Goal Tracker

What is Goal Tracker?

Goal Tracker is a simple, free web-based tool to help you set, track, and achieve your personal goals. Whether you want to improve your health, advance your career, save money, or learn new skills, Goal Tracker keeps you accountable and motivated. All your data stays on your device—no cloud servers, no sign-ups needed.

How to Use Goal Tracker

1. Create a Goal: Enter a title, description, select a category (Health, Finance, Career, Learning, or Personal), and set a deadline.
2. Choose Target Type: Pick between numeric goals (e.g., "lose 10 pounds") or simple checkbox goals (e.g., "complete certification").
3. Track Progress: Update your progress by entering the current value. Watch your progress bar fill up and see milestone markers at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%.
4. Monitor Status: The dashboard shows your total goals, completion rate, and your current streak of consecutive days working toward goals.
5. Archive Completed Goals: Once you hit 100%, archive a goal to keep your active list clean.
6. Export & Share: Export your goals as a text summary to share with a friend or keep a backup.

Use Cases

• Fitness Goals: Track weight loss, running distance, or workout frequency.
• Financial Goals: Save for a vacation, build an emergency fund, or pay off debt.
• Career Goals: Complete projects, earn certifications, or increase sales targets.
• Learning Goals: Read books, complete courses, or practice a new language.
• Personal Development: Build habits, meditate daily, or journal regularly.

Is my data safe and private?

Yes. All your goals are stored locally on your device using browser localStorage. Nothing is sent to any server. Your data is completely private and under your control.

What happens if I clear my browser data?

If you clear your browser's local storage or cookies, your goals will be deleted. We recommend exporting your goals regularly as a backup.

Can I edit a goal after creating it?

Yes. Update the progress field to change your current progress. If you need to modify the goal itself, delete and recreate it.

How is my streak calculated?

Your streak counts consecutive days where you've made progress on at least one goal. The streak resets if you miss a day with no progress updates.

Can I have multiple goals in one category?

Absolutely! You can create as many goals as you want across all categories. The dashboard will show your overall completion rate.

How do I delete a goal?

Click the "Delete" button on any goal. The goal will be permanently removed (or you can archive it first if you want to keep it for reference).
