What it is

Beeminder tracks graphable goals and can charge you if your progress crosses the Bright Red Line. You can report data when prompted or connect a device or service to send it automatically; the line marks your path toward a goal, with data smoothing described for goals such as weight loss. Examples include fitness, health, productivity, finance and learning. Core includes dozens of automatic-data integrations, along with IFTTT, Zapier and custom API integration; Fitbit and RescueTime are examples. API endpoints require authentication, and client OAuth supports applications accessing an account on the user’s behalf. Core costs nothing and limits the number of goals, while Infinibee costs $8 a month and includes unlimited goals, exotic goal types and an auto-canceling subscription. Bee Plus costs $16 a month, and Beemium costs $81 a month, each with additional plan features. A payment method is required to create goals, but staying on track can avoid charges. Yearly payment gives 14% off. Beeminder is available on Android, iOS and the web, with API access.
