Show HN: Group accountability for atomic habits (iOS)
joinsquad.co
The WhatsApp challenges turned out to be a hit with over 85% checking in daily and 45% repaying to join multiple challenges.
After having tried Streaks, Habitify, GTD, reminder apps, google calendar, Notion...etc—I was still having trouble staying consistent with my personal/wellness goals and habits. Methods from Atomic Habits by James Clear—are what worked best for me—but sticking to it alone was hard. For example, I had a daily push-up reminder on my google calendar that I ignored for almost a year.
Fast forward, I’m now on day 120+ doing push-ups, meditation and waking up before 6am—after participating in group accountability challenges :)
To see if we can scale it to help more people and potentially build a community-driven business—we just released an iOS app.
Recap of how it works:
- Join 10-30 day accountability challenges in small groups of 3-12 people
- Commit a daily goal and check-in with the group on whether you didn’t or didn’t do it
- Daily visual progress reports, reward credits/penalties and support from others helps everyone stay on track
- Create and join private challenges with friends
Would love to have you try it by joining a challenge—and see if could help you become the person you want be for 2023!
