Daily tracking. Live leaderboards. An AI Commissioner who sees everything.
And days that adapt to real life, school, vacation, weekends, work travel.
Most solo goals are quietly abandoned within weeks. Streak apps count days, not growth. Without real people watching, your brain treats every goal as optional.
Decision fatigue is real. Day 3 you skip "just once." Day 8 the app is buried in a folder. Day 14 it's deleted.
Checking a box for 60 days doesn't mean you grew. Most habit apps reward showing up, not what you did when you showed up.
When no one's watching, the cost of quitting is zero. Real change requires real witnesses.
No coaching, no nagging, no algorithm. Just structure, science, and people who care.
Power Couple, Home Team, Friendly Fire for your crew, Young Legends for students, Solo Battle for just you, or The Daily Grind for work. All Access unlocks everything.
Names, colors, photos. Add each person's email and they get a sign-in link straight to your scoreboard, or start with just yourself and invite everyone later from inside the challenge.
Build your list straight from the library, every idea research-backed and sorted by theme, or write your own under any theme. Set point values, tune day types (school days, vacations, work travel), then set the stakes.
Check off tasks daily and watch the live leaderboard. Label any day, School Day, Vacation, Work Travel, and your task list adapts to it. Talk trash in the group chat while an AI Commissioner calls the game. Set stakes that hurt to lose, or rewards that motivate the kids. Either way: everyone's watching.
Every task in Fortify maps back to peer-reviewed research on what actually changes human behavior.
Healthy relationships, romantic, family, or friendships, have 5 positive interactions for every 1 negative. Real Talk, Trust Fund, and Prime Time tasks build that ratio at any age.
People are 2–3x more likely to follow through when they specify exactly when and where they'll do something. Every task is concrete.
45% of teens say they spend too much time on social media. Kids with consistent daily routines have 40% better emotional regulation. The Young Legends library is built on this data.
Pre-committing to real stakes, or rewards, for younger players, dramatically increases follow-through. You set what's on the line; Fortify keeps it visible to everyone.
Fortify also runs as a benefit you give, to members, clients, employees, and students. You bring the community; we bring the engine, the scoreboard, and the Commissioner.
Run member challenges that keep people walking back through your door, Sweat Equity, Dream Team, and custom tasks built around your programming.
Assign habits in session, see real follow-through by the next one. Clients get structure and momentum; you get visibility that homework actually happened.
Offer team challenges as a wellbeing benefit, or bundle Fortify into your PEO benefits stack as an included perk. The Daily Grind ships ready for 14 departments.
Run Young Legends challenges for a classroom, team, or youth group, screen time, sleep, friendships, family, and focus, tuned to middle school, high school, or college. FERPA-aware school deployments available.
Who we are. Fortify ("Fortify," "we," "us") operates fortifychallenge.com, a habit-challenge service for individuals, families, friends, and teams. Legal entity: The Fortify Challenge, Pittsburgh, PA. Contact: support@fortifychallenge.com, Pittsburgh, PA.
Account data: name or nickname, email, password (stored as a hash by our authentication provider), optional profile photo. Challenge data: challenges, tasks and points, daily check-offs, day labels (School Day, Vacation, and similar), cheat and sick day use, scores, prizes, and commitments you write. Messages: chat inside your challenge, visible only to its members, and questions you send our help assistant. Technical data: basic logs needed to run the service; if we add product analytics we will name the tool here.
To run the product: scoreboards, invitations, notifications, the optional daily email digest, and the AI features below. We do not sell personal information, we do not run advertising, and we do not share personal information except with the service providers listed here.
The Commissioner and the help assistant are powered by Anthropic Claude models. To write bulletins, player first names or nicknames and challenge statistics (scores, check-off counts, day labels, prize text) are sent to Anthropic for processing. Help-chat questions are sent with our product documentation. Passwords, email addresses, and member-to-member chat history are not sent to the AI for bulletins.

Fortify is built for families and treats kids’ data with extra care. You must be 13 or older to create an account. Children under 13 participate only inside a challenge created and managed by a parent or guardian, who consents during setup and when sending invitations. For players under 13 we collect the minimum needed to play: a display name or nickname, an email a parent provides for sign-in, and challenge activity. We never use children’s data for marketing, never sell it, and never show ads. Parents may review, correct, or delete their child’s information, or withdraw consent, anytime via support@fortifychallenge.com; verified requests are honored within 30 days. School deployments are governed by a separate agreement consistent with FERPA. [ATTORNEY: confirm COPPA verifiable-consent mechanism.]
Challenge activity may reflect lifestyle and wellness information you choose to track (sleep, exercise, and similar). Fortify is not a healthcare provider, is not medical care, and is not a HIPAA covered entity. Where state consumer-health-data laws apply (for example Washington’s My Health My Data Act), your consent at signup and challenge creation is how this data is collected and used, and the rights below apply.
Access, correct, export, or delete your data, or close your account, by emailing support. Account deletion completes within 48 hours, backups within 30 days. Residents of states with privacy laws have the rights those laws provide through the same contact; we do not sell or "share" personal information as those laws define it.
We keep challenge data while your account is active so your history works. Data is encrypted in transit, access is restricted with row-level security, and chat is visible only to members. No system is perfectly secure; we will notify affected users of a breach as law requires.
Material changes get a new effective date here and email notice to account holders.
These Terms govern your use of Fortify (fortifychallenge.com), operated by The Fortify Challenge ("Fortify," "we"). By creating an account or using the service you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
You must be at least 13 to create an account. Children under 13 participate only through a challenge created and managed by their parent or legal guardian, who is responsible for their participation and provides the consents described in the Privacy Policy. You are responsible for your credentials and what you submit.
Fortify provides habit structure and motivation for general wellness only. It is not medical, psychological, or therapeutic advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and the Commissioner is an entertainment feature, not a clinician. Consult a qualified professional before changing health routines.
You own what you create and grant us the limited license needed to operate the service. You agree not to harass members, post unlawful or harmful content, upload content you lack rights to, probe or disrupt the service, or use Fortify to harm minors in any way. Chat is private to each challenge; we may remove content or suspend accounts that break these rules.
Commissioner bulletins and help replies are AI-generated, can be wrong, and are provided as-is.
Fortify is free during beta. Paid plans, if introduced, come with clear notice. We may modify or discontinue features as the product evolves.
The service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for claims relating to the service is limited to the greater of $100 or amounts you paid us in the prior twelve months, and we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages. Some jurisdictions limit these limitations, so parts may not apply to you.
Delete your account anytime via support@fortifychallenge.com. We may suspend accounts that violate these Terms.
Governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. [ATTORNEY: arbitration clause, venue, consumer carve-outs.]
