Proof, not promises.

One small group. One Season. A live leaderboard and stakes you actually care about. Coming to iOS.

Every habit app fails the same way.

You miss a day. The app sends a reminder. You swipe it away. Nothing was ever at stake.

Pick your people. Start a Season.

  1. Create a Pod. A small group of people who already know you, competing over a Season of 7, 14 or 30 days.
  2. Pick the tasks. At least three from a library of 50: workouts, deep work, reading, no-junk-food days.
  3. Lock in. Once you're in, you can't back out of a commitment you're behind on.
  4. Points are automatic. Pod scores every task. Nobody types in a number.

Try it. This is a demo: nothing you type leaves this page.

You can't lie your way to the top.

Photo tasks are checked: your proof photo has to actually show the task done. Self-reports get random spot-check audits.

Competing works. Scientists tested it.

Researchers followed 602 adults for six months. Some were cheered on by friends. Some teamed up. Some competed against each other. The people who competed moved the most.

Extra steps a day compared with people going it alone.

Three months after the study ended, only the competitors were still ahead.

Everyone can see your rank.

Standings

You're on top. Now defend it.

You stopped to watch. They didn't.

    The Season ends. Someone wins. Someone owes.

    Your Pod writes the winner reward and the loser consequence before the Season starts. Pod tracks who won and who lost. The group handles the rest.
