Hey Product Hunt! š
A few months ago I sat down and asked myself ā what have I actually been doing with my time?
I had a list of goals. Big ones. Learn this, build that, improve this skill. But when I looked back, I couldn't tell you how many hours I'd actually put in. I felt busy every day but had nothing to show for it visually.
So I built Goal Story for myself.
I wanted something that would show me the truth ā not just "did I do it today?" but "how many hours have I given this goal in my lifetime?" That number changes how you feel about your work.
Now when I open my dashboard and see my heatmap, my streaks, my cumulative hours - I feel something. Pride. Accountability. Momentum.
Here's what Goal Story does:
šÆ Set goals & break them into tasks ā Add a goal with a deadline, then create mini tasks under it. Each task is something you can actually sit down and do.
ā±ļø Built-in focus timer ā Each task has a time target. The timer runs while you work, so you log real hours ā not estimates.
š„ Streaks & heatmaps ā See a full-year heatmap of your consistency. Missing a day has never felt so expensive.
š Charts that tell the truth ā Bar charts, cumulative lines, and donut charts show exactly where your time goes across every goal.
š Journal every session ā Write what you worked on, what clicked, and how you felt. Every session has a story.
I'm a solo builder. This started as a personal tool on my laptop. I decided to ship it publicly because I figured ā if I needed this, someone else probably does too.
It's completely free. No credit card. Just show up and track your story.
Would love to know ā what does your current goal tracking system look like? š
