Belated notice, but Unbroken Chain was released a couple of weeks ago with two awesome improvements:
1. It now allows your music to keep on playing in the background thanks to an update in CoronaSDK
2. It now shows you consecutive days without drilling down into each goal
These were both customer-requested features/fixes, so please, if you have anything you'd like me to improve, just let me know...

Unbroken Chain - Accepted!
Unbroken Chain was just accepted into the App Store! +1 for another Corona-based app. I'd like to thank the academy and my lovely wife... ;-)
Here is the description:
"After a few days you'll have a chain. Just keep at it and the chain will grow longer every day. You'll like seeing that chain, especially when you get a few weeks under your belt. Your only job next is to not break the chain." -- Jerry Seinfeld
Using Unbroken Chain is as simple as adding your goals and placing a big red check on each day that you were able to accomplish it.
The Seinfeld quote above served as inspiration for the Unbroken Chain app that I've just submitted to the app store. Jerry is absolutely right that, once you start seeing the links in those chains grow, you want to make sure they continue to grow. This app simply helps you visualize your progress on your goals.
Do you have a New Year's Resolution to start exercising? Great! Create a new goal.
Only want to track three times a week? When creating your goal, just leave Monday, Wednesday and Friday checked and uncheck the rest of the days.
You can also use it to track things that don't want to do:
Use Unbroken Chain to track your progress when trying to quit smoking, drinking soft drinks, or anything else you'd like to quit doing.
Privacy information: All your goals are stored on your iOS device. They are never uploaded to the web.

Unbroken Chain written using Corona in a weekend
I had the idea for the Unbroken Chain app quite a while ago, but I kept working on other things that I thought were more fun. Little did I know that I really needed this app to keep me on track and moving in the right direction!
The impetus for the idea was this article on LifeHacker about Jerry Seinfeld's "productivity secret".
Enough about why. Let's talk about how:
The application is written with Corona in Lua. Corona seems primarily developed for the creation of games, so writing something that really is more of an app was quite interesting. Luckily there has been a lot of work on the exact UI controls that I needed to pull it off, primarily the table view control.
Using the table view control was a breeze, though I did have to make a couple of changes to disable it when the delete pop-up appears. The guys at AnscaMobile have really done quite a good job at making everything work just how you would expect it to.
