Chip Away

Chip Away turns big goals into something you can do today: show up once, fill a dot, build a streak.

Set a goal with a target or make it open-ended, then check in once a day. Each check-in fills a dot on your progress grid, so you see your consistency at a glance and your streak grow day by day.

It is built to stay out of your way: a couple of taps to check in. Notifications are optional.

What's New in v2.5.4

• Past attempts move into the goal's calendar heatmap: their days count toward it, and a red dot marks the day each streak ended, explained in the legend
• Fixed: a device that had not synced in a while could mark streaks that were still going as past attempts. Streaks are now checked once the first sync after launch finishes, and any streak marked this way repairs itself on the next sync
