Progress Tracking
Tracking progress is at the heart of Griply. Whether you’re working toward big goals or building small daily habits, Griply gives you multiple ways to see where you stand, reflect on your progress, and stay motivated over time.
You can track progress in three main places:
The Insights dashboard for a complete, big-picture view
The goal detail view for deep tracking of individual goals
The habit detail view for monitoring consistency and results
Insights Dashboard: Your Big-Picture View
The Insights dashboard gives you an overview of your progress across all goals and habits. It’s perfect for stepping back and seeing where you’re making progress and where you might need to refocus your efforts.
To open the dashboard:
Go to Insights in the sidebar.
Inside the dashboard, you’ll find:
Goal progress → shows completion percentages and tracked metrics
Habit statistics → shows success rates, total completions, and target progress
These insights are especially valuable for weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly reflections. They help you understand what’s working, adjust your priorities, and plan the next steps.
Switching Timeframes
At the top of the dashboard, four options scope everything on the screen:
W → This week
M → This month
Q → This quarter
Y → This year
These are calendar-aligned, so W means this calendar week rather than the last seven days.
Stepping back through history (Desktop). The < and > arrows next to the selector page back through previous weeks, months, quarters, or years, and every card re-scopes to the period you land on. This is what replaced the rolling windows. The forward arrow is disabled once you're on the current period.
iOS shows the current period only, with no back-navigation.
Hiding and Unhiding Insights
Want to keep your dashboard clean? You can hide goals or habits from the Insights dashboard without deleting them.
To hide a goal or habit:
On desktop → Right-click the goal or habit → Select Hide on Insights
On iOS → Long press the goal or habit → Tap Hide Insight
To show hidden insights again:
Click the filter icon at the top-right.
Enable Show hidden insights.
Right-click (desktop) or long-press (iOS) the goal or habit you want to bring back.
Select Unhide Insight.
Tracking Progress on Goals
Each goal in Griply has its own progress tracking. Open any goal detail view to see:
The goal’s main metric progress (e.g. money saved, kilometers run, clients called)
Individual subgoal progress charts if you’ve added measurable subgoals
Linked habits and their tracked progress directly inside the goal view
This makes it easy to see not just the big picture but also how smaller milestones and supporting habits are contributing to your overall goal.
Goal progress charts turn green at 100%, and the timeline stays readable on long goals, so a five-year goal doesn't compress into an unreadable strip.
To start tracking goal progress, you first need to add a goal metric when creating or editing a goal. See Creating & Planning Your First Goals for step-by-step instructions.
Tracking Progress on Habits
Habits have their own dedicated stats view, designed to help you stay consistent over time. For each habit, you can track:
Success rate: See what percentage of your scheduled habits you’ve completed
Total completions: See how many times you’ve done the habit
Target-based progress: If you’ve set a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly target, you’ll see exactly how close you are to hitting it
Perfect weeks: How many weeks you hit the habit every time it came up
What counts as a perfect week. For an every-day habit with a daily target, a perfect week means hitting that target on every day, not reaching the weekly total. A 10,000-steps-a-day habit needs 10,000 on all seven days, so 70,000 across the week with two zero days isn't a perfect week.
Updating Your Progress
Griply automatically updates your progress when you check off habits or complete tasks, but you can also manually update metrics when needed.
For goals: Update tracked metrics either from the goal detail view or directly on the Insights dashboard using the Update button.
For habits: Mark habits as done from the habits overview or the Insights dashboard month view.
On iOS widgets: You can also update both goal and habit progress straight from your home screen.
For a complete guide, see Updating Your Progress.
Pro Tips for Better Progress Tracking

Add measurable goal metrics wherever possible so your progress is visible and motivating.
