You said the Lakers were a lock. Your buddy said no chance. Now what? Calledit lives inside iMessage. Make a call right in any conversation — pick the question, set two sides, and your friends tap to join. When the result lands, you tap to call it, and Calledit keeps the score. No money flows through the app. We just keep the receipts. WHAT IT DOES • Make a call inside iMessage — your friends see a card and tap to pick a side • Bring it your way — points, dollars, dinner — Calledit just tracks the agreement • Calls show up in the chat as live cards that update every time someone joins • Resolve from the same card when the result is in • Friend roster auto-builds from the people you actually call with THE LEDGER After resolutions, Calledit tallies who owes whom across every call you've made together. Tap a name to settle: • Open Venmo with the amount and note pre-filled • Open Cash App with your friend's profile loaded • Use Apple Cash inside the same iMessage thread • Or just mark it settled — Calledit doesn't process money THE STATS Your overall record, lifetime net, current streak, and a per-friend breakdown showing your biggest rivalries. Share your record with one tap. PRIVACY FIRST • Calledit doesn't process payments or hold balances • All your call history syncs only between your own devices via iCloud • Friends never see anything you didn't deliberately send them • Export everything to JSON or wipe it all from Settings → Manage Data WHO IT'S FOR The friends who call dibs over text. The roommates settling who-cooks-tonight. The coworkers keeping a tally of who called the playoff bracket. Anyone who's ever said "remember when I told you?" Calledit puts the score in writing. Nobody forgets again.
