Clozemaster

Clozemaster is a gamified language-learning service which focuses on learning language through exposure to the words and grammar in the context of real sentences.

What can I beemind with Clozemaster?

Your number of points, i.e. the score you can see on your Clozemaster dashboard. This is not your number of sentences completed, but the score you get from completing exercises, so new sentences and reviewing sentences all count.

Can I track multiple languages?

You can either track your points in all the languages you use on Clozemaster, or a specific language. You can't just pick two languages out of three you study, though: it's one or all, on a single goal.

If you want to have multiple goals, each for a different language, that will work fine! Just create a separate goal for each language you want to track.

Can I have a non-midnight deadline for this autodata goal?

Yes! You can change the deadline in your reminder settings. All the normal deadline restrictions and rules apply.

Will it fetch my past progress?

Not when you start your goal, but when you fetch your data, it will fetch all your points so far (no matter when you earned them) to start off the goal. That might mean you're "safe" for a very long time, so it's a great time to do a one-time ratchet to get yourself on the hook.

Clozemaster sample goal setup

  1. Head to create a new goal.
  2. Click the Clozemaster icon to start a new goal using Clozemaster data.

  3. First, type in your Clozemaster username so we know whose points to fetch.

    Beeminder + Clozemaster: "My Clozemaster username is" followed by a "check" button
  4. Then pick the language and the number of points per day you want to commit to. Lastly, if you want to delay your goal's start a few days (maybe you're traveling this weekend), be sure to tick the Start this goal with extra leeway box. Enter the number of days you want to delay and press Continue.

    "Tracking my progress in" followed by a dropdown to pick the language, then "I pledge to average" with a stepper or number entry box to choose how many points per day. Finally, check the "Start this goal with extra leeway" button if you don't want to start for a few days, and put in the number of days you want before you need to make progress.
  5. Give your goal a brief name. If you want, you can also write a short description with more information.

    "Give your goal a name", followed by two text entry boxes. The first allows you to enter a short slug which will name your goal and create a URL for it. The second textbox allows you to set a short description, and is optional.
  6. Finally, choose your initial pledge. This is the amount you will pay the first time you derail on the goal. After derailing, the pledge will increase by default — use the dropdown below to control how high it goes by selecting the cap. In the example below, I have chosen to start at a $5 pledge, which will increase each time I derail, until it reaches $270 — the pledge cap. (To read more about pledges and payments, check out some FAQs!)

    If you want to start out with a sort of trial period, you can choose to start the goal at $0. If you do that, the pledge will automatically increase to $5 after seven days. If you derail before that, it will also increase to $5.

The text says "Your pledge will increase each time you derail until you reach your pledge cap (which you can adjust below)", with a demonstration below showing the pledge progression: 5, 10, 30, 90... to the pledge cap, which currently shows $270. Below, a checkbox button allows you to choose to "Hold the pledge at $0 for 7 days while I get my feet wet"
  7. Step through the preview and payment confirmation screens, and that's it! I'll need to get 50 points in the next 4 days to avoid paying Beeminder my first $5.
