We’re building GOALD in the open, and we ship something new almost every week. Here’s everything that’s changed lately. Got an idea for what we should build next? Tell us.
November 4, 2026
- Dismiss a reminder. Not on today’s list? Tap the X on any habit reminder, or Not today, and that habit stays quiet until tomorrow.
- See your partners from any challenge. On a challenge board, your accountability partners’ names are links. Tap one to see their habits.
- A fresh Solitaire daily deal. Stuck on today’s deal? Tap New game for a different daily deal that can always be won. Win it and your day counts.
- Do it now. Gratitude, Joy and Daily Challenges have a Do it now button at the top of the habit, and it takes you straight there.
- Add a timer run by hand, on GOALD Builder. Forgot the timer, or left it running? Add the time you actually did. It shows as added by hand.
October 27, 2026
- Tap and Go. The basics in one tap: gratitude, joy, meditation, reading, vitamins, a walk and more, each ready with how often, its reasons and its color. Tap the + button, then Tap and Go.
- Your timer remembers. Finish shows your total and every lap, and each habit and the Timer tab keep your last 10 runs, with your best stopwatch time starred to beat.
- A timer on every habit. Use it or ignore it. Number habits with no unit log the minutes, and tapping Joy or Gratitude again picks up today’s entry where you left off.
- The Joy journal. In Notes, write three things that brought you joy today. Make a Joy habit and finishing all three checks it off, the same as gratitude.
- Your tracked days come with you. Turn something you track into a habit and every day you tracked lands on its calendar and in its streak. Settings shows when you started tracking and when it became a habit.
- PIN lock is free for everyone. Security should never cost extra. Turn it on in Settings with one switch, or leave it off if your phone already locks.
- Keep it where it is. Turning something you track into a habit now offers to keep your current pace, not just more or less.
October 26, 2026
- The Timer tab. Countdown, Focus (25 minutes on and 5 off, or any lengths you like) and a stopwatch with laps, right in the bottom bar. When one ends, count it toward a habit and it checks off.
- Countdown or stopwatch on every habit. Time your audiobook down from 15, or let a meditation run as long as it runs and tap Finish. Counting minutes? The time logs itself, and you can see your days a week and your average minutes.
- Profile moved up top. Tap your letter at the top right for your Profile, your badges and the Pyramid.
- Sign-up and password emails, straight from GOALD. Your confirmation and password reset emails now come from GOALD itself. Using Hotmail or Outlook? Check your junk folder the first time.
- Smarter routines. Done a times-a-week habit enough times this week? Your routine skips it for you and starts with what is still due.
- Fits big text better. The account menu and the routine editor now fit on phones that use large text.
October 25, 2026
- Habit Hitch, on GOALD Builder. Tie a new habit to something you already do: “When I pour my coffee, I’ll meditate.” The thing you already do becomes the reminder.
- Routines, on GOALD Builder. Put a few habits in order and tap Start. GOALD walks you through one step at a time and cheers you on as you knock each one off. One reminder starts the whole routine.
- Search your notes, on GOALD Builder. Find any note on the Ledger in seconds, and your gratitude journal too if you want.
- PIN lock, on GOALD Builder. Keep your habits, notes and gratitude journal private with a 4-digit PIN.
October 24, 2026
- Sign in with Microsoft. Google, Facebook and Microsoft accounts all work now, right from the front door.
- About GOALD. A new page in your account menu explains the Pyramid and shows the full scoring table.
- A new account menu, and a cleaner Profile and Settings. Tap the letter circle at the top right.
- Year at a Glance. Every habit and everything you track now shows the whole year, month by month.

- Move a habit back to Just tracking. Keep the record without the pressure. Your XP and badges stay.
October 23, 2026
- Habit timer. Open a habit, pick a length, and tap Start. When time is up, the habit checks itself off. Perfect for that 15-minute audiobook.
- Perfect days. The Progress tab now counts the days you did every daily habit: all time, this month, and your best run. Those numbers only go up.
- Your weekly report, on GOALD Builder. Last week at a glance: your score, check-ins, perfect days, XP earned, your strongest habit and your mood.
- Go brag. Rank up or earn a badge and tap Go brag to share a picture of it anywhere.
- Help and Feedback is now in your account menu too.
- Mood check-in. Turn it on in Settings, then tap “How are you today?” on Home whenever you feel like it. Five quick sliders (Mood, Mindset, Headspace, Outlook and Motivation) plus a color for your energy. Totally optional, and only you see it.
- Your Mood Mosaic. Every check-in paints a square, so your month turns into a colorful quilt. Find it on the Progress tab, along with your weekly Mood Weather report.
- Mood and your habits. After 14 check-ins, GOALD shows you which habits lift your mood the most.
- Start over with a clean slate. Keep the habits you want and clear the rest, clear them all, or start completely fresh. Find it at the bottom of Profile.
- Bring your streak with you. Coming from another app or a paper calendar? Enter the streak you already have and keep counting from there.
- See how close you are. Badges you’re working toward now show your progress, like “42 of 50.”
- Sign in with Facebook, right from the front door.

October 15, 2026

- Delete your account any time from Profile, or just pause it and keep everything for when you come back.
October 10, 2026
