First to blink loses. Gawkin is the world's first LIVE staring contest — real 1v1 video stare-downs with an honest referee: your own phone judges your own eyes with Face ID precision, so nobody can cheat you. You've seen the staring-contest challenge everywhere. This is the real thing — a live opponent, a fair ref, and a clip of both faces the moment somebody cracks. Press BEGIN. Get matched for a live duel. 3… 2… 1… STARE. THE HONEST REFEREE • Blink detection runs entirely on YOUR device with the TrueDepth camera • Each phone judges its own player — nobody can cheat you • Eyes-closed-at-start = instant loss. Look away? That's a blink. LIVE AND LOUD • See your opponent over live video while you battle • Talk trash on voice chat or fire off quick messages • Works in the dark — your screen becomes a fill light RUN IT BACK • Best-of-3 duels and instant rematch to settle the score • Skip a no-show and get matched with someone new • Save match clips — only when BOTH players agree to record PROVE IT • Global leaderboards: total stare time and matches won • Solo Stare: train against the clock, beat your best • Eye Gym: a gaze-controlled target game to sharpen your stare • Challenge friends directly with a room code or a friend invite GAWKIN PRO (optional monthly subscription) • No ads, best-of-3 duels, instant rematch, and post-match chat • Full-length match clips, saved straight to your device • Auto-renews monthly until cancelled in Settings Gems are an optional in-app currency for tipping the winner or gifting friends. They're for fun — never cashable. Requires an iPhone with Face ID (TrueDepth camera). A staring contest needs two of you — bring a rival. --- Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://gawkin-backend.gawkin.workers.dev/privacy
