What is Reddit's opinion of
Exist?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
69 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
So, I understand Exist.io to be the data aggregator itself. You manually enter things you want to track (what was my mood today?) and integrate other services (fitbit for step counts and sleep cycle tracking, weather APIs, last.fm for listening history, etc.) which then are analyzed in some fashion and result in observations and conclusions (you seem happier when it's sunny and you're able to get outside. you don't listen to much music when you're sad. etc.)
I'd expect a FLOSS alternative to do something similar; act as an aggregator, or at the very least, an analyzer. I already have InfluxDB and Grafana running, so I'd be fine with something that can take my existing datasets and use them. What I don't have are 1) a centralized place to track subjective things like mood, etc. for analysis, and 2) a system to actually analyze the data and draw conclusions like Exist.io does.
I'm not familiar with exist.io... I glanced at the home page. I've often thought about trying to task an AI with learning my routine and tell me what to expect. "Hey it's wednesday stupid! go buy milk!"
I'd assume you could aggregate the data on a dashboard, but what means are you going to use to collect it?
Hey, nice post! Thanks for putting in all the effort to explain how you use each of these. I like tracking films I want to watch, like a to do list, and I use Goodreads for book tracking. I love that Goodreads is in in integrated into the Kindle now.
In case anyone's interested in more options, I wrote a blog post recently looking at various apps for tracking media: https://exist.io/blog/media-apps/ (it includes some paid apps as well).
I'd recommend using a mood tracker of sorts, to see if there is a pattern or not.
I use exist.io because it offers other interesting correlations too, but there are a ton of free apps out there too.
Most fitness trackers measure movement during sleep times. They usually have wide margins of error and reports of "time spent in a particular sleep stage" are guesses, at best. This article has a pretty approachable explanation of how it works.
I use Exist because it pulls all your data, from all your different trackers (health, sleep, productivity, weight, food, even music listened to, etc) together and then gives you a comparative analysis of correlations between different habits.
I've used it consistently for 6 months now, and learned a bunch of interesting new stuff. For instance: If I eat too many carbs too late in the evening I tend to oversleep more frequently.
They send out a weekly email telling me how many hours I wasted that week. Not much more useful than a basic reminder. The main use is to actually log in and see my top list of how I spent my time a specific week, month or random time span.
Then I can make a concision decision about every site/app in, say, top 20 and decide how to deal with it. As a result, I have a block list in Cold Turkey with 13 sites that I block now and then.
By doing so I get a ton of spare time, and that's the difficult part. The smart thing to do is block it and not waste time writing this, but then I would have to do something productive and that's demanding. So here I am.
I've worn the Fitbit Force, Jawbone UP original and 24, Withings Pulse, and Misfit Shine. The best was the Fitbit Force, so I'd recommend waiting for the Fitbit Charge to arrive, which is basically an updated Force.
I've also collected a bunch of reviews and comparisons of trackers that might be useful to you: https://exist.io/blog/fitness-tracker-reviews/
I tried it with Apple Watch 6. I found it to be giving too much information. The feed that you get based on you day is not very actionable. You can try it for free and see for yourself.
You can check out https://exist.io/ it might be more suitable (and less expensive) for what you are looking for.
I found links in your comment that were not hyperlinked:

I've accidentally (was looking for a way to use my 4+ years of Jawbone data) found exist.io two weeks ago. Do far, I'm enjoying all integration they offer. Using this shameless referral link you can try it for free for 2 months:
From the article:
Following my conversation with ProtonMail’s CEO, another developer who’d been forced to abruptly add in-app purchases also told me she wasn’t willing to risk removing IAP quite yet, partly because the rules aren’t clear enough, and partly because of the arbitrary nature of Apple’s review.
“Even if it got approved, there’d be no guarantee that another reviewer in the future wouldn’t interpret the rules differently and reject the app, and force us to implement IAP all over again,” says Belle Cooper, co-developer of behavior-tracking app Exist.io.
I like the simplicity. It would be good to see which tracker you use (I am not sure if you kept it ambiguous on purpose). Have you heard of https://exist.io/ ? Any thoughts on which features will differentiate your platform?
