Daily habits, running totals, targets by a date, and one-time resolutions — with streaks and insights, and nothing leaving your device.
However you actually think about progress, Onward fits it.
The classic streak. Flexible frequencies, specific weekdays, rest days that don't break your streak, and quit-habit tracking that counts the days you stay clean.
Count something up — miles, pages, glasses of water, dollars saved. Log it in a couple of taps and watch it add up.
"Read 12 books by December." Onward does the pace math and tells you, honestly, whether you're on track, ahead, or behind — and shows its work.
A one-time goal with no schedule — "update my will," "plan the trip." Track it as a simple checkbox, a percentage, or a checklist of sub-tasks, with an optional due date.
Your history becomes feedback: streaks, completion rates, an activity heatmap, trend charts, milestones, and a weekly review.
Timed habits and a built-in focus timer for deep work sessions.
As many as you need per habit, grouped by time of day.
Add a note and a mood tag to any entry.
A complete history you can edit and backfill.
Looks right, day or night.
Log habits and check streaks right from your wrist.
A one-time unlock, not a subscription. And if you were already using Onward, you keep everything for free.

Running Total just adds up what you log. Target by Date does that plus a deadline, and calculates whether you're ahead, on pace, or behind.
A one-time goal with no quantity or recurring schedule — things like "update my will" or "plan the trip." Mark it done with a simple checkbox, or track partial progress with a percentage or a checklist of sub-tasks. An optional due date is a plain deadline, with no pace math since there's no quantity to pace against.
Depends on the habit: rest days don't break a streak, flexible frequencies give you room, and quit-habits simply restart the clean-day count.
