Accessing it from my iPhone and I don't see a link to register. Is that just for the mobile version of the site?

Yes, for now you need to go to the desktop version to register and add goals. Once you've done it, you may continue use it on your iPhone.

It looks quite nice and I've been looking for something similar - though ideally as a native iPhone app.

One thing I'm forever pernickety about: donations != business

It's a nice looking webapp but it takes more than that to make it a business

EDIT: oh, wait, the frontpage only mentions donations but I go to sign up and there's a $5/mo plan. Why isn't that front & center on the front page? It makes it feel like a bait & switch

EDIT #2: Aggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh... It gets worse! Once I've activated my (supposedly) free account I immediately get presented with options to pay for 1, 6 or 12months. Even more bait & switch! Why don't you just man-up, put the price on the front page and give a 30 day trial. Right now I'm not even going to try the app itself - the upsell attempts are worse than GoDaddy!

I agree, perhaps it's misleading and we should fix it. When we have launched, it was a non-profit project, so we have added donations. Recently, we have added some additional features with a premium account.

From your pricing page, what are "Basic Goal Types" and "Advanced Goal Types"? Is that like, "do my laundry" vs. "solve P == NP"? As a visitor, these labels mean nothing to me.

and can you couch the copy on the homepage in terms of benefits rather than features please?
