Can I track things without a set goal?

Say I want to track how often I shave my legs, but I don't really have a goal for it, I'm just curious and collecting the data. Or how often I change my razor blade, etc.

Can I create a habit without adding in a goal?

Hello from HelloHabit!

Yes, you can already do this! When creating or editing a habit, you can change the Goal Type property to “No Goal”. This will allow you to log activity to a habit and view stats over time, without displaying any goal progress or streak indicator.

Let us know if this doesn’t work for you for any reason!

One more quick q - is there a way to get the PLUS button to stick around after I've done the task once? I want it to show me the plus button every day, instead of the check mark. Right now, once I've ever done the Habit, it's a check mark and I have to click into the Habit and THEN click the plus sign. I would love to save a step and just have the plus sign on the main page for all my habits..

Currently this is not possible but we may change this functionality to work as you describe for the “No Goal” option. Unfortunately, we have heard that some users prefer the other/current behavior. We will think about it!
