I love tracking time with Toggl! I also love to set weekly and monthly goals for important activities like coding or learning a new language. I wanted to see my daily, weekly and monthly progress towards these goals, so I've created Hours app. THIS APP ONLY WORKS IF YOU HAVE A TOGGL ACCOUNT You could create goals for specific clients or projects and set time goals for days, weeks and months. Weekly and monthly goals could be calculated based on daily goals or you could set them manually. You could start timers for a particular goal by tapping on it - timers you've used most this week will be shown immediately, other timers are just one tap away. This app is made to improve your current results, so you could see results only for current periods. Results for previous periods you could find on Toggl site. I hope Hours app will help you achieve all your time goals!

Tired of motivational quotes that don’t work? Failure gives you the push you actually need—by yelling at you like an immigrant mom, coach, or drill sergeant. Whether you’re slacking on the gym, procrastinating on work, or just need someone to hold you accountable, Failure delivers brutally honest reminders that cut through your excuses. Features: - Choose your voice: strict mom, savage coach, or playful threat. - Daily reminders that make you laugh and feel guilty enough to act. - Set habits, track progress, and get called out when you fall behind. - Share your “failures” with friends (if you’re brave enough). Failure isn’t polite. It isn’t gentle. But it works. Terms of Use: https://failureapp.com/legal/terms-of-service
