Goal Tracker — Plan Goals, Track Milestones

Set a goal, break it into milestones, and watch a visual progress bar move as you complete each one — free, and built into your EK Diary journal.

EK Diary's goal tracker lets you set a goal, break it down into milestones, and track progress with a visual bar that fills in as you complete each step. It's free, has no limit on how many goals you can run at once, and lives on the same dashboard as your journal and habits.

The goal tracker inside EK Diary — milestones roll up into one visual progress bar per goal.

Goals with milestones, not just a checkbox

A goal like "run a half marathon" or "finish my portfolio" rarely happens in one step. EK Diary lets you break a goal into milestones — sign up for the race, run 10km without stopping, run 15km — so progress is visible long before the goal itself is done.

See progress at a glance

Each goal shows a progress bar and percentage based on how many milestones are complete. Instead of a vague sense of "I'm working on it," you get a concrete number that updates every time you tick off a step — useful both for staying motivated and for your weekly review.

Goals that connect to your daily journal

Because your goal tracker sits inside the same app as your daily diary, it's easy to write a quick note about a setback or a breakthrough right next to the goal itself, instead of losing that context in a separate notes app. Your habit tracker can reinforce the daily actions a goal depends on — journaling toward a goal and building the habit that gets you there happen in the same place.

What people use it for

  • Academic goals — exam prep, thesis milestones, skill certifications
  • Fitness goals — race training, weight targets, strength milestones
  • Career goals — job search steps, project deliverables, promotions
  • Personal goals — savings targets, creative projects, travel plans

Free, with no goal limit

There's no cap on how many goals or milestones you can track, and it works in Hindi and other Indian languages, so you can write goal names and milestone notes the way you actually think and speak.

How to break a big goal into milestones that actually work

The most common reason a goal stalls isn't lack of motivation — it's that the goal is too big to act on today. "Learn Spanish" doesn't tell you what to do this week; "finish 10 lessons in the app" does. A good milestone is specific, has a rough number attached where possible, and is small enough to finish in days or a couple of weeks, not months. Set 3–5 milestones for most goals — fewer and the progress bar barely moves between check-ins; more and tracking the goal starts to feel like a second job.

Goal tracker — quick answers

How many goals can I track at once?

There's no limit — some people run one big goal at a time, others track four or five across fitness, career, and personal life simultaneously.

Can I edit milestones after I've set them?

Yes, milestones aren't locked in — add, remove, or reorder them as a goal evolves, and your progress percentage recalculates automatically.

Does completing a goal do anything special?

A completed goal stays in your history so you can look back on it during a weekly or yearly review — useful for seeing how much you've actually finished over time, not just what's currently in progress.
