Strides: Habit Tracker + Goals 16.1

version 16.1

Feb 4, 2024
Version 16.1
Following up the Big Goal Small Steps update to show your project's milestone subtasks and notes on the watch and desktop. Also improved the Create Tracker button and fixed a few bugs.

version 16.0

Jan 22, 2024
Version 16.0
New: Milestone subtasks and notes! Now you can break down your big project goal into milestones, then divide a milestone into small steps with the new Milestone Checklist feature. You can also add notes to individual milestones and automatically sort them however you like to keep your projects neat and organized.

Some of you have asked for the option to log your progress with more precision than 5% increments, like 33% or 67%. Now you can tap the current percentage and type any number you want.

Oh, and any number that you're editing throughout the app is now highlighted so you don't have to delete the old one then type the new one.

We also added a hide keyboard button to keep the screen clutter-free when reading long notes.

Lots of little improvements and fixes in this one too. Hope you're having a great start to 2024!

version 15.12.1

Dec 26, 2023

Fix for the Log Target or Average Tracker feature in Shortcuts, updated the Project tracker example with the new design changes, and improved long-press menu icons.

Last update: Lots of improvements to get ready for the new year...and a big new update to the Project tracker! Small widgets are interactive now too, added new app icon badge setting, improved milestone pace tracking and polished the Project tracker UI in preparation for the new feature in development. The Archived filter now defaults to alphabetical sorting to make archived trackers easier to find. Improved reordering trackers, fixed a caching issue with per log averages, solved a translation error and tweaked some formulas. Can't wait to release Strides 16.0!

Also fixed an issue on certain versions of macOS that couldn't edit reminder times. Can't wait to release Strides 16.0!

version 15.10.1

Oct 18, 2023
Version 15.10.1
Fixed a bug causing Apple Health trackers to show higher values than they were supposed to. Sorry about that!

version 15.9

Sep 14, 2023
Version 15.9
Improved dark mode design, added more Apple Health trackers (Weight, BMI, Body Fat Percentage, Waist Circumference and Toothbrushing), and due today widget in smaller size. Also added interactive widgets and refresh button for health trackers, and fixed several bugs.

version 15.8

Aug 13, 2023
Version 15.8
NEW: Group by Tag, Sorting and improved Trends Report!

1. Group by Tag: The Progress Report can now be viewed with each tag in its own table with the Group by Tag option in the Filters view. This makes it easier to see how you're doing on big picture goals you're tracking with multiple sub-goals, high-level values or areas of life, like health, relationships, home or finances. Each tag has its own group go trackers with an Average Progress value and X/Y on track reporting. Tap a tag's header to collapse the table to quickly see them all.

2. Sorting: Open the Filters views from the Today or Reports tabs, then tap the Sort icon in the top right. You can sort by the Manual order you're used to or by Status, Due Time, Progress: Low to High, Progress: High to Low, or Alphabetical. You can even combine these new features and sort each tag's goals however you want.

3. Improved Trends Report: It's a lot easier to see how your goals are trending over time now! Rather than focusing on the Tracker Completion Rate, the Target and Project trackers now show the change in the report's time frame so you can quickly compare the progress you're making by week, month or year. Average trackers still show how often they were successful based on their goals, and now you can see how this week/month compares to the last one so you can keep improving. Habit trackers are now focused on how many times they were done instead of days they were moved to Done on the Today tab, which was a common request. Scrolling past the chart shows more of the new trends table now, and you can long-press to log from there too.

That's all for now. Enjoy!

version 15.7.1

Jun 7, 2023
Version 15.7.1
Goal Plan! Strides now keeps your streak and stats as you increase your goal over time so you can start small and gradually build up to keep challenging yourself...without breaking your past streak and success rate. You can also schedule future goal changes with the Goal Plan feature, so you can plan it out upfront and the app will handle the rest for you. Keep making strides!