Second this. I think that exist.io has room for improvement, for sure, but they have a roadmap on their site where you can request and follow new features. I love that it integrates with the Health app and allows for custom tracking tags. After realizing I had several apps on my phone all for specific purposes (migraine tracking app, period tracking app, medication tracking app, etc), I switched to Exist and love that everything is in one place. The other day, it told me that I get migraines more often on days where the air pressure is low. This may seem obvious to long time migraine sufferers but it was a great revelation to me and led me to set up IFTTT alerts when the air pressure is going to be low so I can avoid other triggers (thanks Exist!) that I've found for myself. The correlations is probably the feature that sets this service/app apart from everything else on the market.
Ah if you're on iOS you won't see payment options until your trial runs out, but you can see them anytime on the web.
You'll need to sign up with this link to get the longer trial. If you just signed up you can delete your account here and start again.
Anyone is welcome to use the link above to sign up and get the longer trial, too, as it doesn't expire. The referral link makes your trial 60 days instead of 30, and would normally give the referrer a discount if you end up paying but since I made the app that part won't apply 😏
I'm not sure if our mood tracking would be a good replacement for Daylio, but my app Exist includes custom tags so you can add a tag for every day you're menstruating (or separate tags for spotting, cramps, period, etc.) and we can help you correlate that to your mood. In future we'd like to sync menstruation data from other services like Apple Health so you don't have to rely on tags but we don't have an ETA on that yet.
Co-founder of Exist here. I think Exist would be a good fit for what you're looking for. I'm happy to answer any questions you have. You can also sign up via this referral link if you like, and you'll get two months free trial instead of one.
For an Apple user like yourself, we can sync the following from Apple Health (you can get this data into Apple Health any way you like, e.g. with Sleep Cycle or your Apple Watch):
- sleep \n* daily activity \n* workouts \n* weight \n* meditation sessions \n* heart rate \n* nutrition, water, caffeine
You can also create custom tags for anything you want to track that we don't cover. These are for binary on/off tracking, so they're handy for tracking habits or things like people you saw, activities or hobbies you did, places you went, emotions, days you work from home, medications, and so on.
And we have daily mood tracking, where you can rate your mood for the day and write a short note about what happened. That's the most journal-like part of Exist, but we also find trends, insights, and correlations in your data, so if you're after some analysis of all that data, it might be worth trying Exist.
Another option, especially if you're more interested in collecting all that data without analysing it, is to look into either using IFTTT with Day One, or using Slogger by Brett Terpstra if it still works. I haven't used it for years but Slogger is a series of scripts that pull data into Day One for you. I've used it and IFTTT with Day One before with pretty good results.
Here are some things I did to make myself more productive when working from home: https://exist.io/blog/time-wasters/
The most helpful one was working out what to do before sitting at my desk so I didn't waste time wondering what to work on.
Congrats on all the work you've done so far! I'm working on my first iOS app at the moment so I know what you mean about being embarrassed at first!
I've looked at/tried lots of habit apps in the past (I collected 28 for this blog post: https://exist.io/blog/habit-apps/) and I agree with your thoughts about "building the chain" apps. I prefer to have more flexibility when scheduling my new habits.
I'm curious about your decision to create Habitat. Did you not find any other apps that did what you wanted? Datalove and Loggr both offer more flexible tracking features like time and distance, rather than binary yes/no option, but they're not marketed as habit trackers, so maybe you've found a hole in the market there. Good luck with it!
Exist.io is very nicely done (though I'm not a big fan of the correlate all the things approach). It's also worth mentioning that they added an API not too long ago--a must for an "analytics platform" (even if it's just read-only for now).
This looks really promising. Two questions:
1.) Do you have plans to have integrated weather tracking based on location similar to how exist.io does it?
2.) Why the name Metriport? (Just curious)
Todoist for my tasks, Toggl/Activity Watch to track my time, Google Calendar integration with Todoist for timeblocking, Notion for documenting work stuff, my hobby stuff, saving websites, anything that can use databases, and a home dashboard I made linking to all my other productivity apps/areas, and then OneNote for notetaking because I use a mixture of typed, screenshots, and handwritten/highlighted notes when studying.
Then I tie this all together combined with my health data from my Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and MyFitnessPal into <strong>Exist.io</strong>'s dashboard and IFTTT integrations where tasks get automatically generated based on different things and I have a google spreadsheet with all my completed tasks.
