Introducing Goals

It always seems impossible until it’s done.
— Nelson Mandela

Last year, when I was working on Tempo 3, I had a bunch of features on the roadmap that I wanted to build and launch with Tempo 3. As I scoped out work for each of those features, a lot of them turned out to be big enough to be an app in itself. I won’t list all of the yet-to-be-released features, but two of those features were Personal Bests and Goals. Personal Bests was released earlier this year, and today Tempo v3.4.0 is launching with Goals! 🎉

Goals in Tempo is built around the idea of completing a total distance by doing one or more workouts. Goals can be great in keeping motivation high to maintain a consistent training routine, chase a new fitness peak, or do both!

Tempo’s goal setup is simple and fast, and tracking is fully automated. A goal can be setup to run, walk, or hike a total distance once over a set number of days, or repeat weekly or monthly.

Our workouts are only a fraction of the time throughout the day/week, but having a goal as a constant reminder really helps with the motivation to show up for the next workout and maintain that forward momentum. So Goals in Tempo are built to be everywhere,

  • On your Home Screen with beautiful goals widgets

  • On your favorite Apple Watch face with a goal complication

  • And in Tempo app on your iPhone and Apple Watch

That’s Goals in a nutshell. I hope you enjoy it and it helps you achieve your future training and fitness goals! 🎯🙌👏

Thank you!

I want to take a moment and say thanks. As I said above, every key feature in Tempo could be a standalone app in itself. All the work—iOS app, watchOS app, widgets, complications, synching, and more—requires a lot of time and effort. Tempo’s promise of privacy and attention to detail to bring it all together is what makes it so great for all of us. It’s insightful, motivating, and reliable. We are also in the early days of making it sustainable and long-lasting, and your support helps immensely. Thank you for being part of building our favorite training app!
