The workout app that makes quitting difficult. AccountaBuild is fitness accountability with the people you actually know. Join a small group: your friends, your gym buddies, your family. Every workout, weigh-in, and logged meal shows up for all of them. No followers, no influencers, no strangers. Just your people, watching you show up. EARN FITNESS POINTS. CLIMB THE RANKS. Every log earns Fitness Points, scored against goals you set yourself. Tougher goals are worth more. Climb a competitive ladder from Iron to Challenger, division by division, exactly like a ranked game. Miss a week and you slip. Your group will notice. That's the point. A WEEKLY RACE THAT RESETS EVERY MONDAY. The leaderboard isn't about who joined first. Everyone re-enters at zero each week. Streaks build multipliers. Hit checkpoints on your weight goal and bank points along the way, not just at the finish line. SIGN YOUR WEEK. Every Monday, hold to sign. A small ritual that tells your group you're in this week. Everyone sees who signed. Everyone sees who didn't. CHEER. NUDGE. CELEBRATE. Send hype when a teammate logs. Nudge them when they haven't. When someone hits their goal weight or jumps a rank tier, the whole group celebrates, automatically. SYNCS WHILE YOUR PHONE IS IN YOUR POCKET. Connect Apple Health and workouts appear on their own. Finish a session on your watch and your group sees it minutes later, before you've touched the app. Manual logging takes seconds when you'd rather type it. YOUR WEIGHT STAYS PRIVATE. Teammates see your workouts, streaks, points, and progress. Never your body weight. Health data is never sold, never used for ads, never shared. BUILT FOR SMALL, REAL GROUPS. • Group chat with your group's logs woven into the feed • Weekly report every Monday: what you earned and why • "See the math": every point is explainable, no black box • Badges for streaks, comebacks, goals crushed, and marathon weeks • Progress dashboards: you vs your group, week by week Nobody left behind. Sign your week. Show up.