I use
- Google fitness for blood pressure
- Fitbit for steps, sleep, weight (fitbit Aria), pulse, exercise etc
- Bearable for mood, energy, bowel movements, health problems like back pain etc
- Strong lifts for weight training
- Insight timer for meditation
- Chronometer for food
I really wished I had everything in one app and that it generated insight reports. Today I noticed that my bowel movements were type 1 on the bristol stool chart and realized it was because I ate french hot dogs yesterday and not my usual high fiber food. I would be cool to get an immediate notification like "Your recent bowel movements indicates a poor diet. You should consider eating more fibre in your next meal" and then show me papers of the latest research regarding bowel movements. I'm thinking of trying https://exist.io/ so I guess around their price range is reasonable if it's similar.
I use exist.io to aggregate data from several other services and find correlations.
It can automatically get data from something like RescueTime, which sees what you're doing on your computer and you configure what is productive and what isn't. It can also count Git commits or Todoist tasks completed, but I don't think those are a very useful metric.
It can also take data from iOS Health and the Android equivalent, so you can see how e.g. calories eaten, carbs, sugar, etc.
You also enter your mood, and you can add custom tags.
It has helped me figure out some stuff, like how sleeping more and going to bed earlier makes me more productive. I'm also more productive when I work out, though I'm not sure if that's due to working out, or more of a "I have extra energy so I manage to do more, including work out".
Though most of the correlations are obvious (I work more during the week than in weekends!), or not ideal (I get more done when I snack on junk while eating).
No problem, I love talking about this stuff :)
The best app I found for calendar integration is "Pencil Planner and Calendar Pro".
I've tried several apps that both allow Calendar integration and scribbling on top of that for more detailed planning, and this one seems to be the most feature-rich and actively maintained, though their roadmap is getting developed a bit slower than they say initially (though we know how it is with delays).
It's nowhere near as pretty as some GoodNotes templates, and it doesn't have fancy stuff like stickers yet, plus it has a subscription for some features instead of a one-time purchase, but I still like it.
Bonus useful app: MyScript calculator. Got some math to do? Pencil it here and it will give you the result, much more convenient than a calculator.
Another app you might like is something like LiquidText or MarginNotes. They basically allow you to extract chunks of PDFs or webpages and put them and other notes on a board on the side, with a link back to the original place in the document. I love the idea but I'm still trying to find a good use-case for them for non-students.
Other apps I use tend to be mainly on my iPhone though, stuff like Things 3, MyFitnessPal, Paprika, exist.io, Health Mate + Happy Scale, Auto Sleep, etc.
Hi!
No, It's not open source. I'm planning most like a micro-saas to connect with different to-do managers. Now it works with ToDoist, but I'll build integrations with Microsoft To-Do also.
For your project, do you know Exist.io? I think that maybe is something similar to look out
I'm the co-founder of Exist, which is an app that integrates data from lots of other places and helps you identify trends and correlations between all that data in one place. It supports menstrual cycle data from Apple Health if you're an iOS user, has built-in mood tracking (rating + note), custom tags, and can sync data like activity, weight, sleep, etc. from lots of sources. It doesn't have value-based tracking for medication yet, but you can use custom tags to tag days when you take different meds. It might not work if you want more info about your dosage or the time of day things happen, but if per-day info is useful enough to you, it will figure out if correlations exist and show them to you.
Yeah that's a great idea. Another user also raised the same issue some days ago. For the time being, would you mind using this community to talk about UX issues and feature requests? Just create a new post for each new piece of feedback. All of my users come from Reddit and most of them are not familiar with GitHub, but using a subreddit should be easier and closer to them.
After that I'm thinking that for feature requests we could use something like changemap.co? I've seen Exist.io using that and I found it pretty useful.
The data you put in and analysis of movement metrics and heartrate.
For example, if it knows your height and weight, when you go for a brisk walk it can detect the walking motion and rough speed, sometimes including GPS data, then combine height + weight + type of activity = decent approximation of calories burned.
For sleep, it detects position (you lying down), the types of motion, and heart rate, and can make educated guesses about when you were sleeping.
Here's a really detailed look at the sleep data interpretation: https://exist.io/blog/fitness-tracker-sleep/
I was recently diagnosed with BPD after a lifetime of anxiety and depression, and I feel like I finally have a frame that fits my life and makes sense. It helps me understand that there are reasons behind what's happened in my life that aren't just "You are bad and you fuck up everything good," which was the story I have told myself all these years.
Also, I know what you mean about not feeling sick sometimes and like you're acting or being dramatic. Do you journal? I use an app called Exist.io to keep track of my moods, and it's been helpful for me to see that I'm genuinely not acting-- I just cycle in and out of terrible depression and anxiety, and when I'm not feeling that way it feels less real. But that doesn't mean it actually WAS less real.
