Milestone Tracking

Set subscriber, view, and watch-time goals and track your progress with visual timelines

Milestone Tracking

TubeLog's Milestone system lets you set specific growth goals and automatically records the exact moment each one is achieved — like a time capsule for your channel journey.

#What Are Milestones?

Milestones are predefined or custom growth checkpoints. When your channel reaches one, TubeLog:

  1. Detects the achievement during the next sync
  2. Records the date, time, and channel stats at that moment
  3. Creates a timeline entry you can revisit years later

#Creating Custom Milestones

Set any target that matters to you:

  1. Go to Milestones in the sidebar
  2. Click + New Milestone
  3. Choose the metric: Subscribers, Views, or Watch Time
  4. Enter your target value
  5. Optionally add a personal note (shown when the milestone is achieved)
  6. Click Save

TubeLog checks for achievement on every sync. You'll receive an in-app notification when the milestone is reached.

#The Growth Timeline

Every achieved milestone appears on your channel's Growth Timeline — a chronological record of every major achievement.

The timeline shows:

  • Achievement date — exact day the milestone was reached
  • Channel stats snapshot — subscriber count, total views, and video count at that moment
  • Days since previous milestone — how long it took to go from the last milestone to this one
  • Personal note (if you added one)

You can scroll back through years of growth and remember exactly what your channel looked like at each stage.

#Milestone Notifications

When a milestone is achieved:

  • In-app banner appears on your dashboard
  • The milestone is added to your Growth Timeline automatically

Note: Milestone detection happens during your scheduled sync. For Free/Starter plans (daily sync at 02:30 UTC), there may be up to 24 hours of delay between crossing a threshold and seeing the achievement recorded. Pro/Enterprise users with 6-hour syncs will see it faster.

#Progress Toward Next Milestone

On your Dashboard, the Milestone Progress card shows:

  • Your next upcoming milestone
  • Current value vs. target
  • Progress bar
  • Estimated days to completion based on your recent growth rate

This projection is updated with every sync and uses a 14-day rolling average of your growth velocity to estimate arrival time.
