About

Obey

Read full description

Obey is a habit tracker designed for consensual BDSM relationships, helping Dominant, Submissive, and Switch partners bring structure, accountability, and communication into their dynamic. Obey combines habit tracking with reward and discipline systems, allowing partners to create routines that support growth, motivation, and trust. Whether your focus is self-care, daily responsibilities, or agreed-upon discipline, the app adapts to your relationship instead of forcing a generic structure. Users can define their role as Dominant, Submissive, or Switch and manage multiple relationships independently. Each relationship has its own rules, limits, and boundaries, ensuring that consent and expectations are always clear. Tasks can be created with schedules and values, generating points or rewards when completed. These points can be exchanged for rewards or used to reduce agreed-upon punishments, creating a balanced and intentional accountability system. Obey also includes private chat for each relationship, with support for photos. Tasks can be validated manually or with a picture, reinforcing responsibility while keeping communication transparent and respectful. A built-in mood check-in helps partners stay emotionally aware and encourages regular reflection, which is especially important in Dominant and Submissive dynamics. Customization is simple and discreet. Users can choose a theme color and enjoy a clean interface designed for privacy. There are no public profiles or social feeds. Everything remains private between partners. Obey is not a game or a role-play simulator. It is a BDSM habit tracker built around consent, structure, and mutual agreement. It is intended for adults who want to bring intention and clarity into their Dominant or Submissive relationships through routines, accountability, and communication. If you are looking for a habit tracker that respects power exchange, limits, and trust, Obey provides the tools to support your dynamic in a thoughtful and responsible way.
