Heave is a social goal tracker/alernative to social media built around effort—not empty engagement. Set meaningful goals, rate your daily effort from 0–10, and turn consistency into progress you can see. Add completion criteria, notes, and photos while keeping every entry connected to the day it happened. Build timelapses from progress photos, mark major achievements as Summits, and use focused Bursts when a goal needs an extra push. Follow your streaks, statistics, badges, and milestones along the way. Keep your goals private or share the journey with friends. Post updates, encourage each other through comments and reactions, use Heave stickers, and stay connected through direct or group messages. Heave also includes focus sessions, widgets, Live Activities, privacy controls, blocking, reporting, and account deletion.
