Depends what you're looking for exactly - I use http://www.joesgoals.com/ http://www.joesgoals.com/ to track multiple goals, which is a more complex variant on http://dontbreakthechain.com/ http://dontbreakthechain.com/.

I use an app called goalstreaks. Far more minimalist. Just a calendar and mark, but I can set reminders and view my overall progress.

You can use RescueTime to automatically track how you're doing against goals you can configure like "spend at least 1 hour in Sublime Text"

For Android, I like Habit Streak Pro [1]. You give a list of things you want to maintain a daily streak on, and then it asks you at the same time every day how you did. My longest recent streak was a 5+ month one on sticking to a restricted diet. The power of that was amazing; any time I considered straying I'd feel like I would be throwing away months of work. (I finally broke the chain on day 3 of the flu; I was miserable and wanted comfort food.) My tips: Have it ask you the daily questions first thing in the morning, so you start your day with a reminder of your streak. And try to keep the number of goals very low, 1-3. More than that and I find it too hard to build good habits. [1] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.amimetic.habitspro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.amimetic.ha...

Daily Badge would do the trick. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mhillsystem.dailybadge https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mhillsyste...

I like the simplicity of chains.cc. The only downside is that there isn't an Android app. https://chains.cc/ https://chains.cc/

If you need more motivation than the other apps, you can try beeminder.com which will fine you (!) if you don't achieve your goals.
