1.0 (2024-03-26) initial release

  • Does it store data or is the counter reset in each new activity?

  • in reply to KrapfenKringel

    It doesn't store data. The data is taken from the watch. Either the current activity or the daily/weekly data.

    Later I plan to add new features, like using the Garmin badges, challenges if users will show interest.

  • Hi flocsy, thanks for Goal Countdown, it's exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately the Connect IQ store shows it as not compatible with my fēnix 9 Pro (47mm, AMOLED, inReach). Any chance you could add support for the fēnix 9 series?

    Also a feature idea, if you're open to it: a mode that takes the remaining daily steps at the moment the activity starts as its target, with an optional alert at a set percentage (for example 50%). That way I can start a walk when I get home and get a halfway buzz no matter how many steps I already have that day.

    Thanks!
