What is a Spotter?

A Spotter is someone you choose to share your progress with. They can see your momentum and completions — plus any task you choose to loop them in on — cheer you on, and give you a friendly push when you go quiet. You pick exactly who's in your circle — it's a small group of people who actually have your back, not a popularity contest.

Adding a Spotter

Tap + Add Spotter to connect with someone. There are a few easy ways:

• Use an Onzy ID — every account has a short Onzy ID. Type in a friend's ID (or share yours) to send a connection request.
• Send an email — switch to the Email tab, pop in a friend's email address, and we'll send them your personal invite link. They tap it to connect.
• Share your link — send your personal invite link by text or chat. When they tap it, they can connect with you in one step.

However someone connects, nothing is shared until you both accept — and a Spotter only ever sees your momentum, when you last finished a task, anything you choose to broadcast, and any task you choose to loop them in on. Your other tasks, notes, and private content stay private.

Accepting or declining

When someone asks to be your Spotter, you'll see their request at the top of the Spotters screen. Tap Accept to connect, or Decline if you'd rather not — they won't be told you said no. A connection only starts once you both agree.

Ways to support each other

From any Spotter you can send a quick message of support. Each one has its own flavour:

• Nudge — a gentle "don't forget" tap on the shoulder for a task they're working on.
• Cheer — a quick celebration when they finish something or reach a momentum milestone.
• Motivate — an encouraging note to help them get going when they're stuck.
• Commit — tell a Spotter you're going to do something, so they can hold you to it.

The activity feed & broadcasts

The Activity tab shows what's happening in your circle — wins, nudges, and cheers as they come in. A broadcast is a short update you post for all your Spotters at once, like "Heads-down for the next hour." It's a simple way to share where you're at without messaging everyone one by one.

"Active now" & presence

A small green dot shows when a Spotter was recently using the app, so you know who's around to do something together. You can turn your own dot off any time in Settings → Privacy & Data → "Show my activity to Spotters."

Challenges

A challenge is a shared goal you take on with your Spotters — like everyone finishing three tasks this week. They're a fun, low-pressure way to keep each other moving and celebrate together when you pull it off.

Co-work focus rooms

A focus room is a quiet "work alongside me" session. When a Spotter is in one, you can join and work on your own thing at the same time — just knowing someone else is heads-down too makes it easier to start. This is sometimes called body-doubling, and it's a favourite trick for beating procrastination.

Your privacy & controls

You're always in charge of what others see and whether people can find you:

• What Spotters can see — tap the lock icon at the top of this screen for the full list. They never see your email, password, or payment details.
• Hide when you're active — turn off the green "active now" dot in Settings → Privacy & Data.
• Stop people finding you — you can opt out of being discovered by Onzy ID, or turn Spotters off entirely, from your privacy settings.

How many Spotters can I have?

On the free plan you can have up to 5 Spotters. With Onzy Pro that goes up to 15. We keep the circle small on purpose — a handful of people who really know your goals helps far more than a long list.
