DingZot

Your roommate swears they'll stop leaving dishes in the sink. You swear you'll get to the gym before work. Put five (fake) dollars on it. DingZot turns your goals into a game. Everyone sets goals with stakes attached — and when someone gets caught slipping, you ding them: the amount lands on their tab, confetti flies, and the scoreboard updates. The money is pretend. The bragging rights are real. HOW IT WORKS • Set a goal with a stake: "No shoes in the entryway — $5" or "No phones in meetings — $10" • Catch someone slipping? Ding them. Confetti flies. • Feeling generous? Let it slide with a free pass • Or throw down a challenge: "Run a 5K by the end of the month — $10." Make it and nobody pays. Miss it and it's a ding. • Settle the tab as paid or forgiven — settling up is optional, gloating isn't • Invite the other phones in: everyone dings from their own phone, and every ding pops up on every phone in the game Play with your partner, your roommate, your sibling, your desk neighbor — anyone whose habits you're tired of, or who's tired of yours. THE DETAILS • A split-screen scoreboard, one side per player — drag the divider to give the busier side more room • Every ding is kept in history, with notes for context ("it was during the stressful week…") • Pay tabs off in pushups, chores, or cold hard (pretend) cash — the payout is whatever you two negotiate • The first ding can be free — build a little mercy into any goal • Challenges show a countdown on the scoreboard, and nothing is counted or decided for you — you two call it, together PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no sign-up, no ads. Everything stays on your phone until you invite someone — and then it travels end-to-end encrypted, so nobody but the phones in your game can read it. Free. If it makes your household funnier, there's a tip jar inside.
