About

Alibi

Features
Read full description

Alibi turns your goals into receipts. Say you're going to do something: read a chapter, hit the gym, finish the project. Then prove it with a photo. No pic, no alibi. HOW IT WORKS - Set a commitment (one-time or recurring) with a deadline - Complete it and snap a photo as proof - Your group sees it, reacts, and can vouch for you - Miss it, and everyone sees that too BUILT FOR SMALL GROUPS Create a private group with friends, roommates, or a study squad. Compete on a weekly leaderboard ranked by completion rate, promptness, or total points. No public feed, no strangers, just the people actually holding you accountable. TRACK WHAT'S REAL See your commitment rate, promptness, current streak, and lifetime points. Weekly trend charts show whether you're actually improving, not just showing up once. RECURRING COMMITMENTS Set it once ("Gym, every Mon/Wed/Fri") and Alibi keeps generating the task automatically, in your timezone. Alibi is built on one rule: if you can't prove it, it didn't happen.
