How to Create Your First Habit Challenge with Friends

Why Social Accountability Works

Building habits alone is hard. You skip a day, then two, then you give up. But when you're doing it with friends? Everything changes. Research shows you're 65% more likely to complete a goal when you commit to someone else.

That's why we built Challenges—a way to build habits together, compete on leaderboards, and celebrate wins as a group.

Creating Your First Challenge

Step 1: Pick Your Habit

Navigate to the Challenges tab and tap Create Challenge. Choose from these options:

• 3-Day Sprint: Perfect for trying something new or testing a habit before committing long-term
• 7-Day Challenge: The sweet spot for building momentum without overwhelming commitment
• 30-Day Marathon: For serious habit builders ready to make lasting change

Step 2: Set the Rules

Decide on the habit you'll all work on together. Some examples:

• Exercise for 30 minutes daily
• Read 10 pages every night
• No social media before 10 AM
• Cook dinner at home 5 times this week

You can make it flexible (e.g., "exercise 5 times this week") or strict (e.g., "exercise every single day"). Whatever works for your group!

Step 3: Invite Your Friends

Tap Invite Friends and share the challenge link via text, WhatsApp, or social media. Friends can join with one tap—no complicated sign-up process.

Pro tip: 3-5 people is the sweet spot. Small enough that everyone stays engaged, large enough to create healthy competition.

Step 4: Track Daily and Compete

Every day, mark your habit as complete. The leaderboard updates in real-time, showing who's in the lead. React to your friends' progress with GIFs and emojis—celebrating wins together makes the whole experience more fun.

Step 5: Use Group Chat

Each challenge has its own group chat. Use it to:

• Share progress photos
• Encourage someone who's struggling
• Plan the next challenge together
• Celebrate when someone hits a milestone

Tips for Success

• Start small: Your first challenge should be achievable. A 3-day challenge is perfect for beginners.
• Pick something everyone wants: Make sure all participants are actually interested in the habit.
• Set a specific time: Instead of "exercise daily," try "exercise every day at 7 AM."
• Celebrate publicly: When someone completes the challenge, make a big deal out of it in the group chat!
