Household Goals Tracking

Break a longer aim into phases and tasks, write updates as you go, and flag a goal when it has gone too long without an update.

Your first two tools have no monthly charge. Each tool after that is $2 a month.

Goals Tracking

Create goals by category, track progress with phases and tasks, and get reminders when updates are due.

Track longer household goals

Household Toolbox keeps this with your other household records under one account.

What you can track

  • Create goals by category

    Start from categories such as home, finance, health, career, and personal, or add your own.

  • Break a goal into phases and tasks

    Phases and tasks show progress as tasks are completed.

  • Log updates

    Add an update note and attach photos or other evidence to that update.

  • Set an update reminder

    Choose how many days can pass without an update. The goal is flagged in the app when that reminder is overdue.

  • Keep standing documents on the goal

    Attach plans or other files to the goal itself, separate from update files.

  • Pin a goal date to the calendar

    Add the goal to the household dashboard calendar.

  • Export goals

    Export a PDF of the goals you choose.

How It Works

  1. Step 1

    Add the goal

    Name it, put it in a category, and attach any standing documents.

  2. Step 2

    Add phases and tasks

    Split the work so progress is visible as tasks are checked off.

  3. Step 3

    Post updates

    Write an update when something changes, and set a reminder if you want a nudge after quiet stretches.

Goals that take more than a checklist

Goals Tracking is for work that unfolds over time. One-off tasks fit better in To Do List.

  • Home projects with several steps
  • Savings or other financial goals
  • Health goals you want to update
  • Career or personal aims
  • Plans and documents that belong with the goal
  • A reminder when a goal has gone quiet

Frequently asked questions

Can I break a goal into steps?

Yes. A goal can have phases and tasks. Progress is based on the tasks you mark complete.

Can I write updates as a goal moves along?

Yes. Update history stores notes, and each update can have its own photos or files.

What does the reminder do?

You can set how many days may pass without an update. If that time passes, the goal is flagged in the app. This is not an email or phone notification.

Can I attach a plan or policy to the goal?

Yes. Standing files stay on the goal. Files that belong to one update stay on that update.

Can I export my goals?

Yes. You can export a PDF of the goals you choose.
