Clock'd In helps you build better habits by keeping you accountable to your circle, and to a coach who notices what's actually working. BUILD YOUR ROUTINE Create daily habits and clock in every day to keep your streak alive. Whether it's working out, reading, meditating, or studying, Clock'd In keeps you on track one day at a time. HABITS THAT FILL THEMSELVES Connect Apple Health and your habits fill themselves in from the apps you already use: runs, walks and rides from your iPhone, Apple Watch or run app, and calories, protein and water from your food app. Choose which app fills each habit, and anything you type yourself always stays. MEET ORI, YOUR COACH Ori reads your real history, not a template. She'll notice that reading sticks on the nights you leave the book out, and suggest the same move on the habit that keeps slipping. Ask her to add a habit, change a reminder, break something into a smaller step, or drop a step that isn't helping. She does it, and you can undo it any time. DUEL YOUR FRIENDS Pick a habit, pick your friends, and race to a target. First one there wins. Duels run for a set number of days with a live leaderboard, so everyone can see who clocked in and who didn't. Every duel has its own chat for the trash talk. Start one from the Explore tab. STAY ACCOUNTABLE WITH YOUR CIRCLE Find and add friends by username, see their clock-ins and shared moments in your home feed, and cheer them on when they show up. Clock'd In turns habit building into a team effort. CLOCK IN & SHARE When you complete a habit, clock in with a photo or a short video to show your circle you put in the work. Add your stats from Apple Health right on the picture: distance, pace and time for a run, or the day's number for any other habit. It's proof of progress, not just a checkmark. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Watch your streaks grow as you stay consistent. View completion stats, see your habit history, and celebrate milestones. Your progress is always at your fingertips. DIRECT MESSAGES Chat with your friends directly in the app. Send messages, share photos, react to what they send, and send a clock-in straight into a conversation. REMINDERS & NOTIFICATIONS Set push notifications so you never forget a habit. Get reminders at the times you choose, and stay in the loop when friends interact with your posts, invite you to a duel, or send you messages. CLOCK'D IN+ Clock'd In+ is available as a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription. Prices are shown in the app and on this page, and may vary by region. The free plan gives you 5 habits, one goal for Ori to work on, and 3 messages with her a day.
