Just a small group of people keeping each other honest, one week at a time. Set goals, break them into steps, and check in at your own pace. Turn recurring goals into weekly habits that reset each Monday and track how many weeks you follow through.

Tap the poke badge on your own goals to see exactly who's been cheering you on.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Slow Weave at none against Progress's 3. Slow Weave also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Progress's advantage is ratings volume (889 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
