Like it. I'd love to see a way to set a weekly allowance. E.g. I set "eat junk food" at 0, but really, I want to say I can do it once per week as a treat ;)

Sweet! I had the same idea recently based only on incremental values. I'm trying to quit smoking but I still cheat from time to time (I know, this is bad.) and I wanted to be able to track my progress.

I really like this idea. I've been looking for something similar on iOS. I'm currently going back and forth between two solutions for daily + weekly goal tracking: (1) Coach.me (formerly Lift), which works well but has a bit different focus, and doesn't provide a ton of visualization; and (2) simple tasks on Google Calendars, which is okay on desktop, and not great on mobile, and not really suitable for goal tracking overall (understandably).
Something fully contained like Goalie but for iOS would be awesome.

Looks great, will be checking this out. One piece of constructive criticism from the preview images is that the title font sizes are a bit large and that the different font faces are a little distracting.
Congrats for releasing your app, and kudos for sharing with us here!

Design is definitely not my strong point either :) Google's design pages[1] have been a big help to me, they call out specific things to do and not to do with Material design. I think they put it together in a way that can help engineers out.

The app looks really useful and props on getting it out there. Another design related suggestion (especially for an app that features color so prominently) is to find a good color palette at a site like http://www.colourlovers.com/ and stick with that. No one should be picking their own colors in 2015 :)

Nice, reminds me of Tap Log. I'll give it a try.
Your address seems fake.
It says I can pay to make it adfree, but I was not prompted about a network permission? Local ads sound like a great idea that keeps your users' privacy. I don't see any though.

Why? It's actually much easier to try it for free and pay the in-app purchase if you like it. Otherwise you have to go back to the play store and find the paid version.

You do realize that we can see when the app was published on PlayStore(initial release on June 9th). Unless your life and marriage were changed within couple of hours of using it....
Also, welcome to HN.
I'll give it a try for sure.

Edit: Plus it adds a little fun to it and makes it feel more personalized imo.
Exporting the data seems to generate somewhat readable json. Nice and simple.
1) Can I import that again, somehow?
2) Will you try to make sure that this json import/export format will be understood in versions 4 month from now?
Notifications/reminders are great. They'd be even more great if they'd disappear after me adding to a goal.
Think: 'Remind me at 9 to have breakfast'. Eat. Open Goalie. Swipe right. Browse HN. :)
10:00 - still seeing a reminder for breakfast that won't go away without dismissing it manually.
