we got you.

open the app and tap "start a pact." pick your commitment (gym, reading, meditation, sobriety, cooking — whatever you want), set your weekly goal and stake amount. you'll get an invite link to send. whoever says yes first gets the spot. no app yet? they can start from the link in their browser. you can also dare someone without the app at buddy.checkmatelabs.app/dare.

anything. we have 13 built-in categories — gym, running, reading, meditation, studying, cooking, worship, journaling, yoga, sobriety, no sugar, no smoking, no social media — plus a custom "other" option for literally anything else you want to commit to.

depends on your category. for "do" commitments (gym, reading, cooking, etc.), you snap a check-in selfie and share it with your rival. for "don't" commitments (sobriety, no sugar, no smoking), you tap to confirm on the honor system — your rival holds you accountable. think a check-in is fake? tap "call bs" on it. a check-in nobody answers counts after 24 hours. no GPS, no complicated steps.

no, never. we only track your commitments and show what you might owe. all actual settling happens directly between you and your rival — venmo, cash app, paypal, zelle, or even creative punishments like embarrassing photos or buying dinner. we never see or touch your money.

since we don't process payments, that's between you two. that's why we recommend pacting with someone you trust. you can also skip money entirely and agree on fun alternatives — cold plunge, public confession on social media, coffee runs for a week. get creative.

yes. on the pact tab, propose a new stake, schedule or number of sessions. it changes when your rival accepts. you can also end a pact anytime and start a new one. settle up before ending.

yes. we collect minimal info (name and pact details). a reduced-size copy of each check-in photo is stored so your rival can verify it in the app. only the two of you can see it, and it is deleted after 30 days. your contact list never leaves your phone; if you pick your rival from it, we keep only their number. check our privacy policy for full details.

open the app, tap "i have a code," and enter your code. it's the one you got when you joined (it looks like ABCDEFGHIJ-KL). lost it? tap "lost your code?" on the same screen, or email us with your name and your rival's name.

check they're on for accountabilibuddy in your phone's settings (settings → notifications), then open the app once so it can register your phone again. still nothing? email us your code and we'll look.

in chat, tap the flag at the top right to report or block your rival. to report a photo, tap the flag on it. blocking ends the pact. we review every report, and remove content or people that break the rules, usually within 24 hours.

in the app: tap the logo at the top left of the dashboard to open settings, then "delete account." it's immediate.

no longer have the app? email support@checkmatelabs.app with the subject "delete my accountabilibuddy account" and your name and pact code, and we'll delete it within 48 hours.

what gets erased: your name, login key, check-in photos, chat messages, your rival's phone number, push tokens and notification settings. your pacts are ended. what stays: the anonymous record of the pact itself (terms, check-in dates, who owed what), shown to your rival as "deleted", so their history still adds up.
