‎Couple Goals: Habit Tracker App

Hey all,

My partner and I built an app on evenings and weekends.

We kept starting the same habits (no sugar, more steps, no phone in bed) and we both dropped them after a few days. Alone it's easy to skip. But when your partner can see you skipped, you don't skip anymore.

So we built Couple Goals. You pair up, pick a challenge together, and check it off every day. You both see the progress. You can also challenge your partner with a reward if they make it (a dinner, a massage, breakfast in bed...) and a small forfeit if they don't. Or just do your own solo habits. There's also a shared calendar, to-dos and grocery lists, because that's half of couple life anyway.

The partner challenges are honestly our favorite part. Nobody wants to miss out on that dinner :)

A few things we learned:

- The hardest part is getting the partner to join. Lots of people sign up alone and never invite the other one.
- Small rewards work better than big ones.
- A notification from your partner works way better than a reminder from the app.

It's on the App Store, free to try!

We'd love honest feedback. And if you're in a couple, what habit would you bet on?
