Sweet! I had the same idea recently based only on incremental values. I'm trying to quit smoking but I still cheat from time to time (I know, this is bad.) and I wanted to be able to track my progress.
I'll give it a try for sure.

#32I really like this idea. I've been looking for something similar on iOS. I'm currently going back and forth between two solutions for daily + weekly goal tracking: (1) Coach.me (formerly Lift), which works well but has a bit different focus, and doesn't provide a ton of visualization; and (2) simple tasks on Google Calendars, which is okay on desktop, and not great on mobile, and not really suitable for goal tracking overall (understandably).
Something fully contained like Goalie but for iOS would be awesome.

#33Coach.me is similar for iOS.
And web and Android. Goalie looks nice though. (but also, thanks for the Coach.me mention)

The app looks really useful and props on getting it out there. Another design related suggestion (especially for an app that features color so prominently) is to find a good color palette at a site like http://www.colourlovers.com/ and stick with that. No one should be picking their own colors in 2015 :)
I was aiming for colors to be a way to organize yours goals into categories and hopefully it isn't too invasive
At least keep the colors choice as an option if you do change it in any way! I am using it exactly as you said, to group like goals.
Edit: Plus it adds a little fun to it and makes it feel more personalized imo.

#35Anything comparable out there for iOS?
Re: Show HN: Goalie – A habit tracker
#36Installed it, will give it a try. And I appreciate the '3 goals try for free' mode for now. Exporting the data seems to generate somewhat readable json. Nice and simple. 1) Can I import that again, somehow? 2) Will you try to make sure that this json import/export format will be understood in versions 4 month from now?
1) Yes, eventually. 2) Yes, any json exported using the app will be understood in future versions.
If you happen to follow threads here:
Notifications/reminders are great. They'd be even more great if they'd disappear after me adding to a goal.
Think: 'Remind me at 9 to have breakfast'. Eat. Open Goalie. Swipe right. Browse HN. :)
10:00 - still seeing a reminder for breakfast that won't go away without dismissing it manually.

You're in luck. I'm adding the notification dismiss tonight. Great feedback, thanks!
