Most MRR dashboards tell you where you've been. They're not much help with the question you actually ask on the 20th of the month: are we on track? The new monthly growth goal answers exactly that.


A target, and a pace line to hit it

Set a monthly growth target under Settings → Goal — either a fixed amount (say, +$8,000 of new MRR this month) or a percentage of your starting MRR. Your This month's growth widget on the dashboard then shows a dashed pace line running to the target, with your actual growth tracking against it in real time.

At a glance you can see whether you're ahead, on track, or behind — and by how much. Hover the widget and you get live progress: how much you've added so far, and how much is left "to go" before you hit the goal.

No spreadsheet, no manual math on the last day of the month. Just a target and a line, updated as your MRR moves.


Why a pace line beats a number

A flat "goal: $8k" number is easy to ignore until it's too late. A pace line reframes it as a question you can act on all month: at today's rate, do we get there? If the line is pulling away from you on the 12th, you still have three weeks to do something about it — chase expansion, tighten dunning, push a campaign.

It turns your MRR widget from a rear-view mirror into a scoreboard.


Small feature, real habit

Goals only work when they're in front of you. Putting the target right on the dashboard — where you already check MRR — is what makes it stick. It's the kind of quietly useful thing you end up glancing at every day.

The monthly growth goal is live now. Set yours under Settings → Goal, or read the full guide.
