Little by Little's Today screen on iPhone (sample data). Eat healthy: Eat healthy twice a day, 1 of 2 today; Drink water, 3 of 8. Lose 10 lb: 60%, 179 lb now, target 175 lb, with Work out (weekly, 2 of 3) and Walk (daily, done). Read 12 books: 25%.
How Little by Little works

Set it up once. Then one tap a day.

Big goals are reached the same way every time: by doing small things, again and again.

  1. Write down a goal

    Give it a name, an end date if you want one, and a line about why it matters. Writing down why makes you more likely to stick with it.

  2. Add small actions

    The things you’ll do to get there: every day, a few times a week or month, or a total amount, like 8 glasses of water a day.

  3. Tap when you do it

    Today shows what’s due. One tap logs it, the bar fills up, and you can see the progress add up.

Today

Everything for today, on one screen

Each goal shows the actions still to do, with a bar for this day, week or month. No streaks to lose and no guilt.

  • One tap to log an action. Doing it more than once a day? Each tap adds one, like 1 of 2 healthy meals.
  • Add an amount when you track a total, like 3 of 8 glasses of water or 20 pages read.
  • Weekly and monthly actions show how many days you’ve done so far, like 2 of 3 workouts this week.
  • Look back at an earlier day to see what you did, or log something you forgot.
  • Tapped by mistake? Undo is right there.
The Goals screen on iPhone (sample data). Lose 10 lb: 60%, 179 lb now, target 175 lb, by Jan 22, 92 days left. Read 12 books: 25%. Exercise more: done 4 times this week. Save $2,000: 40%, $800 now. Done: 3 goals.
Targets

Track the number that matters

Some goals have a number: a weight, a savings total, books read. Add a start and a target, and Little by Little shows how far you’ve come.

  • Tap Update when the number changes. The percentage and bar update straight away.
  • Any unit you like: lb, kg, $, pages, books, km.
  • Set a date to see the days left, or choose No end date for goals that never really end.
  • Goals without a number show what you did this week, like “Done 4 times this week”.
A goal on iPhone (sample data): Eat healthy, with the why “Feel lighter and sleep better.” Actions: Eat healthy twice a day, 1 of 2; Drink water, 3 of 8. Add action, History, and Mark as done.
Your goals

Remember why you started

Every goal keeps your “why” at the top, so on the hard days you can see what it’s all for.

  • Add details to an action: how, when, or anything to remember.
  • History shows everything you logged for a goal, day by day. Fix a mistake by deleting an entry.
  • Reached it? Mark as done. It moves to your Done list with its history, and you can bring it back anytime.
  • Put your goals in the order you like.

Little by Little Premium

Your goals on every device, and a nudge at the right time

Everything you need to work on your goals is free. Premium adds two things: sync and reminders. No pop-ups and no nagging: a reminder setting shows a small lock until you want it.

How to get Premium

Settings on iPhone with Premium (sample data): Little by Little Premium, Active. Account. Sync: syncing. Reminders: on. Preferences, and Data with Export data.
  • Sync across iPhone, Android and Mac

    Log a walk on your phone and see it on your Mac a moment later. Your goals are kept safe in your account, so a new phone starts with all of them. Offline? Changes wait on your device and sync when you’re back.

  • Reminders at the time you choose

    Remind yourself about a goal every day or once a week, like a weekly weigh-in. Action reminders arrive only on days the action is still to do, and you can tap Done right in the notification.

Also good to know

  • One Premium, all your devices

    Premium is linked to your account, so it works wherever you sign in: iPhone, iPad, Android or Mac. On Android, sign in with Google using the same email as your Apple ID (used Hide My Email? see help).

  • Nothing is lost if you stop

    If Premium ends, sync and reminders stop. Your goals stay on your device, and your reminder settings are kept.

  • Support development

    Premium keeps Little by Little independent and ad-free.

Free and Premium, side by side

Unlimited goals, actions and history are free, on every device.

Choose a yearly or monthly plan in the app; you’ll see the price before you buy. Open Little by Little and tap Settings › Little by Little Premium, or tap any reminder setting with a lock.

Questions

Is Little by Little free?

Yes. Unlimited goals, targets, actions, one-tap logging, history and export are free on iPhone, iPad, Android and Mac. Little by Little Premium is optional and adds sync and reminders.

When can I download it?

Soon. Little by Little is coming to the App Store, Google Play and the Mac App Store as Little by Little: Goals+Habits. The download buttons on this page will work as soon as it’s out.

What’s the difference between a goal and an action?

A goal is where you want to get, like “Lose 10 lb” or “Read 12 books”. Actions are the small things you do regularly to get there, like “Walk every day” or “Read 20 pages”. You tap actions on Today; if your goal has a number, you update it when it changes.

Do I need an account?

Yes. Sign in with Apple or Google. On the free plan, your goals are stored on your device, not on our servers. With Premium, they’re also kept in your account so they can sync.

Does it work on my Mac?

Yes, and it’s free there too. Sign in with the same account as on your phone (Apple or Google). Without Premium, each device keeps its own goals; with Premium, they stay in sync.

How much is Premium?

You’ll find the plans and prices in the app: open Little by Little and tap Settings › Little by Little Premium. There’s a yearly and a monthly plan. Prices can vary by region and are always shown before you buy.

What happens if Premium ends?

Sync and reminders stop. Everything on your device stays there, and your reminder settings are kept for when you come back.

How do I cancel Premium?

Subscriptions are managed by Apple or Google. Open your App Store subscriptions or Google Play subscriptions. In Little by Little, Settings › Little by Little Premium › Manage subscription takes you there.

How do I delete my account and data?

In Little by Little, go to Settings › Account › Delete account. Step-by-step instructions.

What do you do with my data?

Only what the app needs to work. No ads, and we never sell your data. Your goals are only on our servers if you use Premium sync. Read the privacy policy.
