Notch · Learning
Track online courses completed on iPhone. Log each course you finish, build toward your annual goal, and handle long courses without a streak penalty. Free.
You started the year with an ambitious learning plan: 12 online courses. You logged each one in a habit tracker — marking daily study sessions, watching the streak grow. Then you enrolled in a 30-hour data science course that took six weeks to finish.
For six weeks, the habit tracker showed daily check-ins but zero completions. The streak was intact, but the count wasn't moving. And when you finally finished the course, the tracker had no meaningful way to represent what you'd done differently from the 2-hour courses before it.
Course completion goals are about finished courses, not study sessions. A 30-hour course and a 2-hour course both count as one completion. The tracker should reflect that.
A completion tracker shows 4 of 12 courses. The six weeks you spent on a single challenging course don't look like failure — they look like one dot, earned.
Completing one course per month reaches 12 in a year. Some months produce two completions; some produce none as you work through a longer course.
Courses vary in length and intensity. A streak tracker can't account for a month where you're deep in a 30-hour course without completing it yet. The count only goes up when you finish. A habit tracker that penalizes non-completion days creates pressure that doesn't match how learning actually works.
Working through a dense 40-hour course means weeks of no completions. A streak tracker resets the whole time. The total stays at 4 completed courses while the streak reads zero.
One course per month reaches 12 in a year. A month spent halfway through a long course still ends with one completion that adds to the total.
