Backmonkey
helping you quit 🌽 (no 🥜 november challenge)
Get picks like this daily. Today's launch numbers, the top launches, AI and tech news, and a daily opportunity pick, straight to your inbox.
We built the app to help you quit 🌽. Or really any bad habit tbh. You and your buddies make a digital monkey that you keep alive by checking in daily (with everyone either keeping their own individual monkey alive or sharing a monkey amongst the tribe where if one person slips up, everyone feels the consequences). Feel a craving? Ping a friend or have your monkey guide you through an urge control exercise. Free version with lives, or paid pledge mechanic for folks who need higher stakes.
