Art Goal Tracker for iPhone

Track artworks completed on iPhone. Log each piece finished, build toward 24 or 52 for the year, and handle complex pieces without a streak reset. Free.

You set a goal to make more art this year. Maybe 52 pieces — one per week, a real commitment. You started logging in a habit tracker, marking the days you created. The streak held through quick sketches and studies. Then you started a large canvas.

The large canvas took three weeks. Every day you worked on it, you could log a session. But the piece wasn't finished. The habit tracker recorded activity but couldn't record the completion. And the day you finally varnished it and moved on, the streak had already broken twice from days you stepped back to assess.

Artwork goals are about finished pieces, not studio hours. A quick study and a three-week oil painting both count as one completion. The process behind them is yours; the tracker only needs to know when you're done.

A completion tracker shows 14 of 52. Every finished piece adds a dot. The weeks you spent on one complex work look exactly right: one dot, earned through however long it took.

One artwork per week reaches 52 in a year. More complex pieces take longer; quick studies and sketches add up fast.

Why artworks created is a milestone goal

Artworks are completed units. A goal of 52 pieces in a year tracks the output of a practice, not the daily behavior. Time between pieces varies with complexity and inspiration. A streak tracker penalizes the two-week period spent on a single complex painting.

The problem with streak trackers for artworks created

Three weeks on one large canvas looks like three weeks of nothing to a daily habit tracker. The count is at 14 finished pieces. The streak shows zero.

What the math looks like

One artwork per week reaches 52 in a year. Two weeks on a complex piece and one quick study in the third still adds one to the count.
