It was my main thing when I started with beeminder. Consider alternative UIs: > [@Advent 2022: 05. Tags for your Goals + Beebrowse & Altbee & BUI](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/advent-2022-05-tags-for-your-goals-beebrowse-altbee-bui/10645): > > Today’s [Advent Calendar](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/beeminder-advent-calendar-december-2022/10635) post is about goal tags and about a couple of third-party extensions that work well with them. (Note that these tags are not related to [TagTime](https://help.beeminder.com/article/64-tagtime).) Tags are one of Beeminder’s lesser-known features and can be a handy way to group your goals into categories. Adding one or more tags to any of your goals is easy: Visit your [your Tags page](https://www.beeminder.com/tags) (www.beeminder.com/tags), where you’ll see a list of all your goals, sorted by goalname. In the input box for each goal, type your tag(s… > [@BUI - the alternative Beeminder UI (more charts)](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/bui-the-alternative-beeminder-ui-more-charts/10416): > > Hey, I built the alternative UI for Beeminder. I use it for a while now and I find it useful. Instead of competing with default Beeminder web app or mobile apps, it compliments them with extra data visualisation. I started with this thread: [Visualizing beeminder data](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/visualizing-beeminder-data/10055) but moved onto creating my own app to get better performance, more flexibility and to make it easier for everyone to see the data.

I created an app that is [displaying urgency load](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/bui-the-alternative-beeminder-ui-more-charts/10416) among other funny things. Nonetheless, I really liked Duolingo iOS widget and I thought to myself it would be nice to just have the same experience for Beeminder. Also, this would eliminate the need to open my app. I came across very simple app called [Widgy](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/widgy-widgets/id1524540481). It allows you to create your custom iOS widgets. Such widgets can read data from JSON APIs such as Beeminder API. I myself read urgency s… I have more or less automated data entry or I use iOS Shortcuts to enter data. I read beeminder stats with a widget. I don’t use native UI much. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/beeminder-design-and-ui/11008)._
