Challenges, against people you know

Competing against strangers on a leaderboard motivates almost nobody. Competing against one friend who will mention it works surprisingly well.

  1. 01 Pick a metric Steps, sessions, or whatever you both agree on
  2. 02 Invite a friend One person or a few, from your friends list
  3. 03 It keeps score Automatically, from what you are already logging
Small, short and against someone specific. That is the version people actually finish.

How they work

Choose what you are competing on and over what period, invite a friend or a few, and the app scores it from data you are already logging. Nothing extra to record.

Why against a friend specifically

Public leaderboards are demotivating for almost everyone who is not near the top, and the top is occupied by people whose lives differ from yours in ways the leaderboard does not show.

One person you know, over a fortnight, with something small at stake is a completely different mechanism — and it is the one that survives the first bad week.

The rest of the social side

Friends are added by code or QR. There is 1:1 chat with photos and voice notes, and a friend map that forgets after 24 hours. Nothing here is public.

Questions

Do I need friends on the app to use it?

No. Everything works alone, and the social features are optional.

Is there a public leaderboard?

No. Challenges are between people who have accepted each other as friends.

What can we compete on?

Metrics you are already logging, such as steps or completed sessions, over a period you agree.
