Oathly: Habit Accountability

Oathly is a social habit tracker built on accountability with friends. Make a pact: what you'll do, how often, and the stakes if you miss. Prove it with a photo, keep your streak, and let the forfeit count when you don't. Check in with a photo taken in the app. Your friend confirms it, or calls you out. Miss, and the forfeit you agreed goes on a shared ledger you can both see. It's accountability with friends in the plainest sense: someone else knows whether you did the thing. HOW IT WORKS - Make a pact: daily, a few times a week, or a one-off with a deadline - Send your friend a link. They open it, sign in, and join - Check in with a photo, or an honour tap if that's what you agreed - Your partner approves it or rejects it - Build a streak. Miss, and the forfeit is recorded against you - Settle up in real life, then you both mark it done OATHLY NEVER TOUCHES MONEY The forfeit is between you and your friend. Oathly writes it down and keeps score. It does not take payments, hold funds, move money or process a transfer, and it never will. The ledger is bookkeeping between two people and nothing more. What you owe each other, and whether you pay it, is entirely up to you. WHY ACCOUNTABILITY WITH FRIENDS WORKS A habit tracker you only answer to yourself is easy to quietly let slide. A social habit tracker with someone checking isn't. Streaks and stakes both help, but the thing that actually changes behaviour is knowing a specific person will see, this week, whether you did what you said you'd do. YOUR PROOF STAYS BETWEEN YOU Proof photos are visible only to the members of that pact. There is no public feed, no discovery, no browsing strangers. Location data written into a photo by your camera is stripped on your phone before the photo is uploaded, so a check-in from home does not tell anyone where you live. WHAT PEOPLE MAKE PACTS ABOUT The gym, three mornings a week, with a photo from the parking lot. A daily language lesson before either of you checks your phone. No smoking, checked in every evening with an honour tap. A shared project with a deadline neither of you wants to be the one who missed. The mechanic is the same social habit tracker underneath every pact: what changes is the thing you and your friend actually care about finishing. A QUIET APP The reminders you set for yourself are capped at three a day and never land between 10pm and 8am. Your partner checking in, approving a photo or missing a day reaches you when it happens: that is the whole point of doing this with someone else. OATHLY PRO A subscription. One free pact is enough to see whether this works for you; Pro gives you unlimited pacts, and one streak freeze a month for the days life genuinely gets in the way. Streak Repair is sold separately, as a one-off, and is only ever offered after a miss has already happened. The pact is told the streak was repaired rather than the miss being quietly erased. Signing in takes a moment: with Apple, with Google, or with a six-digit code sent to your email. You can delete your account, and everything in it, from Settings. No ads. No feed. No followers. One friend, one pact, and the kind of habit accountability that actually holds. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
