I exceed my daily goal?

Points are awarded once per day when you first hit the goal. Extra progress is tracked but does not earn additional points.

Can multiple earners have measurable tasks?

Yes. Each earner has independent progress tracking.
