## What is Buddy Brief?

Buddy Brief is an accountability app that helps you follow through on your daily goals by connecting you with people you trust.

If motivation isn’t the issue—accountability is—Buddy Brief turns “I’ll do it later” into “I did it.”

HOW IT WORKS
- Create Today’s List: Add a focused, achievable set of tasks for today.
- Set a Deadline: Pick a time to finish—so your day has urgency and structure.
- Add Your Buddies: Share your unique friend code or enter a friend’s code to connect.
- Track Each Other: See your buddies’ progress in real time—no links, no screenshots.
- Get It Done: Check tasks off before the deadline and build momentum.
- Real Consequences: Miss your deadline? Your buddy can choose to forgive… or hold you accountable with app blocking.
