motivational feedback loop
Motivational feedback loop
Positive feedback from your accountability group creates a "dopamine loop" which creates a self-reinforcing cycle of motivation and action.
Variable rewards
Incentivized rewards & penalties
Our credit system incentivizes you with tangible rewards and penalties to help you stick to your goals . They act as a forcing function for action by tapping into your innate desire to seek reward and avoid loss.
Shared commitment
Shared commitment with like-minded community
By being in an environment with people who have similar aspirations and goals, you leverage the powerful influence of belonging to make yourself more likely to align your behaviour with the norms and expectations of the group.
Guided goal setting
Guided goal setting for easy action
Guided daily goal setting and progress tracking is designed to make taking daily action easy, satisfying and attractive—to give you the best chance of taking action consistently toward success.
Time bound challenges
Time Bound Challenges
By time-bounding a challenge (eg. 7 days), it gives you a clear goal to keep yourself accountable and also makes it look more achievable to you.
Mindful reflections
Mindful Check-Ins
Daily check-in's and progress tracking are optimized for 'showing up' honestly whether you succeed or fail — with prompted questions that foster a habit of honest reflection and mindfulness

Really Works

Having accountability really helped me straighten up my act. I wish it was for longer so look forward to joining the next one. I've also completely stopped making excuses the past few days after the challenge!

Best accountability app
starstarstarstarstar
Helped me get started building a habit of studying and exercising regularly. So much better than all the other habit apps out there!

Amazing app
starstarstarstarstar
Squad has been very helpful to me, knowing that I have to make myself accountable end of the day pushes me to try to do something during the day. I don’t want to report that I didn’t do anything or see the same low performance report every day, so I try do more to give a good report of myself. It is the reminder ringing in my head to go and get it done. So I don’t get left behind. Thank you so much to the team.

Gamechanger

I've been using Squad for a few months now and it's been a total game-changer for me. The group accountability has helped me build a habit I've struggled with for over 4 years. Hard to overstate how impactful this has been for my life.

I really starting see progress in my fitness journey. Would love more fitness specific metrics, but group check-ins and progress reports have kept me on track!

Keeps me consistent

Squad has been hands down the best in helping with my inconsistency. It's easy to use and makes you want to make a note of what you signed up to do. I still slip up sometimes but I get right back on track
