Questions and answers
What is GLIN?
GLIN ("GLIN: You in?") is a free iPhone and Android accountability app for doing time-boxed challenges, like 75 Hard or 30 days alcohol-free, with one friend. You both log progress, set stakes for quitting, and get notified whenever the other person logs.
Is GLIN free?
Yes. GLIN is free to download and use.
Is GLIN on Android?
Yes. GLIN is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android.
How is GLIN different from a habit tracker?
Habit trackers ask you to keep a habit forever. GLIN is built for sprints with an end date, usually 10 to 100 days, done with one partner who sees your progress and has something at stake with you.
Does my friend need the app?
Yes. Your partner installs GLIN and joins through your invite link, so you both see each other’s progress and get notified when the other logs.
Can I do a challenge alone?
Yes. GLIN works best with a partner, but you can start or continue a challenge on your own.
What are stakes in GLIN?
A stake is your answer to "What happens if you quit?", such as buying your partner dinner or donating to a cause you dislike. GLIN records the stake and shows it to you if you try to end the challenge early; it does not collect or hold money.
What happens if I miss a day?
Your streak is flagged as at risk. You can save your streak or end the challenge early. If your partner misses, you can save them or continue solo.
Can I make my own challenge?
Yes. Name it, choose a length in days or weeks, add actions with point values, set a daily or weekly points target, and pick optional rest days and a reset time.
How many challenges can I run at once?
Up to 5 active challenges at a time.
Is GLIN affiliated with 75 Hard?
No. 75 HARD is a trademark of Andy Frisella. GLIN includes a 75 Hard template so you can track the program with a friend, but it is not affiliated with or endorsed by its creator.