Sharing vulnerable things with someone who is trained to help you can be such a relief. I hope your new provider is kind and open with you. I'm excited for what's next for you, and sending you big hugs.
I just looked it up just to make sure, and apparently there is a desktop app for Last FM that you can link to desktop iTunes/Apple Music (I assume it works the same way as on a phone - just link them up and scan) https://exist.io/blog/lastfm/#:~:text=For%20your%20iTunes%20tracks%20to,you%20can%20adjust%20your%20preferences.
I've found that it doesn't need to be so rigorous! Even with the 80 metrics I track, it takes me 5 minutes a night (and that's almost a mindfulness check-in for myself).
However, tracking metrics doesn't have to be in such large quantities either! Even tracking 1 metric can be helpful for achieving certain goals, and after a month of tracking several metrics, you have enough data to draw meaningful statistically significant conclusions with correlation analysis.
Yes, I've tried Exist.io. I'm very impressed with their integrations and their company values. I think their data vis + insights could be a bit better, but nonetheless, it's an incredibly valuable tool for those that have a lot of QS data.
Would love to see your app! Really curious to see how environmental sustainability is a part of it, I haven't seen that in many other quantified-self aggregators.
Amazing post! I wish this process was more easily palpable and standardizable for everyone. Rigorous life-logging and tracking can be very difficult and I think very few have the luxury and patience for it. Kudos to you for paving the way! Have you heard of Exist.io - they aim to combine comprehensive and varied metrics similar to you and also provide correlations! I'm also working on a self-improvement app myself. It is not as comprehensive for lifelogging though and I would think of it as a Fitbit for general goals, improving yourself, and also the planet. Ping me if you're interested in using it! Cheers.
Not getting sleep probably messes with your reaction time and all that. Even when learning an instrument or new language, getting sleep between practice sessions helps to retain the skills gained. (Link to an article on the subject.) Sometimes stepping away, getting some food, taking a walk, getting some good sleep will help your game out tremendously.
I always play with a 5 lives system. If I lose 5 times, I stop for an hour or more. If I win 4 games, I gain a life. It helps a whole lot. I've gone from Gold 1 up to Plat 2+ in a couple of months playing like this.
In general avoid all fried food and spicy food. Beyond that you're going to have to keep a journal with everything you eat and log when you get symptoms. If you really want to go deep, log your food in the fitbit app and get this app called exist.io which can be setup to automatically take your data from fitbit and integrate it with data you enter into exist every (which would be if you got symptoms that day or not) and it will tell you where the correlations are from fiber, fat, carbs, calorie intake, and literally anything else you want to keep track of.
Sanvello is primarily intended for mental health stuff but you can customize what you want to track with the premium version. I used it for awhile and saw how my mood correlated with my caffeine intake. You can also write notes and share with your doctor (I didn't do that).
There's an app called Exist that is really really detailed and customizable. I found it to be a little TOO much to keep up with but perhaps it's what you're looking for.

>Photoplethysmography. It’s essentially testing how much red or green light it can see when looking at the skin on your wrist. Blood is red because it reflects red light and absorbs green light, so when your heart beats, there’s more blood flow in your wrist, and more green light absorption. Between heart beats, there’s less absorption of green light.

I use exist.io and it does exactly the kind of stuff you seem to be interested in, finding interesting correlations in your data and, optionally, weather.
Alternatively, export from HealthKit and put it in a spreadsheet.

Its been going for a while and its great from binary tracking (ie did alcohol effect my sleep). It doesnt currently have the ability to track custom numerical data (so you cant answer the question 'does 2 drinks effect my sleep more than 1 drink?'. They have said they plan to add this sometime in 2020, if they do then exist.io would become a solid recommend.

I doubt there is a single app for all of these, at least not one that's convenient to use on the watch.
This one has a subscription, but I currently use exist.io on my phone to pull data out of Health, and I write data in Health with several other apps to write to Health that are on the watch (e.g. WaterMinder), or Siri Shortcuts (e.g. to log weight, and you can also set up Siri with custom logging in exist.io to add stuff that isn't in Health, like throwing up). I also use MyFitnessPal, which has a watch app, but I prefer using it on mobile.
I like that it not only shows me data, but also tries to find correlations, also integrates other services, and seems to value privacy.
