About Beeminder

Add data to your Beeminder goals, get reminders, and see a dashboard of your progress on the Beeminder Data Entry Companion App.

Beeminder is goal-tracking with teeth. We plot your progress along with a bright red line on your graph. Don't let your datapoints cross the red line!

The Beeminder app also allows you to sync goals with your Apple Health data, so you can automatically track steps, distance, and other metrics without manually entering data.

5.6.4
Jun 9, 2020
Bug fix (for real this time): the intermittent blank white screen is, we believe, vanquished for good.
Bug fix: for entering datapoints > 1000 (i.e., with a comma in US-style notation), the app no longer switches said comma to a decimal point
Bug fix: if you delete a datapoint, the datapoint now immediately disappears from the list of datapoints under the graph
Bug fix: similarly, if you edit a datapoint, the datapoint under the graph is now immediately updated. Furthermore, the value in the data entry field changes to reflect the edit.
Improvement: if a background fetch fails, there is no longer an alert ("Error fetching goals") waiting for you when you return to the app.
Improvement: we now prompt you to turn on notifications when switching to a new device or on a reinstall of the app, if necessary.
5.6.3
May 6, 2020
5.6.3 has a couple of bug fixes: one for the intermittent blank screen on loading, and one for the goal screen not updating the "Safe for X days" text if you added data elsewhere and then tapped the refresh button.
5.6.2
Apr 23, 2020
- Time zone now displayed in Settings
- The information about the minimum requirements each day is now under the graph.
- Bug fix: when you entered invalid credentials, you previously were bombarded with multiple popups telling you that they were invalid, over and over. Now you just get one, which seems sufficient.

- Bug fix, introduced briefly in 5.6.1: the most recent datapoint was not showing underneath the graph
- Search bar results are now preserved after you view an individual goal and return to the gallery screen
