My weekend project that won't die: Mr. Goal - Intelligent Goal Reminders.

So "the right times" ends up being randomly throughout the day when you're probably not thinking about them. I like this solution because it's really simple, quite random, and notifies the user at unexpected times (only between 8am and 9pm in the user's timezone, though. Mr. Goal minds his manners).
I wasn't sure how to explain it on the front page, would you have any suggestions?
However, you may want to run a trademark search with the USPTO to make sure some company hasn't already trademarked it for the reminders market. Trademarks are context-specific, so if it hasn't been trademarked for this context, I would file for one.
A couple of observations:
The use of the goal title as a top-level URI seems a bit odd (i.e. https://mrgoal.net/goal-name/). Obviously you can use the session info to disambiguate, but when you implement public goals, won't there be a lot of name collisions?
A little more detail on the Settings page about exactly how often "sometimes" or "often" is would be helpful, particularly for knowing how much of my weekly SMS budget will be used for each goal and in aggregate.
