Sometimes keeping things simple works much better than over complicating them and Joe’s Goals proves just that. Users can set goals and keep track of them using a simple score system.

Notes can be added and users can keep track down to the day to see how close they are to achieving their goals and finding success.

Joe’s Goals creator Ian (who refers to himself as Joe), built the application after identifying a need. Inspired by the 13 Virtues of Benjamin Franklin, Ian focused on creating a goal monitoring tool that was extremely simple. In fact, the creator himself identifies it as “stupidly simple.” He wanted an application that could not only track goals, but allow users to share them as well. The result was Joe’s Goals which has provided an effective, basic goal setting, tracking and sharing service for many users.
