ProveIt
Read full descriptionHide full description
You can't check it off. You have to prove it. Most habit apps let you lie. Tap a box, keep the streak, change nothing. ProveIt removes the box. Every task you commit to has to be proven — and if you don't prove it, the app escalates against you. THREE WAYS TO PROVE IT Photo — snap the evidence and an AI judge decides whether it actually shows what you claimed. Location — the app confirms you were physically at the gym, the office, wherever you said you'd be. Peer — a teammate reviews your proof and approves or rejects it. Every task you create has to use at least one of them. There is no self-attest option. RHYTHM-AWARE SCHEDULING The app learns when you sleep, work, and are actually home, so it only holds you to a task when you're genuinely free to do it. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T Miss a task and nothing quietly forgives you — and it's the clock that punishes you, not a tally of misses. The moment a task is past due, reminders start arriving every hour. Twenty-four hours late, real iOS Screen Time blocking locks the apps you care about until you follow through. Forty-eight hours late, the reminders come every thirty minutes and your crew gets told. Mark a task urgent and it hits that top rung the moment it’s late. CREWS Add the people who will actually call you out. Share tasks, review each other's proof, and watch a live feed of what everyone is getting done — or get matched with someone chasing the same goal. COMMITMENT MEANS COMMITMENT There is no free delete. A task leaves your list when you prove it, or when you spend an "I'm Lazy" token to remove it — which tells your crew you did. You can appeal a rejected proof, but you can't quietly make a commitment disappear. PROVEIT PRO A subscription unlocks the full experience, with a 1-week free trial on both plans. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Privacy Policy: https://proveit-me9bcu.web.app/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: MindNode at 5 against ProveIt's 2. ProveIt's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
