Intelligent Reminders
I love the app and use it every day but the reminders are not very intelligent. If I have already completed say "drink 8 glasses of water" for the day, but there are still reminders scheduled, they will remind me regardless. This can be very annoying.
Instead, there should be an option such as "remind every hour until completed", which can simply be controlled by setting a starting time, say 7:00 in the morning. This would make much more sense in my opinion.

I agree. Big issue psychologically. If I am doing everything right I want the icon on my home screen to be clear. That is positive reinforcement. When I look down and see 1 or 2 notifications I assume I have missed an event during the day. That gives a negative reinforcement. In fact, accomplishing your daily steps to avoid a notification should be your goal. When you get a notification for something that you have accomplished, it defeats the purpose. It goes against the objectives of the app. BTW, love the app, it is keeping me on track for a number of goals. Love the simplicity. Thanks for developing it.

I really agree with this, especially for daily habits. It would be excellent if the reminder didn't go off if it was already completed. I tend to mark it off when I do it, then get annoyed when the reminders go off. Eventually, I end up turning off the alarms all together because of it.
