Bond turns habit-building into a shared experience. You build streaks with friends, track progress together, and stay consistent through social accountability.

Inspiration

I was inspired by a simple but frustrating reality: most people fail to maintain habits not because they lack motivation, but because they build them alone. Existing habit-tracking apps focus on individual streaks. Notifications become background noise, motivation fades, and users disengage within weeks. I saw a clear engagement gap in habit platforms — a lack of social accountability and emotional investment. Bond was created to transform habit-building from a solo task into a shared commitment.

What it does

Bond is a group-based habit tracker that allows users to build shared streaks with friends. Instead of tracking habits alone, users: Create or join habit groups Build shared streaks Receive customizable daily reminders Stay accountable through social visibility and commitment If one person breaks the streak, the group feels it. This introduces emotional accountability and increases consistency. Bond turns discipline into connection — making habits stick through social engagement.

How we built it

Bond was built using: Flutter for cross-platform mobile development (iOS & Android) Firebase Authentication for secure user login Cloud Firestore for real-time streak tracking and group data Push Notifications for daily customizable reminders Structured streak logic to calculate and maintain group consistency I focused heavily on clean UI/UX to ensure habit tracking feels intuitive & engaging rather than overwhelming.

Challenges we ran into

I faced technical challenges around: Real-time synchronization of streak data, took a while to finally function properly. Handling notification scheduling across devices (still not implemented as the service powered by firestore is still not available in my country, but soon will)

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Building it as a cross-platform production-ready app Building both the frontend and backend which is long-waiting experience! UI/UX of the app Implementing real-time group streak mechanics Transforming a common productivity tool into a socially engaging platform

What we learned

Learned Firebase as I tired it for the first time & Cloud firestore. Real time synchronization of data across different accounts How to make apps responsive and resizable to different screens. Concluded that simplicity in UI increases consistency Most importantly, Patience

What's next for Bond - Group Habit Tracker

Gamification features to increase motivation. Payment features to restore streaks when missed.
