Early access — beta opening in waves

Skip the gym and your buddy finds out.

Pick your days. Pick your gym. Pick the person whose opinion you actually care about. GPS confirms whether you showed up — and if you didn't, they get a text. No self-reporting, no checking a box, no lying to a streak.

The real problem

You don't need another tracker. You need a witness.

You've had the app with the streaks. You've had the calendar with the checkmarks. You marked yourself present a few times you weren't, the streak stopped meaning anything, and by March the membership became a $49 monthly donation.

📉

The February cliff

January's resolution crowd thins out fast — most people who start in January are gone within a few months, and nobody notices when it's your turn.

Streaks you can edit

Every habit tracker lets you tap "done" from the couch. A streak you can fake is a screenshot, not a system.

The buddy who also skips

Gym buddies work great until you both text "not feeling it today" and mutually let each other off the hook.

💸

The donation membership

Gyms make money on the people who don't come. You already know which category you're in this month.

How it works

Three steps. Zero trust in future-you.

1

Set your days and your gym

Pick the days you're committing to and drop a pin on your gym. GymSnitch draws a geofence around it — that's the only place it's watching for.

2

Pick your snitch

Enter the number of someone whose disappointment lands: your training partner, your brother, your ex-college-teammate group chat. They get one text explaining they've been chosen.

3

Show up — or they hear about it

Walk into the geofence on a committed day: silence, streak intact. Don't: one text goes out that night. Deleting the app doesn't save you either — the text fires when we don't hear that you went, so silence is the trigger.

The science-ish part

Nobody skips leg day when someone's watching.

External accountability is the most reliable behavior-change lever there is — it's the whole reason personal trainers work even when they're just standing there counting. You show up for other people long before you show up for yourself. GymSnitch automates the person. You bring the healthy fear of hearing about it on Thursday.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Are you tracking my location all day?

No. GymSnitch checks one thing: whether your phone entered the gym you picked during the window you set. It's a geofence check, not a location history — we don't log where else you go, and your buddy never sees your location, only whether you made it in.

What does my accountability buddy actually see?

One text on days you committed to and skipped: something like "Billy said Monday, Wednesday, Friday. It's Wednesday 9 PM and he hasn't been to Iron Works. You know what to do." They don't see your workouts, your weight, your location, or anything you didn't sign up to share.

Can't I just turn the app off or delete it?

You can delete it any time. The text still goes out — because we send it when we don't hear that you went. Silence is the trigger, so revoking permissions, force-quitting, or leaving your phone face-down on the couch all look identical to skipping. There's no quiet way out, which is the entire point. (And if you're driving to the gym to drop your phone off, honestly, you're already there.)

How many days a week do I have to commit to?

You choose. Two days a week you actually hit beats five days you invent and abandon. Most people start with three and add a day once the streak stops breaking.

Will it be free?

Early access members get the beta free. At launch we expect a few dollars a month — real texts cost real money to send, and a price tag means we never have to sell your data. It'll still cost less than one month of the membership you're not using.

Your gym isn't the problem. Your privacy is.

Nobody knows when you skip — that's the entire bug. Join the early access list, pick your person, and put a witness between you and the couch.
