What is HARDER?
HARDER is a challenge app for iOS and web. Every challenge ships with its daily steps already written, every completed day needs proof (a photo, a text, or an Apple Health reading), and a missed day never sends you back to the start. 200+ challenges across 20 categories, always open.
How it works
How does a HARDER challenge work?
02
Follow what's already there
Each day has its step, written before you arrived. You don't plan. You open the app and do the thing.
03
Prove it
Photo, text, or Apple Health. Twenty seconds. Later, on a bad day, the evidence argues for you.
For everyone who quit after one slip
What happens when I miss a day?
Nothing resets. You pick up where you stopped. The floor-level version of your task, one page instead of thirty, counts in full, because on some days showing up at all is the task.
Need a clean slate anyway? Restart a personal challenge. Attempt 1 stays in your history. Attempt 2 starts today.
What's in the app
Built for the days you don't feel like it.
proof
A checkbox will lie for you. A photo won't.
Every completed day needs a photo or text proof. No proof, no day.
// 20 seconds, once a day
apple health
Some proof posts itself.
Steps, distance, exercise minutes, mindful minutes, workouts. The app reads Apple Health and verifies the day for you. Raw samples never leave your phone.
// read-only, revocable any time
always open
No start date to wait for.
Rolling challenges stay in the catalog forever. Join on a Tuesday night and Tuesday night is day 1.
// fixed-date challenges exist too, with leaderboards
comeback
The missed day doesn't erase anything.
Floor-level versions of your task count in full. Restart a personal challenge and the old attempt stays in your history.
// Attempt 2 starts today
offline
Works on the subway.
See what's due, tick it off, attach a Health reading. It syncs when you're back online, and tells you if anything didn't land.
// 'Saved offline. Syncs when you're back.'
make your own
Write the steps once. Do them forever.
Build a challenge for yourself, a private group, or the public. Pick actions from a curated library or write new ones.
// personal · private · public
Spaces
Who sees my proof?
You decide. Every challenge is personal, private or public. Public ones live in a Space feed where real people finish the same challenge you're on, day by day. Not a testimonial. Evidence.
Follow spaces, message participants, run more than one identity from one account.
Real objections, real answers
Questions people actually ask.
I've tried apps like this many times. Why would this work?
Because the template was the problem, not you. Every habit tracker hands you a blank page to fill and manage every day. HARDER never does. Every challenge ships with its daily steps already written, which is the difference for anyone whose executive function is the bottleneck.
What happens if I miss a day?
You pick up where you stopped, not at Day 1. The floor-level version of your task counts the same as the full one, and nothing you already proved gets erased.
Do I have to wait for a start date?
No. Rolling challenges are always open. You join any time and start on your own day 1. Fixed-date challenges with a shared calendar and leaderboard exist too.
What counts as proof?
A photo of the completed step, text where a camera makes no sense, or an Apple Health reading (steps, distance, exercise or mindful minutes, workouts) that the app verifies automatically.
Does everyone have to see my proof?
No. Challenges can be personal or private, so proof stays between you and the people you choose. Public is the default power move, not a requirement.
Is it free? Which platforms?
Joining challenges is free. HARDER is on iPhone (iOS 26) and the web. Sign in with Apple, Google or email; you can delete your account any time from Profile.
