Thank you for suggesting! We really appreciate you thinking about ways to make Habitify more engaging.
We've actually been discussing similar social/community features internally. While we love the potential for mutual encouragement and accountability that friend connections could bring, we want to be thoughtful about how we implement social features as the following key considerations:
Many of our users value Habitify as a private space for personal development
Social features need careful privacy controls and data handling
Adding social connections would increase app complexity
Development resources are currently focused on core habit-tracking functionality
We're keeping your suggestion in mind as we plan future updates. Would you be interested in sharing more about how you envision using social features with your friends? For example:
What specific progress would you want to share?
How would you prefer to interact with friends in the app?
Your input helps us better understand what would be most valuable to our users.

I was about to post a similar request so Iām hopping here to reply for my and my friendsā intentions: we would like to have a way to nudge each other on habits that may have lost a streak, for example if their trend in self care goes down, give some sort of encouragement or notification. We would also like to be able to celebrate milestones, like ācongrats on one month without smokingā. And finally, maybe a tab with a collection of habits shared with us, based on the share by link page but within the app instead of in the browser.

Perhaps the social feature could be for phone contacts only, so it isnāt so much of a public domain, but something only you would share with your close social circle.
I have an accountability partner, and we always update each other on Fridays on our goals for the week next, wins and losses of the current. Part of that is talking about our habits and how consistent we are being. When we share and are honest, we end up wanting to do better! We have tried many habit apps in which we can see our progress of our habits and consistency, but either the layout isnāt nice, it doesnāt function well, or thereās limitations within the app itself for personal use. For me, I just want to be able to see their progress, and for him to see mine so I stay accountable. There could be a feature thatās added where we can choose what we want to make visible to our friends as well in case some we want to keep private.
Additionally, maybe adding a feed where we can share our progress on to it could work instead. Then I can give him a little thumbs up emoji response as support.
So yeah, essentially just a really simple extension into what is already there. No need for messaging or chats boxes etc, just a simple share and support system would be amazing.