This update also fixes sync errors.

version 15.6

Mar 26, 2023
Version 15.6
Now when you're within 20% of your goal/pace the Progress Report will show a red-to-orange gradient bar so you know you're almost there. Just a little push and you'll be on track with a satisfying green bar. :)

It's also super easy to backlog a once a day habit now. Just add a new habit with a goal of 1 time per day and choose a date in the past and you can instantly backlog every day since then to keep your streak going without having to manually track all those days.

version 14.7.1

Jul 18, 2022 Version 14.7.1
Fixed performance issue from last update for long-term Average trackers.

version 14.6

May 3, 2022 Version 14.6
Following up performance improvements with streak calculation fixes.

version 14.4

Apr 21, 2022 Version 14.4
New Average tracker setting: Move to Done. For daily average goals you can now change from when logged to when goal is met so you can log throughout the day and it will stay due until your goal is reached. You can also consider only the last X logs, days, weeks, months or years for your average now. Rather than limiting the rolling average option to only per log goals it works with all time periods. Made a couple other formula improvements, fixed a few bugs and improved background refresh.

version 14.3

Apr 3, 2022 Version 14.3
Plan ahead: You can now swipe the daily goals calendar to view future dates for planning your day. This update also has a ton of performance improvements to prevent crashes and make things even faster. If you spot any issues please submit a bug report through the help center so we can fix it for you quickly. Also, if you haven't checked out the new Mac app yet just search Strides on the Mac App Store to download it for free.

version 14.0

Jan 30, 2022 Version 14.0
The iPad app now has standard sidebar navigation and modern controls to make everything work seamlessly across all of your devices. It's easier to set your trackers to be due on weekdays or every X days, weeks, months or years now too. You might notice some performance improvements as well, and your charts will update in real-time when new data is synced from other devices. Also included a few fixes and localization improvements.

version 13.4

Jan 12, 2022 Version 13.4
How is 2022 going for you so far? Hope it's off to a great start! We're kicking off the year with some improvements to the widgets and notifications, light/dark mode settings, and how we display charts and streaks that are 100's or even 1,000's of days. Keep up the great work! :)

version 13.3

Dec 19, 2021 Version 13.3
Happy New Year! One last update to round out the year and prepare for 2022.

Strides is now available in 10 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Russian and Brazilian Portuguese! This update adds Traditional Chinese, and fixes a small wording issue on the habit charts.

version 13.1

Dec 3, 2021 Version 13.1
Japanese! Strides is now available in Japanese, with more languages on the way.

This update also includes a fix for the subtitle showing incorrect Goal Streak values.

version 13.0

Nov 28, 2021 Version 13.0
Spanish! Strides is now available in Spanish, with more languages on the way.

This update also includes a fix for a rare issue causing lag with lots of archived trackers.

version 12.5

Nov 14, 2021 Version 12.5
The habit calendar now shows future dates in gray to make it easier to tell which days can be logged. Also fixed an issue with traveling across time zones.

version 12.4.2

Nov 1, 2021 Version 12.4.2
The long-press menu now shows when the tracker is due to save steps. Also fixed an issue causing the History tab to show tomorrow's date.

version 12.4.1

Oct 27, 2021 Version 12.4.1
Fixed a bug with the History tab not showing some logs after Daylight Savings Time change.

version 12.4

Oct 14, 2021 Version 12.4
Notifications are now "Time Sensitive" so you'll still get reminders for your goals during Focus sessions. Also including a couple fixes with the last update.

version 12.2

Oct 11, 2021 Version 12.2
New and improved onboarding tooltips to make it even easier to start setting goals and tracking your progress.

version 12.1

Sep 26, 2021 Version 12.1
We're keeping the momentum and releasing another new feature, only a week after the big 12.0 update: Log with Notes. For those habits that require some extra details you'd like to record for future reference with each log, enable this setting to automatically show the Notes field while logging. That'll save you the extra step of swiping left afterward.

This release also comes with an improvement to the average charts, a crash fix and a dark mode improvement.

version 12.0

Sep 19, 2021 Version 12.0
New features: Skip and Due After Goal Met! Sometimes there's a legitimate reason you can't do your habit (like when you're sick) or log one of your goals (it's tough to log your weight when you stay in a hotel room with no scale). Now, you can swipe left and tap Skip so that tracker won't count for the day! It won't affect your Perfect Day, and none of its stats will consider the skipped date, including Reports.

