Plan your own work, then take it on beside friends, teams or a whole community.
I AM HERE WITH...
Pick a goal, invite two friends, and work on it beside each other for a week. No one gets to quietly drop it.
Perk: Winner picks the next movie night
Free while in beta · No card · No money in the app
Tap a day to see what sideby looks like.
Tick tasks off and watch the group move. Friends can cheer you on.
Not a roadmap of promises. These are working today in the beta.
Say how long a task takes and points follow. Your plan locks at the start, and final results never change.
Rank on follow-through, or pool points toward one shared goal with milestones at 25, 50, 75 and 100%.
A monthly team goal and a weekly challenge are always open, so there is something to join today.
Search public challenges, see the hottest five, and spot the ones that offer a perk.
Hosts meet the group on Zoom or Meet, once, daily or weekly, with reminders and add-to-calendar.
Start a focus timer and let the people beside you see you are working. Nobody works alone.
Hosts can offer a gift or a shout-out. They deliver it themselves; sideby never handles money.
Turn a recap or a result into a Story or feed post. Task names and other people never appear.
What you finished and how it compares with last week. Rest days are fine and there are no streaks to lose.
Finisher, Top three, Personal best and Contributor badges for following through, not for being loudest.
Share wins, ask questions and swap what you are learning, with a short guide pinned at the top.
Choose what to hear about, in the app and as push, with quiet hours. No ping for every task ticked.
Invite links, late-join rules, removing people, archiving, perks and live sessions. You run your own challenge.
See what is planned, request what you want, and vote. Approved requests show up for everyone.
Task notes are never shared. Report anything that feels off. No payments, deposits or wagering, ever.

Yes, while in beta. No card is needed, and no money moves through the app. Hosts can offer a perk and deliver it themselves.
People in your challenge see your task names unless you choose "Totals only". Your notes are never shared. Private challenges never appear on your profile.
Nothing happens. There are no streaks to lose. Your recap simply shows what you finished.
Only if you want it to be. Competitive challenges rank people on the share of their own plan they finish. Collaborative ones pool points toward one goal.
Yes. Anyone can host. Share an invite link, or list it in Discover.
