The app currently indicates goal progress with a red dot on the activity in the main screen. While functional, this feedback is too passive as it only surfaces when you actively open the app, and even then it's easy to miss because opening the app is typically a focused action (switching the current activity) rather than a moment of reflection on daily goals.
The result is that goals are set but rarely acted on. There's no mechanism that reaches out proactively to say "you're behind on this goal today."
Proposed solution
Add one or more ways for the app to surface goal progress outside of the main activity list, so the information is visible at the right moment - ideally when there's still time to act on it.
Two approaches from existing discussions would both address this well:
FEAT: goal reminder #415: A push notification with a set reminder. I would also propose proactive notifications when a goal is at risk (e.g. you've logged less than X% of the target duration with Y hours left in the day).
Progress bar goal widgets #344: A progress bar widget that shows goal completion at a glance without opening the app. This is more ambient - always visible, low friction.
Both can coexist and serve slightly different use patterns: notifications are active interruptions, while a widget is a passive reference. Implementing either one would already be a meaningful improvement; implementing both would give users full control over how they want to be reminded.
