Goal Trackers

We all know how a freestyle writing entry can be so chaotic that, looking back, it will be a mess to try and actually analyze progress and reflect on it. 

Having thought of this pain point, we are introducing Goal Trackers. With Goal Trackers, you can track anxiety, weight, steps, exercise, alcohol consumption, etc., making JournalOwl's digital diary more than a diary — a goal tracker and a diary simultaneously.
