One critique I have is that it seems like it's binary whether you complete a task on any given day which doesn't work well if you only partially complete something. For example, lets say I set a goal to walk for 1 hour per day. But then I only walk for 30 minutes, how would the app handle that situation?
Unfortunately at the moment it is binary (done or not-done).
Can you add "laps" to the target counter?
There's a great open source android app[0] which has most of the functionality here in a really polished package. [0] https://github.com/iSoron/uhabits

Why did you want to track the goal in the first place? This is probably the most important question.
Why didn’t you set the goal to 30 minutes, if there are days where it’s likely that you miss your more ambitious goal?
If you set the goal to walk an hour per day and you just walk 30 minutes, you obviously failed to reach the goal. Depending on the first two questions, you can be hard on yourself for this or not.
What I would like is a paid plan where you pay for each day where you don't exercise. See "loss aversion" on Wikipedia for why.

This is exactly why duolingo owl has so much power over me. Can't lose my 235 day streak and can't drop out of to a lower league after working so hard to get to that league.
> duolingo owl has so much power over me. I use duolingo as well - and one of the saddest days was when I lost a 100+ day streak. It's funny how a meaningless number can have so much power.
Every time when I am about to lose a streak, I would try hard not to be influenced emotionally, and would regard an opportunity to keep my ego in check. I have lost streaks many times, 50+ maybe three times, 100+ one time, and I still feel fine with myself.
Normally I would practice Duolingo in the morning before coffee everyday, like a ritual.
