Forge is a habit challenge app where you duel a friend - and a referee rules
every day. No honor system, no self-reported streaks: somebody else calls it.
HOW A FORGE WORKS
• Pick a challenge from a curated library of 32 positive habits across
Movement, Nutrition, Discipline, Home and Learning & Focus.
• Invite an Opponent by email - even if they're not on Forge yet, we email them the invite.
• Pick your referee: a third friend as Judge, or the free AI Judge.
• Run it for 3, 7, 14 or 30 days.
• Each day both competitors submit quick proof - one photo, a video hard-capped at 60 seconds, or a start+end timestamp pair.
• The Judge rules the day: a winner, a tie, or (after the day ends) a no-show.
One tap plus an optional note. Rulings are final.
• A live scoreboard, streak and score track who's ahead.
WHY A JUDGE
• No honor system, no cheating - every day is ruled by an impartial referee.
• Retention is built in - someone is watching every day, and waiting on your
proof to do their job.
• Kinder than a solo tracker - you compete with a friend, not against an app.
NO SPARE FRIEND TO REFEREE? USE THE AI JUDGE
• Choose an AI referee at forge creation instead of a third friend - the forge
starts as soon as your Opponent accepts.
• Once you both submit the day's proof, it rules the winner automatically.
• Too close to call? It rules a fair tie and flags the day, so you always know
when it wasn't sure.
• Free on every plan, and it never ghosts.
LEVEL UP AS YOU WIN
• Earn points for every day you win and every forge you take - points scale
with challenge length, so long forges are worth far more.
• Climb 10 levels, Ember to Mythic, on lifetime XP.
• Unlock badges: first day won, first forge, 100 lifetime points, a perfect
3-forge run, a 6-month scoring streak, and more.
• Track points month by month with day-wins and forge-wins broken out.
• Make the monthly Top 30 leaderboard - and earn a fair-referee reputation on the Top Judges board, scored on rulings delivered and forges refereed on time.
NEVER MISS A DAY
• Push notifications carry the loop - you've been challenged, your Opponent
submitted, proof due today, a day needs your ruling, the Judge ruled, your
forge is complete.
• An evening proof reminder nudges you while the day is still open.
• Compete anywhere - proof capture works with no signal. Shoot in a basement gym or on a trail and it uploads itself the moment you reconnect.
FAIR AND SAFE BY DESIGN
• Only curated positive habits. No custom or free-text challenges, no diet,
calorie or weight-loss goals - ever.
• Money and outcomes never touch: an entry fee buys entry to a challenge (a
service); winning earns non-cash score only. No wallet, no payout, nothing
to cash out.
• Winners-only leaderboard - there is no public "losing." Losing a day stays
gentle and private to the three participants.
• Your proof stays private - photos and videos are never public. Only the
people in your forge can open them, through links that expire within the hour.
• Profile pictures are automatically screened before they appear.
PRICING
• Free to download. Your first forge is free.
• After that, a one-time entry fee per forge ($1.99–$5.99, scaling with
length). Run one forge at a time on the free tier.
• Forge Premium - run up to 5 forges at once, entry fees waived on every forge, and Premium profile cosmetics (profile color, avatar frame, name flair).
• Lifetime - one payment, Premium forever.
• 7-day Premium trial included.
Challenge a friend to a positive-habit duel - a third friend referees it.
