An app that helps friends set goals and hold each other accountable.

Inspired by Jerry Sienfield's calendar technique: mark a calendar with a big red X for each day where you meet a daily goal (e.g. write jokes for 30 min). Continue marking the X's daily until you achieve a chain of X's. At that point, Sienfield said all you need to keep in mind is "don't break the chain."

Keeping and growing the chain of X's helps motivate you to continue progressing against your goals. GoalBuddy incorporates this calendar system and adds an element of social support and social pressure by having a friend keep track of your progress as well.
