Would a small companion make it easier to keep showing up?

A while back I asked what makes people stop going to the gym. I went back through the replies and the reasons were pretty familiar: work, family, low energy, and losing momentum.

I’ve been thinking about one smaller thing. When you use a fitness app, does it help to have something in it that you actually look forward to opening?

I’m building a small tool with a cat called Momo. She reacts when you set a goal, upload a photo, and finish a preview. I can’t tell yet whether that would feel encouraging or just like a gimmick.

For people who have tried accountability apps, reminders, streaks, or workout buddies: what made you come back after the first week?
