Fridge is a social habit-tracking app where users post personal progress updates and stay accountable through peer support. Friends approve updates, users build streaks, and consistency is rewarded with actual perks. It's designed as an alternative to social media that emphasizes real progress over engagement metrics.
Key settings to review:
- Friend requests & visibility: Confirm whether habits and progress are visible only to approved friends or to a wider community. If open to strangers, restrict visibility.
- Notifications: Disable push notifications if they drive compulsive checking.
- Reward redemption: Check whether cash-out or gift-card redemption requires payment info or age verification.
- Blocking & reporting: Verify that users can block or report inappropriate comments on habit posts.
