Q: Why isn't my Daily Goal showing on my dashboard?
A: Open Settings :settings-2: → General and make sure Below the center is enabled and Daily Goal is selected.
If you're using Balance Mode, your Below the center section may also be hidden during downtime. Open Settings :settings-2: → Balance and check whether Hide App Below Center is enabled.

A: Your Daily Goal resets every day at 4:00 AM local time, whether or not you've completed it, so you can start each day with a new priority.
