Goal frequency - X times per week

When setting a new goal, in the frequency screen it offers Every day, Every X days, or Specific days, however it would be helpful to have an option for X days per week. For example, I want to meditate 3 times per week but not on specific days or every other day, I would like it to be more flexible. Thank you for considering!

    We had a similar suggestion from another member of the community:

    “More fexible settings in Goal.

    I want set goals like x times per week - not just certain days. Ex 2 times per week, so I don’t have to pick 2 days specific days”

    We had a similar suggestion submitted by another member of the community:

    “Goals eg 5 times a week.

    Add option to have a goal to do something eg 5 times a week or several times a day, with a result reporting in the weekly report. Or even better: make a custom frequency option.”

    Adding my voice to this discussion! I recently switched over to Bearable from Daylio. Bearable is better in every way - except for this! Would love to see goal options for X times per week as well as X times per month. In current state, I don’t find the goals feature useful as none of the goals I personally have correlate to specific days of the week.

    Slightly different, but another user also requested additional flexibility with goals:

    “Option to Set Goal to Repeat/Show After Completion and to Mark it as Done on Any Day”

    “When creating a goal, I would like to be able to set the repetition to be calculated after marked completion instead of just after a prescheduled number of days.

    For example, say I want to “Play Tuba” at least once every three days, starting on the 1st. Instead of it showing up again on the 4th and 7th (no matter what), I’d like it to show dynamically three days after I complete it. So if I completed it on the 2nd, it would show up next on the 5th instead, etc.

    Though in order to mark it as complete on the 2nd, another feature would be needed as well. Either: 1) the goal would show on the page every day (after the preset repetition threshold is reached) until it’s marked as done (after which it disappears until repeated again), or 2) there would be a way to mark the goal as done on any day, regardless of if it’s “scheduled” for that day or not (this would probably be the preferred option)

    As of now, the only workarounds I see are either to: 1) just deal with the literal preset “every three days,” or 2) set it as recurring daily and just manually skip it on days I don’t do that habit (though I’m not sure if this would adversely affect the app’s insights calculations)”

    This would be very helpful! I have specific goals set by my doctor with varying frequency requirements. If we can have personalized goal options, it would be great! _ days per _ days.
