Shared with the circle
Your display name, your initials, and today's completed and scheduled counts as a percentage.
Private circles
Accountability tracker
Accountability works better between a few people than in front of an audience. A RitualSprout circle shares one number per person per day and keeps everything else private.
- Invite-only
- Twelve people maximum
- No public leaderboard
What a circle actually shares
Members see a short daily summary of each other and nothing more. This is enforced on the server, not just hidden in the interface.
Never shared
Habit names, symbols, colours, notes, history, streaks, reminder settings and email addresses stay private.
Membership required
Circle data is only returned to signed-in members of that circle, so a link alone reveals nothing.
How invites work
Invites are deliberately short-lived and hard to guess, so an old link in a group chat cannot quietly let someone in months later.
- The circle owner generates a link with a random opaque token and copies it to the clipboard.
- The link expires seven days after it is created.
- Opening the link while signed in joins the circle and drops the token from the address bar.
- A circle holds up to twelve members, and each account can be in up to five circles.
- The owner can delete the circle for everyone; any other member can leave at any time.
Why there is no leaderboard
Ranking people by streak length rewards the person with the easiest week, not the person who needed the nudge most.
- Members are listed in a stable order, not sorted by score.
- Percentages are today's completion only, so a bad month is not on permanent display.
- There are no reactions, comments or streak-loss alerts to perform for.
- An optional twenty-one day challenge is tracked on your own workspace, and joining it is never announced to the circle.
What this page does not promise
Useful search results start with an accurate promise, so the current limits are on the page rather than discovered after signing in.
- Circles show today's aggregate counts only. There is no shared history, chart or export of other members.
- Invitations are by link. There is no email invitation, member removal, ownership transfer or role system yet.
- Everyone in a circle needs their own free RitualSprout account with Google sign-in.
- RitualSprout is a habit record and reflection tool, not medical, mental-health, or behavioural advice.
- It does not guarantee an outcome, and a streak is only a record of the check-ins entered by the user.
- Private notes stay private; accountability circles are invite-only and expose bounded aggregate progress.
Questions about accountability tracker
Can my accountability partner see my habit names?
No. Circle members only receive a display name, initials and today's completed and scheduled counts. Habit names, notes and history are never included in the response.
How many people can join one circle?
Up to twelve members per circle, and an account can belong to five circles at once.
How long does a circle invite last?
Seven days from the moment it is created. After that the link stops working and the owner can generate a new one.
What happens if I leave a circle?
You disappear from the members list immediately and your progress stops being shared. Your own habits and history are untouched.
