Frequently asked questions

Progress is an Android progress tracking app for personal projects, goals, tasks, and subtasks. You break a goal into tasks and subtasks, give each one a progress percentage from 0 to 100%, and Progress rolls those numbers up into a single project progress bar automatically. Add start and due dates and it also tells you whether you're on track to finish in time.

Not exactly. You can use it like a to-do list, but Progress is built around progress percentages rather than simple done / not-done checkboxes. Its focus is measuring how far you've moved toward a goal, which makes it better suited to larger, longer efforts than a plain checklist.

A simple to-do list only tells you whether a task is done. Progress is not just a to-do list — it tracks how far you have moved toward a goal using projects, tasks, subtasks, progress percentages, dates and time logs. Partial progress on a task moves your overall project bar, so you see steady momentum instead of a list of unchecked boxes.

People managing personal goals and long-term projects: students studying for exams or certifications, people learning programming or a language, anyone chasing fitness or habit goals, writers and creators, and side-project builders. In short, anyone with a multi-step goal they want to see move. See use cases for examples.

Yes — long-term goals are what Progress is best at. It records your progress percentage every day, so slow, steady effort shows up as a climbing line on the chart, and the daily target breaks a months-long goal into just today's share.

Yes. A project is broken into tasks, and each task can be broken into subtasks, which can nest inside further subtasks. Subtask progress rolls up into its parent task automatically. (The free plan limits nesting depth; the Expert Plan allows up to 6 layers.)

Yes. You set a progress percentage from 0 to 100% for each task, and it rolls up automatically: subtask → task → milestone → project. If you set weights, each task contributes to the total in proportion to its weight, so important work counts for more.

Yes. Start a built-in timer on any task or subtask, or add past sessions manually by entering the hours, minutes and date. Recorded time feeds into your activity heatmap so you can see the effort behind your progress.

Yes. There are three home screen widgets — today's overall progress, today's tasks, and the progress and tasks of a project you choose — so you can check your progress without opening the app.

Yes. You can generate a project report and export it as a PDF to print or share, and you can export and import your full data as CSV or ZIP from the settings screen.

Yes. Make a project for the exam, add a task per subject or textbook, break those into chapters as subtasks, and set the exam date as a due date so Progress can tell you whether you're on pace. Many students use it exactly this way.

Yes. Set a fitness goal as a project, log each session, and use the activity heatmap to keep your daily consistency visible. The built-in timer can also record workout durations.

Not currently. Progress is an Android app available on Google Play. There is no iPhone (iOS) version at this time.

Yes. Projects, tasks, subtasks, auto-calculated and weighted progress, deadline prediction, the timer, Today view, widgets, notifications, search and sync are all free. An optional Expert Plan subscription unlocks a few extras.

The Expert Plan is an optional subscription that unlocks power-user extras: creating project groups, nesting subtasks up to 6 layers deep, customizing your progress bar color, and more attachment storage. Billing goes through Google Play, and you can cancel anytime from "Subscriptions" in the Play Store — Expert features remain until the end of your billing period.

Your data is stored on your device and supports cloud sync, so it carries over when you change devices. You can also export and import it as CSV / ZIP from settings.
