Foca turns consistency into a game. Every workout, healthy meal, or glass of water becomes a photo check-in in your friend group — and every check-in earns points on the ranking. Disappear for three days? Everyone sees it. Show up all week? Everyone sees that too. HOW IT WORKS • Create a group and invite friends with a link • Post photo check-ins in three categories: exercise, food, and water • Check-ins earn points on weekly, monthly, and yearly rankings • React to your friends' check-ins — bring the fire or the seal of approval • Follow your month in the progress calendar, photo by photo 30-DAY CHALLENGES Any group can become a challenge with a start, an end, and a champion. Perfect for a "no-excuses January" or getting ready for summer. YOUR GROUP, YOUR RULES Group owners decide how many check-ins count per day in each category. Someone posted a run that never happened? The group can flag it as "Doesn't count" and the points drop instantly (PRO feature). FOCA PRO For those who take it (even more) seriously: • Join up to 5 groups at once • Full reaction pack • Flag check-ins as "Doesn't count" — or restore them • Full ranking history, never expires • Unlimited members in groups you create • Post one check-in to all your groups at once FOCA PRO+ extends it to 10 groups, with everything in PRO included.
