Goals, with the people who actually keep you honest.
Small groups. Real check-ins. Optional money pools that settle when the group ends. For families, friends, teammates — anyone who does better with a little skin in the game.
Accountability, the way it actually works.
Solo streaks fade. Public challenges feel performative. What sticks is a small group of people you trust, checking in on something that matters.
Personal goals
Pick a metric, a target, and a unit — run 30 km a week, read 4 books, save $500. Everyone in the group sets their own.
Quick-logs & posts
Log a number in two taps, or share a photo with a caption when you hit a milestone.
Group chat & reactions
Cheer each other on, call out the no-shows, and keep the banter in one place.
Optional money pools
Stake a small amount. At the end, the leaderboard drives the split. Payments happen between members — we never hold your money.
24-hour stories
Share a progress shot that disappears tomorrow. No pressure to curate.
Clean settlement
When the group ends, we compute a draft split. The admin confirms, and members tick off what they've paid.
Four steps. About two minutes.
From group creation to final settlement — the rhythm that keeps everyone honest.
- 1
Make a group
Pick a name, emoji, and dates. Decide whether to run a money pool. Share the invite code.
- 2
Set your goal
Each member picks their own target. You're competing with yourself — not the person next to you.
- 3
Check in daily
Log progress. Drop a photo. React to each other's wins and rough days. The group stays small so it stays real.
- 4
Settle up
We propose the final split. The admin confirms, members tick off payments sent. Then you start the next one.
Small circles, big changes.
Siblings chasing a shared habit
Morning runs, reading, saving — the stuff that's easier when Mum's in the thread too.
Friends running a 90-day challenge
Stake £20, pick a target, meet back here in three months with photos and receipts.
A couple saving for something
Track contributions, celebrate hitting it, keep the pressure friendly.
Teammates in the off-season
Keep the base-building honest without a coach breathing down your neck.
Questions, answered.
Is Familymaxxing free?
Yes — creating groups, setting goals, chatting, and checking in are all free. Money pools are optional and always member-to-member; we never take a cut.
Do you hold the money in the pool?
No. The app tracks contributions and computes the final split, but payments happen between members using whatever works for your group — Venmo, Cash App, bank transfer, cash in hand. You mark payments as sent and received inside the app.
How many people can join a group?
Groups work best between 3 and 8 people. Small enough that everyone’s presence matters, large enough for a real group chat.
What kind of goals can we track?
Any quantifiable target — kilometres run, books read, money saved, workouts logged, pages written, jars of salsa not eaten. You set the metric, target, and unit.
What happens when the group ends?
We compute a draft leaderboard and a proposed split based on the rules you set up front. The admin confirms, and members tick off payments as they happen. Then you can clone the group and go again.
Is it on iOS and Android?
Yes — both stores. Same features on both. Sign in with Apple or Google and you’re in.
Can I leave a group partway through?
Yes. If there’s no money pool, you just leave. If a pool is active, members vote on how your stake is handled — refund, forfeit, or carry over.
Ready to start a group?
Grab the app, send an invite code to three people you trust, and see what a fortnight of honest check-ins actually looks like.
