Goals

Missed a few days? Your goal isn't ruined.

Most goal apps reset you to zero and turn red. Yarvy tells you honestly where you stand, and helps you pick it back up.

Set a goal

Free plan, no card needed.

If this keeps happening, you're not the problem.

You start strong. Two good weeks, maybe three. Then a deadline lands, a kid gets sick, or the week just gets away from you. You miss a few days, the app shows a zero or a wall of red, and opening it starts to feel like getting graded. So you stop opening it.

"I fell off as soon as I missed a couple days."

That pattern is common enough that researchers have studied it. Missing one day doesn't actually slow a habit down (Lally et al., 2010). What does the damage is how a broken streak feels: people tend to do less after one, however much they'd already done (Silverman & Barasch, 2023).

So the fix isn't more discipline. It's a tracker that expects real weeks, and a plan for the week after the miss. Here's how Yarvy does both.

Tell Yarvy what you're working toward

There's no form to fill in. Say it the way you'd say it to a friend, like "run a 10k by March, I can do three runs a week." Yarvy works out what kind of goal it is and sets it up.

  • Achieve is a finish line, with a date and milestones. Run a 10k, save $2,000.
  • Habit is a rhythm, counted by the week. Read 5 nights a week.
  • Grow is a quality you build, kept as moments. Be more patient with the kids.

Habits count by the week

Pick a weekly target that leaves room for real life, like 5 nights instead of 7. Tap a day to check it off, or just mention it in chat ("read for 20 minutes last night") and Yarvy logs it for you.

A missed day is just a missed day. Wednesday off still leaves a good week.

It tells you straight where you stand

Every goal reads one of four ways, worked out from what you've actually done. No vague progress rings, and no judgment either.

New
The first two weeks. No verdict yet.
On pace
Doing what the goal needs.
Behind
Falling short for a while. Never from one bad day.
Stalled
Nothing has moved in a few weeks.

Two light weeks of runs, so the 10k reads "a little behind," with a way forward right under it.

When you slip, pick a way back

Tell Yarvy what happened, and it helps you pick the fix that fits. Nothing resets, your check-ins and milestones stay put, and one tap undoes any change.

Plan the next slip now

"If I miss a week, I'll do one easy 2k on Monday."
Decide today what you'll do when you miss. If-then plans like this help people follow through (Gollwitzer & Sheeran, 2006). Tell Yarvy, and it keeps the plan with the goal.

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. Free accounts also get 30 AI messages a month, and your first week usually comes with extra AI, with no card at signup. For more, Yarvy Plus is $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year, and Yarvy Pro is $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year.

How do I get back on track after falling behind?

Treat it as a slip, not a verdict. Work out what actually happened, then pick the restart that fits: move the date if the date was a guess, shrink the target if the goal stopped fitting your life, lighten just this week if it was a rough week, or pause if life needs everything you've got. Then do the smallest version today.

What happens in Yarvy 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 counts habits by the week, tracks bigger goals toward a date, links them 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.
