Never ship a broken app again. Stop losing track of what needs to be done and missing critical steps before launch. Milestones: Project Tracker is the essential tool for developers, students, and solo founders to plan their projects, track their progress, and ship with confidence — on iPhone and iPad. Whether you're building your first iOS app or juggling multiple side projects, Milestones keeps everything organised from your first idea all the way to your App Store launch. KEY FEATURES: Built-in App Store Checklist: Every iOS App project automatically gets a pre-launch checklist covering everything from setting up your App ID to configuring your paywall. Milestones helps ensure every item is ticked off before you go Live. Milestone Tracking: Break every project into milestones with their own checklists and progress bars. Watch your progress build as you get closer to launch. Momentum Check-ins: Check in on your projects daily to keep them moving. Milestones flags projects that have gone quiet so nothing falls through the cracks. Activity Log: Add timestamped notes to every project so you always know where you left off. Your build journal lives right alongside your milestones.
