Check-Ins is a concept for a social accountability app using the BeReal model. There are many daily tasks people wish to do everyday. The overarching design philosophy behind these screens focus on fostering a supportive community atmosphere that encourages consistent participation and accountability. The use of familiar social media conventions aims to reduce the learning curve and make the app more approachable for new users.
This screen serves as a social feed where users can see check-ins from their friends and community groups they are following. The idea is to encourage engagement by showcasing recent check-in activities, creating a sense of a lively and active community. The screen employs a familiar social media format with a focus on visual engagement through user-generated content.
The interface is designed to minimize distraction, focusing the user's attention on the task at hand, making it easy to quickly check-in. Users can quickly snap a pic and get back to their activity.
We encourage users to discover new community groups in a "subreddit fashion" to join. It provides a platform for users to expand their network of accountability and find groups that align with their interests or goals.
Here, users can track their own check-ins for various activities, which are likely customizable. The screen is designed with clarity in mind, using checkmarks and color-coded text to indicate the status of each task (completed, pending, or nearing deadline).
I love the idea of an app like this. It's something I see my friends and I using daily. Social apps are hard to launch and get users, especially those who consistently post. However, the key will be tapping into tightly-knit, hyper-active communities that already like to keep each other accountable. The workout and spiritual niches will probably see the best reception.
