Habits that stick when a friend's on the hook too.
Most habit apps let you give up in private. Friends with Habits doesn't. Pact with a friend, check in daily, and keep each other on streak.
Get it on Google PlayWhat is Friends with Habits?
Friends with Habits is a habit-tracking app that requires an accountability partner. Instead of tracking a habit alone, you make a pact with a friend: you both commit to the same daily habit, you both check in with proof, and you both see it when the other one misses.
It is free, made by Therr, Inc., and available on Android through Google Play while an iOS version is in the works.
How it works
-
1
Create a pact
Pick a habit — workout, reading, meditation, anything daily.
-
2
Invite a friend
You can't do this alone. Your friend joins and becomes your accountability partner.
-
3
Check in daily
Add a photo or quick note as proof. Watch the streak grow together.
Why accountability changes everything
How often people follow through on a goal when they have a standing accountability appointment with someone else.
How often the same goal gets done when it stays an idea you never commit to anyone. Solo apps can't bridge that gap. We make accountability the default.
Figures from the American Society for Training & Development's study on commitment and goal follow-through, which found a 10% follow-through rate for a goal you only have an idea about, rising to 95% when you have a specific accountability appointment with the person you committed to.
How it's different from other habit trackers
- A partner is required, not optional. Streaks, Habitify, Done and most other habit apps are built for one person. Here a pact needs two, so there is no version of the app where nobody notices you stopped.
- Check-ins carry proof. Every daily check-in takes a photo or a note, so a streak is evidence rather than a tap.
- The streak is shared. You and your partner are on the same streak, so a missed day costs both of you — the reason it is uncomfortable is the reason it works.
- It is free to start. No waitlist, no invite code, no card. Install it and make your first pact.
Frequently asked questions
Is Friends with Habits free?
Yes. Friends with Habits is free to download and free to use. It is currently in open testing on Google Play, so anyone can install it without a waitlist or an invite code.
What is a pact?
A pact is a daily habit that you and a friend commit to together — a workout, a reading session, a meditation, a language lesson, anything you want to do every day. The pact holds the habit, the schedule, and the streak that the two of you share.
Do I need a friend to use the app?
Yes, and that is deliberate. A pact needs two people, so you invite a friend when you create one. Solo habit trackers let you quit in private, which is the failure mode this app exists to remove. If your friend has not installed the app yet, your invite link walks them through it.
How do daily check-ins work?
Each day you check in on your pact and attach a photo or a short note as proof. Your partner sees the check-in, you see theirs, and the shared streak grows for every day you both show up. Miss a day and the streak resets for both of you.
Is Friends with Habits available on iPhone?
Not yet. Friends with Habits is on Android via Google Play today, and an iOS version is next on the roadmap. Your account works across every Therr app, so an account you create on Android will carry over.
Who makes Friends with Habits?
Friends with Habits is built by Therr, Inc., the company behind the Therr app for local discovery and community. The two apps share one account system, so a single Therr login works for both.
