# Make showing up a daily check-in. > Create a daily accountability activity in one WhatsApp message. Poko checks in at your chosen time and tracks weekly progress plus your lifetime completed days. Tell Poko what you want to keep doing and when to check in. Each day, answer with one tap and see your weekly progress grow without losing the days you already completed. ## How do accountability check-ins work on WhatsApp? Text Poko **keep me accountable for going to the gym at 8pm** and he creates a daily activity at that time. When the check-in arrives, tap Completed, Remind in 30 min, or Not completed. Completed adds one day to that activity's Monday–Sunday weekly progress and its lifetime total. Not completed and unanswered days add nothing, but they never erase earlier completed days. Send **progress** whenever you want to see every activity's current week and lifetime total. ## Choose an activity. Make it yours. Tap an example to open WhatsApp with it ready to send, or write the same idea in your own words. Accountability check-ins are daily in this version. - `keep me accountable for going to the gym at 8pm` — a daily gym check-in at 8pm - `hold me accountable for studying at 7pm` — a separate daily study activity - `account me for reading at 10pm` — the short version works too - `keep me accountable for meditation daily at 7am` — daily can be said or left implicit - `progress` — see this week and all completed days - `change accountability gym to 8:30pm` — move one activity to a new daily time - `cancel accountability gym` — stop future check-ins and keep the history ## Example **You:** keep me accountable for going to the gym at 8pm **Poko:** ✅ 🏋️ **Gym** accountability check-ins set for every day at 8:00 PM. First check-in: today at 8:00 PM. **Poko:** Your scheduled daily activity check-in is due. Activity: 🏋️ **Gym** Scheduled date: 14 Sep 2026 Weekly record: 2/7 completed Update today's activity record below. **You:** Completed **Poko:** Done ✅ This week: **3/7**. Lifetime: **42 days**. ## A clear answer, once a day ### One tap closes the loop Every check-in asks for one factual update: Completed, Remind in 30 min, or Not completed. There is no form to fill in and no open-ended coaching conversation to manage. ### Progress without punishment Completed days add up for the current Monday–Sunday week and across the activity's lifetime. A skipped or unanswered day adds nothing, but it does not wipe out work you already did. ### Each activity keeps its own count Gym, reading and meditation stay separate, each with a related emoji and its own daily time. Send progress to see every active activity together whenever you want the full picture. ## Questions about accountability check-ins **Are accountability check-ins the same as reminders?** No. A reminder tells you something at a chosen time. An accountability check-in asks what happened and records your answer for that activity. Start one with “keep me accountable for…” so Poko knows which workflow you want. **Can I choose certain weekdays?** Not in this version. Accountability activities check in every day at one time you choose. Weekly schedules and selected weekdays are not supported yet. **What happens if I miss a day?** Nothing is taken away. A Not completed or unanswered day does not increase the count, and it does not reset or remove any completed day. The next daily check-in arrives as usual. **Is weekly progress a streak?** No. It is the number of distinct completed days in the current Monday–Sunday week, shown out of seven. It starts fresh each Monday, while your lifetime total keeps growing. **What does Remind in 30 min do?** It keeps today's check-in open and sends it again 30 minutes later. It does not add a completed day. If it is too close to midnight, the check-in stays open only until the day ends. **Can I track more than one activity?** Yes. Each activity has its own check-in time, emoji, weekly progress and lifetime total. Send “progress” to see all active activities in one reply. **Can I change the time or stop an activity?** Yes. Send “change accountability gym to 8:30pm” to move the daily check-in, or “cancel accountability gym” to stop future check-ins. Cancelling keeps your completed-day history. **Is it included in the free trial?** Yes. Accountability check-ins are included with everything else for the first 7 days, then they remain part of the Pokobot subscription. ## Pairs well with - [Recurring Reminders](https://www.pokobot.com/features/recurring-reminders.md): Use a reminder when you only need the nudge.
