Onboarding

Overview

When you first sign up for Peaky Twins, you are guided through a multi-step onboarding flow. This wizard introduces you to the core features of the app, helps you set up your profile, and gets you started with your first Goal and a potential accountability partner.

The onboarding flow consists of six steps. You can complete them all in one session or return later — your progress is saved automatically.

The Six Steps

1. Profile Setup

   Complete your profile by entering your name, timezone, commitment level, goal type, goal category, and communication preference. This information helps personalise your experience and lets potential partners understand your working style.

2. Media Upload

   Optionally upload a profile photo and an intro video. These are shown to other users when they browse for potential partners, helping you make a strong first impression. Both uploads are optional — you can skip this step and add media later from your profile page.

3. How It Works

   Read an overview of the core Peaky Twins concepts: Goals, Challenges, Karma, and Streaks. This step is informational — no action is required. It gives you the context you need to get the most out of the app before you start creating content.

4. First Goal

   Create your first personal Goal. After entering a title, the app will offer up to five AI-generated task suggestions based on your goal. You can accept or dismiss any of the suggested tasks using checkboxes before they are saved. This step gives you an immediate sense of how Goals and AI Task Generation work together.

5. Partner Discovery

   Browse available users who are looking for an accountability partner. You can send a partner request to someone whose profile resonates with you, or skip this step if you prefer to find a partner later. Skipping does not prevent you from finding a partner after onboarding — you can always visit the partner browse page from the main navigation.

6. Completion

   Confirm that your setup is done and proceed to the dashboard. This final step marks your onboarding as complete and takes you into the main app experience.

Skipping Onboarding

On the very first step (Profile Setup), you have the option to skip the entire onboarding flow. Choosing to skip at this point marks onboarding as complete and redirects you directly to the dashboard — no further steps are shown.

If you skip onboarding, your profile will be incomplete. You can fill in the missing profile details at any time from the profile page without re-triggering the full onboarding flow.

Note that the skip option is only available on step 1. Once you advance past the first step, you must complete or individually skip each remaining step.

Progress and Resuming

Your onboarding progress is saved automatically after each step is completed. You do not need to finish all six steps in a single session.

If you close the app or navigate away mid-flow, your progress is preserved. The next time you log in, the onboarding flow will resume from the last completed step — you will not be sent back to the beginning.
