# Goals

> Set targets, track progress, and reach milestones with AI-powered goal tracking

## Overview

Goals in Peanuts let you set measurable targets and track progress over time. Whether you want to save €5,000 by December, run 100km in a month, or read 24 books this year — Peanuts tracks your trajectory and keeps you informed.

<Info>
  Goals are available on **Starter, Pro, and Team** plans. Creating a goal costs **1 credit**.

## Creating a Goal

### Via Natural Language

Simply tell Peanuts what you want to achieve:

* "I want to save €5,000 by December"
* "Goal: run 100km this month"
* "I want to read 24 books this year"

Peanuts creates a goal with:

* **Target value** — The number you're aiming for
* **Deadline** — When you want to achieve it
* **Linked Helper** — The Helper that tracks related entries
* **Milestones** — Intermediate checkpoints along the way

### Via Commands

On Telegram or WhatsApp, use the `/goals` command to view and manage your goals.

## How It Works

  <Step title="Set your target">
    Describe your goal in plain language — Peanuts extracts the target, deadline, and category.

  <Step title="Log entries as usual">
    Keep logging to your Helpers normally. Peanuts automatically links relevant entries to your goal.

    Peanuts proactively nudges you when you're falling behind or celebrates when you hit milestones.
