Why do habits stick better with a friend?
Doing something alongside another person makes it easier to show up. Even a tiny signal — "your friend checked in today" — is a reminder that you're not doing this alone. Evaari keeps that signal warm and light: you cheer each other on, and nobody loses anything because of someone else.
How to add a friend
There are three ways:
- Invite link. Send it through any messenger. When your friend taps it and installs Evaari, you're connected.
- QR code. Meeting in person? Open "My QR" and let them scan it.
- @handle. Search for an exact handle. (For people aged 13–15 this option is turned off for safety.)
You can have up to 100 friends. Every feature already works with just one.
What you can do together
- See each other's Evaari. Your friends appear as a row of little Evaari on your home screen. A green ring means they've checked in today.
- React in one tap. Send a hug, a cheer or another preset reaction. Your friend feels a little heartbeat on their phone.
- Wave. If a friend hasn't checked in yet, you can send one gentle wave a day.
- Duo streak. Check in on the same day and your shared streak grows. You can have up to 5 duo streaks. If it breaks, your personal streak, light and forms are untouched.
- Quest for two. Each week you and a friend get a shared goal. Finish it together and you both get a reward — there's no loser.
- An idea for a friend. Offer a small habit idea as a gentle bit of encouragement.
- Friends board. A friendly weekly board with your friends, based on capped daily light so it stays fair.
- Share growth. Every evolution has a short video or card to share. It never shows your habits or mood.
Stories: a photo of your step, for 24 hours
As Moments arrives in your app, you can show Evaari a photo of a step you did — a glass of water, a walk, a made bed. He looks, says a warm word and keeps it in your photo album, where only you see it.
If you like, switch on Show to friends. The photo becomes your story for 24 hours, and a soft golden ring appears around your picture on your friends' screens. Friends answer with stickers — a like, a high five, a sprout, a hug — never with comments. They see which stickers came, not how many. You see who cheered you on, and never who looked.
You choose who sees your stories: all friends, or only the ones you pick. You can hide anyone's stories without them knowing, and turn stickers off. Every photo is checked before anyone else can see it, and there's no public feed. Read more in the Privacy Policy and the Community Guidelines.
A minute with Evaari
After your first step, small mini-games give you a little break with Evaari. There’s no need to compete or keep a conversation going.
Why there's no chat
Evaari has no free text between people — no messages and no comments. Reactions, waves and stickers are presets written in Evaari's voice, and a story is a photo with a short caption, not a conversation. This keeps the space kind and safe, and it means you never have to answer a message to keep a habit going.
What friends can and can't see
By default, friends see your Evaari’s form, your handle, your streak number, cups and league, and whether you've checked in today. You can hide any of these. A photo reaches friends only if you choose to show it, for 24 hours.
Friends never see your mood, your Wheel of Life, your conversations with Evaari, what Evaari remembers or the photos you keep to yourself. Your habit names stay hidden unless you choose to show a specific habit. Before you add your first friend, Evaari shows you a preview of your profile through their eyes.
Is it free?
Yes. Friends, duo streaks, quests for two, stories, stickers and the friends board are free for everyone. On the free plan you can show Evaari one photo a day; Plus allows more. Friends and photos don't give light, so your Evaari still grows only from your own steps.
