of people who wrote their goals down and sent weekly progress to a friend either finished them or got more than halfway. Of the people who only thought about their goals, 43% got that far.

How it works
A goal. A friend. A next step.
01
Name the thing.
Choose a goal that matters to you. Start with something small enough to do today.
02
Connect with friends.
Add a suggested friend during onboarding. If you arrived through an invite, connect with that person too.
03
Check in and keep going.
Your saved goal updates appear when you check in. Send encouragement, share a photo, or take the next small step.
94 studies
Across 94 studies and about 8,000 people, naming exactly when and how to start had a medium-to-large effect on follow-through (d = 0.65). A small next step gives your goal somewhere to begin.

A third
In a randomised trial, smokers offered a commitment contract were about a third more likely to have quit six months later. The study tested commitment contracts, not Fika; Fika does not hold or charge a stake.

The other half
It's a real to-do list too.
Book the dentist, file the taxes, fix the bike. Ordinary tasks stay private. Completing one never sends a notification to your friends.
Do dates and deadlines are different things. A deadline is the only thing that turns red. A do date is you deciding when to get to it, and it never nags.
Repeats, reminders, categories, notes. Every weekday, the second Tuesday, every other week. Search, filter, group and sort the lot, or select a pile and move them at once.
Share a goal when you choose. Use goals for the progress you want to share. Keep your everyday to-dos as private tasks.
No catch
What Fika doesn't do.
It only works if you and the person you asked both keep turning up. Anything in the way of that is working against the product.
✓Private tasks. Your ordinary to-dos never notify friends.
✓Reminders on your terms. Set a time for yourself; it does not schedule a report to friends.
✓No ads, and no data sold. Your commitments aren't a product.
✓Free right now. Every feature is open and you don't enter a card to start.
✓iPhone only, on iOS 17 or later.
Before you download
The honest questions.
What's an accountability partner in Fika?
A friend you connect with for encouragement and shared goals. You can see each other's shared progress and send notes. Ordinary tasks stay private, and goal notifications go to the people participating in that goal.
What if I don't have anyone to ask?
Onboarding includes suggested friends to help you get started. Add at least one, then invite someone you know when you want to. You can still keep ordinary tasks private.
What do my friends see?
Accepted friends can see your profile and public goal progress in Fika, including check-ins, photos, and notes you share, even when they are not assigned to that goal. Completion notifications go only to the goal’s participants. Your ordinary tasks stay private. Full detail is in the privacy policy.
Is Fika free?
Yes, all of it, right now. No paywall, no limits, no trial and no card to enter.
Is there an Android or web version?
Fika is currently available on iPhone with iOS 17 or later. Friends you invite need an iPhone too.
What if I stop using it?
Then it did not work and you should delete it. You can delete your account and everything in it from inside the app, without emailing anybody or waiting on support.
Pick the thing. Pick the person.
Fika is free on iPhone. The rest of it is between the two of you.
