North Star: Goals & Habits
New Year's Resolutions tracker
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad
North Star helps you keep track of all of your goals — everything from landing your dream job to sticking with your New Year’s resolutions. Pick any combination of tools and track progress at your own pace.
- We support all types of goals -
Whatever it is that you want to achieve — ie., live healthier, buy a new car, learn to code, etc. — belongs in North Star.
- We’ll keep track of your progress and help you stay organized -
How do you currently keep track of your goals? Do you use different apps? Make mental notes? Write them down on a sticky note that ends up at the bottom of your pocket?
We’ve simplified the process by creating customizable tools — think of them as ‘‘mini apps’’ that you can activate:
- Habits: plan and track activities you want to do consistently
- Milestones: divide your goal into achievable steps
- Measures: track results over time to measure progress
- Planner: create to-do lists and set reminders
The app is fully functional even if you only activate one tool. You can create and track as many goals as you want. Your goals are separated into different views, each containing different sets of tools.
With North Star you’ll have more energy to achieve your goals.

- Performance fixes for iOS15
We were so honored to receive App of the Day in the US this month, so as a big "thank you," — we worked hard to get through our top-10 user-requested hot fixes before the end of the month. Keep the feedback coming, and we'll keep delivering!
Back by popular demand, we've moved the motivational quotes to the goal overview! And if you had missed our Tips and Tricks Quick-Reads before, we moved them to Settings, so they're more easily accessible.
We fixed the Planner tool for all of our high-powered go-getters, so you can now add infinite tasks! And finished a few minor tweaks that make the tool that much smoother. It's the little things that count :) Like being able to differentiate between tasks that have reminders set and those that do not.
We made it easier to change the colors of the graph for the Measures tool for all of our progress trackers.
We have had to pause our iCloud syncing capability due to issues with the third-party service we use. We promise it's better to put this on the back burner for now rather than inadvertently lose your entire goal history from a failed sync, which would be genuinely heartbreaking and totally out of our control.

We changed milestones from circles to our new favorite thing ever — squircles! This helps differentiate between milestones and habits.
And we fixed two bugs (big shoutout to Khoa for those finds)

THANK YOU to everyone who has sent us feedback and feature requests via the Feedback Tool in the app. Your feedback drives our roadmap (we had originally planned to build these features later on, and had no idea they were important to you until you told us!). Top two most recent requests are now live:
1) iCloud backup / sync — connect your account across multiple devices. And yes, that means support for devices other than iPhone is COMING SOON!
2) List view in the Measures Tool — full view of Measures history with the ability to edit past recordings.
We’re also really excited about the new ‘Inspiration & Tips’ feature available through the Tools Store.
And finally, a few minor updates to Settings:
- Switch between light/dark mode
- Share the app with friends or family
- Rate the app

Your to-dos in the Planner tool can now be deleted by swiping them to the left. Completed to-dos can also be deleted by swiping left, or marked as incompleted by swiping them to the right.
Instead of the 7-days trial before upgrading from the basic plan, you can now use the basic version for as long as you want with one goal. Adding additional goals requires that you upgrade to the full version.
We’d love to hear what you think about North Star and what you’d want to see added to the app. Don’t hesitate to reach out!
If you have enjoyed using North Star, few things make us happier than a good review on the App Store. What are your favorite features? We’re dying to know!
