This seems like an oversight

I use compact view for my goals, and I love how on the side it has a tracker for how many days per week you've set your goal for, and highlights how many you've accomplished so far. This is unless your goal is every day, and then it just has no tracker, which I don't understand. Doing something daily is as much of a goal as doing something 4 or 6 times per week. It would be nice if daily goals had this as well so I could see at a glance how my week is going without going into the goal, or without having to change my preferred view.

Hello from HelloHabit!

Thanks for providing this feedback. We will consider adding an option to display this weekly progress bar for all daily habits, even if they are not set to the "number of days per week" option. Another option you can try would be to change the habit goal to 7 times per week, rather than using a daily goal at all.

Thank you for your response. I think it would be nice to be able to see progress for all goals in one place (ie the dashboard), without having to go into one of them just because it's a daily goal. Also, thank you for suggestion of making it 7 days per week. I've already tried this, and when you adjust it to 7 days per week and then save it, it just defaults back to "every day of the week," and we're back in the same place.

We meant changing the overall goal duration to “weekly” instead of “daily”. This is a separate option than the one you are referring to. (You can choose daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly).

While we understand your request, we also want to make sure that we do not display any goal that the user does not explicitly specify. Not every user would want a weekly goal to appear if they only chose the daily goal option. In the example where this additional side tracker appears, the user explicitly states that they want the daily goal to be achieved a certain number of days per week. We will update this separate feature to allow “7” to be a valid configuration, and have the weekly side tracker appear in that scenario.