No, I haven't. I've only used exit.io for a few days, so it haven't collected enough data yet. I also haven't found anything to track my sleep and the food I eat.
I thought about writing the food as custom tags in exist.io but I'm afraid of getting too many tags and not being able to find them. I would ideally like to also get the nutritional information such as vitamins and so on inside exist.io but it seems like It isn't possible.
I mean it'll depend on how accurate you want your dataset to be for your specific use case. For people who want the "broad strokes" of some of the relationships between aspects of their lifestyle, I'm sure a dataset that isn't perfectly clean is acceptable.
For me, a dashboard on its own isn't useful unless it can either 1) overlay the different sources of data on top of each other for visual inference; or 2) make the statistical correlations on its own, with a reasonable degree of certainty and an acceptable margin of error. Otherwise, I could just open up each separate app one at a time and wrack my brain trying to keep everything straight. Not time I'm willing to invest, unfortunately.
I'm just surprised that besides Exist.io, no dashboards seem to broadly advertise the ability to run simple correlations. It baffles me, considering we're gathering discrete data points related to very specific lifestyle areas using each of the different apps.
I checked out your post and it's something I wish that an app did!
In a dashboard app, I should be able to select two variables (ex: wake up time vs mood) and compare them for a given day or week or month. A tracking app should help you spot trends, not just function as a data repository, right? What's the point in digitizing the information if you can't then use the information to compare the variables you're interested in?
Exist.io has this select-two-variables function so I think I'm going to just see how it does over the month but I'm still on the hunt for other solutions.
We don't support HRV yet but we pull lots of other stats from Apple Health into Exist, which you can compare to your mood and you can use our custom tags for habit tracking. This blog post explains how custom tags can be used for habit tracking and gives some examples of correlations I've found in my own habit data alongside mood, activity, and productivity data. And if you look at this page and click on Apple Health, you'll see all the data attributes we support syncing for.
Detecting sleep versus awake is very easy to do with actigraphy (sleep detection based on body movement). So Oura's detection of awake/asleep should be highly accurate.
Although given that there are recording gaps, I do recommend trying the ring on a different finger, so that it fits better and gets more accurate recordings.
One thing to keep in mind with awake periods during the night is that we almost always don't remember them. Almost every sleep cycle ends with a "brief awakening", which might last less than a minute, or several minutes, or more. We are unlikely to be able to recall most of these brief awakenings. So our recollections of whether we were awake or not are much less reliable than a sleep recording device's records of asleep/awake states.
The awake periods in your hypnogram there are somewhat longer than I would expect for a healthy sleeper. As someone else mentioned, sleep apnea may be a factor.
> is there some service or something, where people could anonymously upload their data and compare it with others?
Have a look at Exist.io. Their service does the kinds of comparisons that you mention.
You want me to prove that these apps DONT have the capabilities to monitor brainwaves, full body movement, heart rate and oxygen levels to accurately analyse your sleep pattern?
I thought this was already common sense but ok, I'll find a few links for you.
https://www.inverse.com/article/29218-do-sleep-apps-work
https://exist.io/blog/sleep-tracking/
Now by all means, post some links that prove that they DO accurately detect deep/light/rem sleep stages.
There is Google Fit but it's not comparable to Apple HealthKit in its capabilities from what I've read/seen. Eg it doesn't integrate with Oura directly and when I tried syncing it with fitnesssyncer it didn't work that well. This could be reason enough to look at an iPhone for my next phone (I'm indifferent between the two platforms otherwise) but until then I might try exist.io and write my own integrations using their API + oura's API (hopefully not too tough?)
If your data is supported, Exist.io does a good job of looking for arbitrary correlations in your data. Personally, I've had better luck coming up with hypotheses first, and then using my existing data (or new data from a somewhat controlled experiment) to sort out what factors are significant, and which aren't.
To me, a big downside is availability of APIs. This isn't exist.io's fault, but it is a technical limitation that any webservice would have.
As a more concrete example, I want to track my location. I always have my phone's location on, and Google is really good at guessing where I've been. However, there's no public API for location history: It's only something you can manually download.
>exist.io
yeah damn exist.io seems like the perfect solution that already exists. as in, there's no need for any other productivity software ever. what are some of its downsides?
Fitness trackers have lots of downsides when it comes to accuracy. They're useful for seeing changes in the data, but not so much for an accurate absolute measurement.
