Tune in with your friends — and see your goals through. Habits are hard alone. With friends, they get easier. JUPA lets your friends know the moment you're about to give up, and gets you through it with their cheers. Now every challenge also has a pet you raise together. ā–  Every habit is a challenge Create a challenge and invite friends with a link. Starting solo is fine — friends can join anytime. Home shows your pet and one line: how many of you did it today. ā–  One pet per challenge, raised together Pick a pet when you create a challenge. Everyone in it raises the same pet. Ā· It eats as much as your group did today Ā· It starts as an egg and grows: cracked egg, baby, kid, grown Ā· How you raised it decides how it grows up: Steady, Comeback, or Easygoing Ā· Skip two days and it wilts — feed it again and it recovers Ā· Pets from finished challenges stay in your Collection on the Me tab ā–  About to slip? Send an SOS "I really don't feel like working out today." "I want a late-night snack." Right then, press and hold the button, then let go. An SOS goes out to the friends in your challenge. ā–  Your friends cheer you on Friends pick one of the cheer messages you set up in advance and send it. Not generic comfort from strangers — the exact words you wanted to hear, right when you need them. ā–  Two modes: Do and Abstain Ā· Do — habits to get done: working out, studying, reading Ā· Abstain — habits to resist: drinking, smoking, late-night snacks ā–  A tiny device in your hand JUPA looks like a little handheld game. Press the button and your 16Ɨ16 pixel pet reacts. Every day you keep at it fills your stamp card. ā–  Home screen widget See your pet and today's meals at a glance, and check in without opening the app. ā–  JUPA Pro Ā· Create as many challenges as you like (free: 1 active challenge you created — joining friends' challenges is always free) Ā· Unlock all 12 pets (free: Antenna Jelly only — you can always raise the pet in a friend's challenge, no Pro needed) Ā· One-time purchase. Not a subscription. No chat. No likes. No strangers. A few friends, a few buttons, and one pet. That's all it takes.
