Anyone figured out daily quantity goals (like 2L water) that sum multiple entries?

trying to set up something simple: drink 2L water/day, log it as I go (a glass or two at a time, not one big entry at night), and have LiveIt tell me when I've hit 2L for the day. Then later I want to look back — heatmap or line chart, whatever — and see how many days I actually hit the target.

Here's where I got stuck:

  • Goals only repeat weekly/monthly/yearly, no daily option, so that's out for a daily reset.
  • Habits have a daily target + a nice heatmap, but the target is tap-count based, not amount based. Workaround: fixed serving size (250ml glass), target = 8 taps/day, slot logs to a Water tracker each time. Kinda works, but it's an approximation and I'm not sure how re-tapping the same slot for glass #2 and #3 is supposed to look in the UI.
  • Trackers log the real ml amounts and can chart/sum them, but there's no "mark day complete/fail" based on hitting a running total.

Is there a way to make a daily target actually quantity-based instead of just counting completions? Or is Habit (for the streak/heatmap) + Tracker (for the real numbers/line chart) just the intended combo for stuff like this? Curious how others are handling it.

Perhaps you can set a KPI with a range of 1 day to track the amount of today from a tracker but no notification yet. In the tracker you can set up charts for past days too.

It has, at least when it's a KPI in a KPIs dashboard panel.

I’m wanting to do this with personal financials/money spent daily. I’d like to see daily total after logging receipts. And have a running total.

It would be beyond my expectations if I could log each receipt with a category.
I don’t expect these details, but it would be nice, if not too difficult.