I wrote a blog post a while ago about how Fitbit, Jawbone UP, and Apple Watch track heartrate and what the downsides are. I didn't look into chest straps but I wouldn't be surprised if they were more accurate.
I wrote a similar post a few years ago about how fitness trackers measure sleep and found that compared to higher quality sleep lab equipment, they're fairly inaccurate. But again, to discover changes in your data they can still be useful.
Historically I've set big, unrealistic goals, which inevitably end up feeling overwhelming and lose steam pretty quickly. Over the past few years I've been pretty busy and have gotten out of touch with myself fitness-wise. I'm not particularly out of shape or overweight, but I don't have a good mental picture of my abilities any longer. So, my main goal for 2019 is to refocus that picture in order to make more informed decisions in the future.
To do that, I decided on a mechanic that will be super easy for me to complete: track everything. In this system "everything goes" as long as I note it down. I hypothesize that even though I'm not putting restrictions on how much I'm eating, or how often I'm working out, the act of recording what I'm doing will encourage me to make better choices.
January was my pilot month and I'm happy to say that it's working really well so far. I made it to 3 workouts/week, I've spent significantly more time walking my dogs, and I am more aware of the calories I'm putting into my body (sweets and alcohol have taken a huge nosedive.) I recorded meals, exercise, sleep, and mood/notes every day.
I'm using a garmin + myfitnesspal for most of the data collection, feeding it into an app called Exist.io for data analysis and other inputs like mood, energy levels, etc.
For February I want to keep this momentum going and find a way to work more yoga into my schedule. I'm not sure what that'll look like quite yet, but it should only take a slight re-shuffle.
I participate in a few other daily/monthly threads in other subs and I really enjoy the accountability that comes with regular posting. Looking forward to getting to know you!
​
I don't know much about working with fit files, but there seems to be some information on the thisisant forum.
What I can suggest is connecting your Garmin account with exist.io and using their export, which will give you some nice JSON files (it is paid, but there is one free month).
Sorry for the long delay replying. I struggle with social media. :)
What I do with the data is mostly flip through it occasionally to eyeball whether (a) I'm spending time in alignment with my goals and (b) there's an obvious piece that's not working.
I also use Exist.io to help me spot any correlations with other factors in my life.
To be more specific, I might note that if my day of was intended for relaxation, how much offline time has there actually been? Am I getting sucked into project work to "just do one quick thing"? Or, are my non-work tasks spilling into project time?
Over this year, I've actually found myself trying to disengage a bit from tracking to force a particular outcome and shift toward tracking to observe behaviour reflect on the big picture. I'm exploring totally outside my comfort zone at the moment, and that's required a radical change in outlook.
In the two months since your question, have you had any better luck with taking Wednesdays off?
In the
Exist co-founder here. Just wanted to mention that we just launched custom tracking, which might help fill the gaps in the data you want included. It lets you track as a binary anything you can think of, just by tagging your day with tags you create yourself. There's some more info on use-cases and how it works here: https://exist.io/blog/introducing-custom-tracking/
We just launched a new feature in Exist (https://exist.io) that might solve this for you. It's called custom tracking: https://exist.io/blog/introducing-custom-tracking/
Exist is designed to find correlations and trends for you in your data. We have a daily mood rating feature that lets you add a short note and rate your day from 1-5, and we connect to lots of other apps via APIs. But with custom tracking you can now create tags to track anything you want, and you just add those tags on the days they apply. The app will find correlations for you without you doing anything after you've got enough data in your account.
Just wondering, are you struggling with Strikethru or is it just not right for you?
You could maybe combine it with some Bullet Journaling...Belle Beth Cooper writes about her hybrid system here
Also, have another look at Trello...I've set it up to use Strikethru to tackle my work to-dos and it works well for office type tasks...obviously you're not striking through anything...unless you fancy taking a sharpie to your screen ;-)
Personally I stick to one new habit at a time. In my experience, trying to build more than one new habit means I don't focus enough on any of them to make them so strong I do them without thinking.
I've written a bit about my approach to building one at a time, and also how to add new ones when that first habit is already strong (see the section on stacking habits).
You could try DataLove on iOS, which lets you log time or other amounts (km you run, songs played, etc), though I don't think it has a goal aspect to it. For some goal/habit-focused alternatives, I wrote a list recently of a bunch of different ones: https://exist.io/blog/habit-apps/
