✓ You're officially in
You're in.
Now prove it.
Welcome to the PROVE IT private beta. You signed up to be our gloriously annoyed guinea pig — and we love you for it. The app has one job: fire an alert that won't shut up until you physically get off the couch and go prove it. Here's everything you need to get started.
How it works: annoys you until you move
No willpower required. Just a tag, an alarm with zero chill, and your own two feet.
1
📍
Tag the spot
Stick a Shelpful Smart Tag wherever you need to get to — or somewhere you need to touch before leaving. By your meds, the dog leash, your laundry basket...

🔔
The alert fires
At go-time, PROVE IT sounds an alert that won't shut up. Snoozing is not on the menu, babe.

🤳
Tap to prove it
The only way to silence it: walk over and tap your phone to the tag. That's it. You got there. You proved it.
3 ways to set it off
Choose your trigger. Mix and match. Get annoyingly productive.
⏰ Time-based
⏰
Alarm at a time
Set it for a specific time — like a regular alarm, except it won't stop until you walk to your tag and tap it. The classic. The one that will get you out of bed.
"7am alarm → walk to the tag by the coffee maker → silence achieved"
⚡ You can set one-time alarms too — not just recurring ones.
📍 Arrive
📍
Arrive at a location
The alarm fires when you get within ~100 meters of a designated phone-location — home, work, etc. Perfect for one-time "I absolutely cannot forget this when I get home" moments.
"Heading out? Set a Prove It for when you arrive home: take the trash out." You won't forget.
🚪 Leave
🚪
Leave a location
The alarm fires when you leave a location — and won't stop until you tap a tag, proving you did the thing after walking out the door.
"Leaving the office → alarm fires → tap your wallet tag → prove you didn't forget your friggin wallet
What will you prove?
