Quota vs HabitShare: sharing habits vs proving them
Short answer: HabitShare is a free habit tracker where you choose which habits each friend can see, and they see your check-ins. Quota is built around one daily goal per group, with a photo or short video taken in the app that day as proof and a streak the group keeps together. Pick HabitShare to share several habits lightly; pick Quota when a check-in is no longer enough.

- You'd like a fixed midnight deadline and agreed rules for misses.
The real question
Is seeing a friend's tick enough to keep you going? For some people it is. If it isn't, proof is the next step up. See accountability app vs habit tracker.
