Held vs troth

Goals fail quietly. Held makes them loud. A goal doesn't exist here until it has a deadline and a witness — someone you name, who gets your commitment in writing. Held walks you through it in three steps: the goal, the timeline, the person who will hold you to it. Give it a photograph too, if you want one. Then it sends your commitment through your own Messages or Mail, and the clock starts. THE DAY MARKER Open the app and one number faces you: the day you're on, out of the days you have. No dashboards, no confetti. Just the count. CHECK-INS ON A FIXED CADENCE Daily or weekly — you pick the rhythm when you commit. On check-in days Held asks for three honest things: on track, behind, or done; one line of progress; one next step. Add a photograph too, if you want one. Then it composes the message to your witness. You send it yourself. AN HONEST LEDGER Miss a check-in and it goes on the record. It stays on the record, and your next message to your witness owns up to it. Any photograph you added sits beside that day's line. On deadline day the ledger demands a verdict: kept or missed. Verdicts are permanent. REMINDERS THAT HOLD YOU TO IT A reminder on every check-in day, at the hour you choose. An evening nudge if the check-in is still open. A warning three days from the deadline, another the day before, and a final one when the ledger wants its verdict. Optional daily nudges for weekly goals. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No backend. No analytics. Everything lives on your device, with JSON export whenever you want your data. Held never sends anything on your behalf — every message goes out through your own apps, in your own name. Also: a progress bar on every goal, renegotiation (changing a deal means telling your witness first), stakes ("if I miss, I owe Sandy a spa day"), multiple goals and witnesses, and an interface with nothing to fiddle with. Put something on the line.

Keep your promises. Live a life worth remembering. troth is a companion for the life you mean to live, in three parts. BECOME Build a habit with one tap a day, or quit something and let troth count the days. Write each promise in your own words, and troth reads them back to you at every milestone. Every quit promise has Hold On: ninety seconds of breathing for the hard hour. LIVE Write down the moments you lived: a trip, a first, a day you want to keep. If you don't remember the day, the year is enough. Beside them, Someday keeps what you hope to live, with a date that never turns late. When you are ready, make a someday a promise. REFLECT When a month closes (or two weeks, or a season: you choose), troth writes it as a chapter, on your device, from your own record: what you kept, what you lived, and when you came back. A year's chapters gather in its book. A bad week bends the line. It doesn't erase it. Widgets for your Home Screen. Works offline. No ads, no tracking, and your data is never sold.
