Fair questions,
straight answers.

Dare is an accountability app for iPhone that locks the apps you choose when you miss a fitness goal you set: daily steps, weekly workouts, or an active-calorie target. Goals are verified automatically through Apple Health, and the lock lifts as soon as you make the goal up.

Dare uses Apple's built-in Screen Time technology (Family Controls) to restrict the apps you selected when a goal is missed. You choose exactly which apps are on the line. Dare never picks for you, and emergency calling is never affected.

Dare reads steps, workouts, and active energy directly from Apple Health. There is no manual logging, no photo proof, and no self-reporting. Verification is automatic and sensor-based, so it cannot be gamed by tapping a button.

Three types at launch: daily steps (hit a step count every day), exercise (a set number of workouts per week, minimum 20 minutes each), and Move (a daily active-calorie target, most accurate with an Apple Watch).

The apps you put on the line lock until you make the goal up. Finish the walk or log the workout, and they unlock automatically the moment you catch up. Hit your goals on time and nothing ever locks.

Not realistically. Verification comes from Apple Health sensor data rather than self-reporting, and gym goals cross-check location with real movement. There is no "mark as done" button to lie to.

Dare has flexibility built in: bank a rest day and spend it when needed, move a scheduled session to another day, or pause everything for a rest week. All before the deadline, all without a lock.

No. Steps and workouts are read from your iPhone and Apple Health. An Apple Watch makes the Move (active-calorie) goal more accurate, but it is not required.

Your health data is read through Apple Health only to verify the goals you set. It is never used for advertising and never sold. Activity metrics and your goal history sync to your own private account so they survive a reinstall; the apps you choose to lock stay on your device as opaque Apple tokens we never see. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail.

App blockers restrict your phone on a schedule; habit trackers count streaks and hope you care. Dare connects the two: your apps stay open as long as you keep the promise you made, and lock only when you break it. The consequence is conditional on your real-world behavior. That is what makes it work.

You can, but you should not. You choose every app on the line, so keep work, banking, health, and safety apps off it. Dare is a commitment device for distractions, not a cage, and emergency calling is never affected.

No. Dare is iPhone-only. It is built on Apple Health and Apple Screen Time, which have no Android equivalent.
