Getting started

How do I add a goal?

Tap + on Today or Goals (on a Mac, press ⌘N). Give it a name and, if you like, a why, an end date and a number to track. Then add actions: the small things you’ll do to get there.

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

A goal is where you want to get, like “Read 12 books”. Actions are what you do regularly to get there, like “Read 20 pages” every day. Today shows your actions; tap one when you do it.

How often can an action repeat?

Under How often, choose Daily, Weekly or Monthly. Then choose Number of times (for example, 3 times a week) or Total amount (for example, 8 glasses of water a day). Weekly and monthly actions count the days you did them.

How do I track a number, like my weight?

When you add or edit a goal, turn on Track a number and enter a start, a target and a unit (lb, $, pages…). Tap Update on the goal whenever the number changes; the percentage and bar update straight away.

I tapped by mistake. How do I undo it?

Tap a checked circle again to undo it, or tap Undo on the message that appears. To fix an older entry, open the goal, tap History and delete the entry.

Can I log something for an earlier day?

Yes. On Today, use the arrows or tap the date to pick a day. You can log, change or remove what you did on that day. Tap Today to come back.

I reached my goal. What now?

Open the goal and tap Mark as done. It moves to Done at the bottom of Goals, with its history. You can move it back to active anytime.

Premium & billing

What’s included in Little by Little Premium?

Sync across iPhone, iPad, Android and Mac, and reminders for goals and actions. Everything else is free. See Premium.

How much does Premium cost?

You’ll find the plans and prices in the app: open 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.

I bought Premium but it isn’t showing

Make sure you’re signed in to the same Little by Little account, then open Settings › Little by Little Premium and tap Restore purchases. Use the same Apple ID or Google account you paid with.

Does Premium work on all my devices?

Yes. Premium is linked to your Little by Little account, so it works on every device where you sign in to that account, wherever you bought it. On Android, sign-in is with Google: if you use Sign in with Apple, sign in on Android with Google using the same email as your Apple ID. If you chose Hide My Email with Apple, email us and we’ll help.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Apple and Google manage subscriptions. Open App Store subscriptions or Google Play subscriptions, or tap Manage subscription in Settings › Little by Little Premium. Cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date to avoid the next charge. Deleting the app or your account does not cancel a subscription.

Can I get a refund?

Refunds are handled by the store you paid. For the App Store, use Report a Problem. For Google Play, see Google Play refunds.

Account & data

Why do I need to sign in?

Your account keeps your goals tied to you on each device, and it’s how Premium follows you to every device. Sign in with Apple or Google (Android uses Google). On the free plan, your goals stay on your device; only Premium keeps a copy in your account for sync.

How do I export my data?

Open Settings › Export data. Little by Little saves one file with all your goals and actions, plus a spreadsheet (CSV) of everything you logged. Export is free.

Is my data backed up?

On iPhone and Android, your goals are included in your iCloud or Google device backup. With Premium, they’re also kept in your account and sync to your other devices.

What happens when I sign out?

You choose: keep your goals on this device (sign in again to use them) or remove them from this device. With Premium, they’re still in your account either way.

How do I delete my account?

Open Settings › Account › Delete account. Full instructions and what gets deleted.

What data does Little by Little collect?

Only what it needs to work: your sign-in, and with Premium, your goals for sync. No ads and no selling your data. Read the privacy policy.

Fix a problem

My reminders don’t arrive

Check that the Reminders switch in Settings is on and that notifications are allowed for Little by Little in your device’s settings. Action reminders only come on days the action is still to do. On Android, if the app shows Allow on-time reminders, tap it so reminders aren’t delayed.

My devices aren’t in sync

Sync is part of Premium. Sign in with the same account on each device, then open Settings › Sync to see its status and tap Sync now. If you’re offline, changes wait on the device and sync when you’re back online.

The text on my Mac is too small or too large

Press ⌘+ or ⌘− to change the text size, and ⌘0 to reset it. You’ll find the same commands in the View menu.
