Description
Chasing Desires is a goal-setting and habit-tracking utility that helps users plan, prioritize, and measure progress across personal and professional objectives. The app targets people who need a flexible system for breaking large ambitions into actionable steps, scheduling reminders, and visualizing momentum. By combining checklist management, timed routines, and progress analytics, Chasing Desires solves the common problem of lost focus and fragmented task planning on Android devices.
Core Functionality
Chasing Desires provides a suite of productivity tools centered on goal creation, task breakdown, and measurable streaks. Core features include multi-level goal trees that allow main goals to be split into milestones and sub-tasks, a daily habit grid that tracks completion history, and a timeline view to see upcoming deadlines and completed items. Built-in timers and session tools support focused work with configurable Pomodoro intervals and session logs. Reminders use the Android AlarmManager and push notification system for dependable alerts; calendar integration supports exporting events to ICS format and syncing with the device calendar. Export and import options include CSV and JSON for backups and external analysis. Visual reports generate charts for completion rate, streak length, and time spent per goal, with data filters by tag, date range, and priority. Additional utilities include secure note attachments, image support for goal cards (JPEG/PNG), and a home-screen widget that displays active goals and one-tap checkboxes for quick updates. The app also supports local backups, scheduled automatic backups to selected folders, and manual export to cloud storage providers via the Android Sharesheet protocol.
Premium and MOD Features
The premium tier and unlocked MOD variant remove restrictions and activate advanced tools that transform the free experience into a full productivity suite. The Unlocked Game status indicates that paid features are accessible without in-app purchases, delivering an ad-free, unrestricted environment. The main unlocked features deliver more control, capacity, and export options than the stock free version.

Interface and Usability
The user interface uses a modern multi-pane layout with a bottom navigation bar for quick access to Goals, Daily, Analytics, and Settings. A collapsible side drawer surfaces account, backup, and help functions. The goal editor is a modular panel with drag-and-drop reordering, tag assignment, priority flags, and time estimates. Onboarding includes a quick setup wizard that creates starter templates for common use cases (weight tracking, study plans, savings goals). Settings provide granular control over notification channels, reminder sounds, and Do Not Disturb behavior. Theme support includes Light, Dark, and AMOLED modes; color accents are customizable per project to aid visual grouping. Widget support includes both interactive checklist widgets and glance widgets that show progress percentages. Accessibility options include adjustable text size, high-contrast mode, and voice input for quick task creation. Overall navigation emphasizes one-tap completion and minimal friction when adding or updating goals, reducing the time required to maintain consistent tracking.
Permissions and Privacy
Chasing Desires requests a specific set of permissions to deliver core features: storage access (read/write) for local backups and image attachments; network access (Internet) for cloud sync, theme downloads, and analytics; calendar access for adding events to the device calendar and importing calendar-based reminders; notification access to deliver scheduled alerts and persistent widgets; optional camera and microphone access for capturing goal images or recording voice notes. Location is optional and used only for location-triggered reminders if enabled by the user. Contacts access is not required unless the user chooses to share goals or send invitations. Privacy considerations include local-first storage for core data, optional encrypted cloud sync when an account is used, and explicit export controls for sharing or deleting data. Users are encouraged to review the app privacy policy before enabling cloud services. Core functionality — goal creation, habit tracking, and local backups — works entirely offline once the app is installed.
Compatibility and Installation
Chasing Desires runs on a broad range of devices and is optimized for phones and tablets. Typical file size ranges from 30 to 80 MB depending on assets and theme packs; recommended RAM is 2 GB or higher for smooth multi-pane navigation. The app supports Android 5.0 Lollipop and above, with enhanced behavior on Android 8.0+ for notification channel controls and background task handling. Installation of the MOD APK requires enabling installs from unknown sources: open Settings → Apps & notifications → Special app access → Install unknown apps, then allow the browser or file manager used to download the APK. After download, open the APK using a file manager, tap Install, and accept runtime permissions when prompted. If a Play Store version exists on the device, uninstall it first to avoid signature conflicts. After installation, launch the app and complete initial setup; premium features in the MOD release activate automatically without entering purchase credentials. For cloud sync, sign in and enable account sync in Settings. If Play Protect prompts appear, follow device prompts to allow the installed APK or use a trusted installer method.
