Doin' vs HabitShare.

Both apps add a social layer to goals. But they're solving different problems — and the difference matters before you commit your group to one.

What each app actually does

HabitShare is a habit tracker with friend visibility. You track your own daily habits — streaks, completions — and friends can see your progress. It's built around individual behaviour change with social observation layered on top.

Doin' is a challenge app. There is no individual tracking — the entire structure is group-first. One person issues a challenge with a time limit, shares a link, and everyone who joins is on the same board. The challenge ends. Results lock. There is no ongoing tracking mode.

The core mechanic difference

HabitShare uses a checkbox. You mark a habit done, friends can see it. The social proof is passive — a history of checked boxes.

Doin' uses photo proof. Every day, every participant uploads one photo as evidence. The photo is timestamped server-side — you cannot fake the time. If you miss a day, your streak breaks publicly on the leaderboard. There is no checkbox to click.

Time-boxing: permanent vs. ongoing

HabitShare is designed for ongoing habit maintenance — indefinite streaks that you hope not to break.

Doin' is time-boxed. Every challenge has an end date (1, 7, 14, or 30 days). When it ends, results lock permanently on every participant's profile. The binary who-finished vs. who-didn't is the social pressure. There are no infinite streaks, no resets, and no deleting history.

Groups and brands

HabitShare is built for individuals sharing progress with friends. Groups are informal — friends add each other and watch each other's habits.

Doin' scales to any audience. The same invite-link flow works for 2 friends or 10,000 brand customers. Doin' has a dedicated brand tier with white-label challenges, participation analytics, UGC photo galleries, and CSV exports — features HabitShare does not have.

Which one to choose

Choose HabitShare if: you want to track multiple ongoing habits indefinitely and share slow, steady progress with a small group of friends.

Choose Doin' if: you want to commit a group to a specific goal for a set period, with unfakeable photo proof, public results, and stakes. Doin' is for people who want to actually do the thing — not track whether they did.