For habits, you can also long-press a date in the calendar chart to log yes, log no or skip. For weekly/monthly habits, you can also enable the new Due After Goal Met option if you want to be encouraged to keep doing the habit after the goal has been met. By default a habit is hidden for the rest of the week/month after the goal is reached, but with this option you can keep seeing it, and skip without penalty if you don't want to be an overachiever. :)

This update also improved the habit add log view, and added log yes, log no and skip options when long-pressing a habit calendar date. This update also made it easier to tell which date is selected in the calendar, and comes with several fixes.

Enjoy!

version 11.7.2

Aug 1, 2021 Version 11.7.2
Fixed a caching issue that caused habit tracker widgets to not update after tracking progress in the app. Big update coming soon!

version 11.7.1

Jul 1, 2021 Version 11.7.1
Quick follow-up to the habit calendar logging and performance update to fix some crashes before the next feature release.

version 11.7

Jun 27, 2021 Version 11.7
Several improvements to the Habit tracker: Now you can tap a habit's calendar to instantly log your progress on that date! This makes it extremely fast to backlog several days at once, and all the charts update in real-time. To pull that off we also made some big changes to make the habit tracker even faster. Plus, for any habits you do multiple times per day you'll now see a circle chart for each day so you know how well you've done, as opposed to just seeing whether you succeeded or not. For bad habits, the calendar's circles now default to green, and adding new Yes logs will update them to red if you go over your max for the day. Can't wait for you to see the next new feature!

version 11.6.1

Jun 10, 2021 Version 11.6.1
History tables now show blank rows on all Due dates to make it easier to backlog. Just tap a row that says not logged to add a log with that date selected automatically.

You can also tap a date in the Habit's calendar under Charts to add a log on that date. In the next update that will add the log instantly.

version 11.5

May 23, 2021 Version 11.5
New and improved History and Add Log views, plus Milestone logs! It's now easier than ever to log progress on your goals, with notes included right on the log view. You can also add notes and backlog/edit Milestone logs for Project trackers. Pro tip: If you want to quickly log a Habit while looking at its charts, tap a date in the calendar to show the log view with that date selected. Speaking of dates, you can now edit the date and time of any log. One last thing: Check out the goal setting course in Settings!

version 11.4.4

Apr 22, 2021 Version 11.4.4
Preparing for milestone log history. Big update to History views coming very soon!

version 11.4.4

22 Apr 2021 Version 11.4.4
Preparing for milestone log history. Big update to History views coming very soon!

version 11.4

Mar 28, 2021 Version 11.4
Made it even easier to create custom goal & habit trackers! Choosing from four types is simpler and faster, and it looks nicer too. :)

Also improved editing tracker names and simplified deleting milestones from a project. Speaking of milestones, we've gotten lots of feedback over the years about the complexity that the Milestone Weight system adds to the experience, so we removed it in this update since it didn't add enough value to justify the extra work it took to manage. The only thing it changed was the calculation of one progress bar, and most projects are broken into similarly-weighted milestones anyway, or they can be. So, we're simplifying setup and project management. No more having to adjust all the weights after every milestones change!

version 10.0.1

Hope you're enjoying the new Progress Reports feature! This is just a quick follow-up release with some fixes for a few things that slipped through the cracks during beta testing. Keep making strides!

version 10.0

Jul 26, 2020 Version 10.0
Added the long-awaited Progress Reports feature! The Dashboard has evolved into Reports, which adds Average Progress and tabs for Trends (weekly, monthly & yearly), Calendar (all-time) and Rankings by Streak.

Note: We removed the old Dashboard status icons. We kept them for more than a year after the Today view was added as the primary way to log, but we had to remove them for the new Reports view. It cleans up the interface quite a bit, giving more room for your tracker names and progress bars. The majority of trackers are daily so it's easy to tell if they've been logged for the day, but if you need to check you can either (a) tap the Today tab to see what's due, or (b) use the Due Today filter at the top of the Reports view to focus on what's due. Tip: You can still swipe to log from the Reports view.

Also, every report can be filtered by tag so you can see how you're doing on your health habits, money goals, etc. It's a really powerful way to get deeper insights. Enjoy!
