Weekly accountability for people in recovery

Accountability that actually works

Weekly check-ins with people you trust. See who showed up this week, read shared updates, and track your own consistency over time.

Meetings help. But what about the other 6 days?

Your group meets once a week

But the real battle happens between meetings

Group chats get noisy or go silent

Important updates get lost in the scroll

Your accountability partner isn't always available

Life gets in the way of consistent check-ins

Progress is hard to track

No clear picture of your journey over time

Contend keeps you connected — with a steady weekly rhythm and personal stats on your own participation.

How Contend works

Get started instantly.

1

Create Your Group

Invite your accountability partners, sponsor, or recovery group. Only they can see your check-ins.

2

Check In Weekly

Answer reflection questions on your own time. See who else has checked in. Stay connected.

3

See Your Patterns

Your dashboard shows streaks, consistency, milestones, and when you usually check in — based on your own check-ins.

Progress you can actually see

Your weekly check-ins add up to streaks, consistency, and simple participation patterns — on your dashboard and profile, for you only.

Streaks and consistency

Current and longest streaks, plus what share of weeks you've checked in since joining

Your patterns

Typical day and time you check in, how thoroughly you answer questions, and trends in response length

Celebrate milestones

Built for people who need to trust the tool

Every feature designed with privacy and consistency in mind.

Private Groups

Invite-only groups with private codes. Only people you trust see your check-ins.

Custom Questions

Write prompts that match your program, starting from sensible defaults on the group. Browse recovery-oriented question ideas on our site for inspiration — there isn't a template picker inside the app.

Weekly Rhythm

Sustainable accountability — not daily tracking that burns you out. Each group sets its own week start and check-in deadline.

Consistency Tracking

See your progress over time. Celebrate consecutive weeks of showing up.

Group Visibility

See who's checked in and read published updates. Comment and react on check-ins so encouragement stays with the thread.

Gentle Reminders

Optional email nudges before the week ends — only if you opt in and set your timezone.

Draft, then publish

Save a draft, come back when you're ready, and publish when you want the group to see your week.

Activity at a glance

Your home dashboard shows recent check-ins and updates across the groups you're in.

Designed for the days in between meetings

Contend isn't a program — it's the accountability layer that keeps you connected between sessions.
