you know what you should be doing. you're not doing it. here's the fix: pick a rival. pick a habit. put real money on the line. check in with a photo. your rival decides if it counts. miss your week? you pay them. they miss? they pay you. that's the whole app. it works because losing to a friend hurts more than skipping. --- HOW IT WORKS: 1. pick a rival. or a group. someone who won't let you slide. pull them from your contacts or type a name. or dare three to six people at once. 2. pick the habit gym, running, reading, meditation, studying, cooking, journaling, yoga, worship. or quitting something: sugar, smoking, social media, drinking. or name your own. 3. set the stake $5? $50? $500? pick the number that gets you off the couch. 4. send the dare one link. text it, whatsapp it, drop it in the group chat. they can say yes from the link before they even install. rival not answering? open it up. first one to accept takes the spot. 5. start without them check in while you wait. your rival joins already behind. 6. check in with proof take the photo. it goes straight to your rival in the app. 7. your rival rules on it they verify it or they call bs. no gps. no sensors. just someone who knows you. if your rival doesn't respond within 24 hours, it counts anyway. 8. settle up sunday morning the verdict lands. loser pays the winner directly. in a group, whoever missed pays into the pot and the ones who made it split it. venmo, cash app, zelle. we never touch the money. --- WHY IT WORKS: money makes it real. a goal with nothing on it is a wish. a rival makes it personal. you can lie to an app. you can't lie to someone holding your photo. skipping gets expensive. the doubler raises your stake every scheduled day you miss. one verified check-in resets it. --- FEATURES: - 13 habits plus your own - stakes from $1 to $500 - run several pacts at once and switch in a tap - group pacts for 3 to 6: miss and you pay the pot, make it and you split it - friends can accept your dare from the link, no install needed - daily, weekdays, weekends or custom schedules - photo proof, shown to your rival in the app - call bs on a check-in. they get 24 hours to defend it. - a check-in nobody answers counts after 24 hours - open challenges: one invite, several people, first to accept wins - head start: check in before your rival even joins - deadline alerts when missing today would actually cost you - weekly verdict every sunday - streaks and milestones - the doubler: miss a day, the stake grows - trash talk chat - shareable receipts when you win - settle up with venmo, cash app or zelle - dares for the ones who'd rather not pay cash --- NOT ANOTHER HABIT TRACKER. we don't count your steps. we don't sync with your watch. we don't send you a gentle reminder with a plant on it. we care about one thing: did you do it? your rival is the judge. your wallet is the consequence. --- PRIVACY: - no gps. no location data. - check-in photos are visible only to the people in your pact - photos delete themselves after 30 days - your contacts stay on your phone - nothing sold to anyone - delete your account in settings. it's gone. --- FREE. no subscriptions. no ads. we don't take a cut. just you, your rival, and a reason to show up. --- show up. or pay up.
