Most goal apps break the first time you miss.
You set the goal on a good day. Then a deadline lands, someone gets sick, or the week just gets away from you. The streak resets to zero and the app turns red. Opening it starts to feel like getting graded, so you stop opening it.
That isn't a willpower problem. It's a design problem: the tracker only knows how to say "you failed." Yarvy is built for the week after the miss.
"I don't need an app that makes me feel guilty."
How Yarvy tracks a goal
- Say it like you'd say it to a friend.
"Run a 10k by October." "Read before bed, 4 nights a week." "Be more patient with my kids." Yarvy works out what kind of goal it is and sets it up for you.
- It breaks it down.
Big goals get milestones and a clear next step. Yarvy links the tasks on your list that move the goal forward, so errands don't quietly bury it.
- It tells you straight where you stand.
Every goal reads on pace, behind, or stalled, worked out from what you've actually done. No vague progress rings, and no judgment either. Just the fact.
- When you slip, you get options.
Move the date, shrink the target, or change just this week. Or pause the goal until life calms down. A pause is a rest, not a verdict, and every check-in stays put.
Three kinds of goals
- Achieve: a finish line to reach, like a half marathon or $3,000 saved. Tracked toward a date, with milestones.
- Habit: a rhythm to keep, like reading 4 nights a week or no phone after 10pm. Counted by the week, so one missed day doesn't erase the rest.
- Grow: a quality to build, like speaking up more. Tracked through check-ins instead of a number.
Your goals and your list, in one place
Goals usually live in one app and the to-do list in another, so the goals lose to the errands every time. In Yarvy they share a home. When you ask "what now?", Yarvy can say "your run is today and you're on pace, do that first" instead of handing you forty things.
The first time you open it each week, you get a short, honest read on how last week went across your goals. It states what happened and what might help. It never lectures.
What it doesn't do yet
Yarvy won't ping your phone about a goal. There are no push notifications yet, so check-ins happen when you open it. Add it to your home screen and it's one tap away.
Fair questions.
Is the goal tracker free?
Your tasks, lists, and goals are free for good, and they work without the AI. Every account starts with 30 days of full AI help with no card at signup, so nothing renews behind your back. After that a little chat each month stays free, and you can add more from inside the app.
What happens if I miss a week?
Nothing resets. Yarvy tells you plainly that you're behind, then offers a way forward: a later date, a smaller target, or a lighter week. You can also pause the goal and pick it back up when life calms down.
How is this different from a habit tracker?
Habit trackers count streaks, so one bad day wipes out a good month. Yarvy tracks your pace across the week or toward a date, links the goal to the tasks on your actual list, and talks it through with you when things slip.
Do I have to talk to it to track a goal?
No. You can set goals, log check-ins, and see your pace by tapping. The chat is there when you want help breaking a goal down or figuring out what to change.
Will it remind me about my goals?
Not with notifications yet. You get a short rundown every time you open Yarvy, including which goals need attention. Add it to your home screen so it's one tap away.
