Track daily goals, build streaks, and reach your targets one day at a time
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 v1.9.7
Launch and layout fixes:
- The app opens straight into your theme, instead of showing a white panel for the first second while it loads
- The empty state is centered again on wide windows, rather than sitting off to one side where the goal sidebar would go
- Narrow windows keep the app's own slim scroll indicator, instead of falling back to a full-height system scrollbar that ran behind the header
