Accountability deadlines. Trusted people.
Tattle Timer helps adults set commitments, invite trusted Accountabilibuddies, and arm consequences that only activate after consent, verification, and provider enablement.
Contacts choose whether they want accountability messages and how they can be reached.
Proof media stays private unless a user deliberately shares an approved artifact.
SMS, voice, and email are used only where verified, consented, and enabled.
Tattle Timer
The user invites people they actually know.
Contacts choose channels, categories, and preferences.
Messages are provider-gated and consent-checked.
STOP, HELP, Press 9, preferences, and support paths.
How it works
Tattle Timer is built around manual invites and contact control. The ideal outcome is simple: the user does the thing before the timer runs out.
Set a commitment
The user names the task, deadline, proof type, and whether it should be Standard or Strict.
Invite an Accountabilibuddy
The user manually shares an invite link. Tattle Timer does not cold-text or cold-call contacts.
Consent is verified
The contact confirms 18+, enters their own endpoint, verifies it, and chooses preferences.
We notify only if needed
If a deadline is missed, delivery is checked against consent, safety, caps, and provider availability.
Accountability without surprise contact.
Tattle Timer is not anonymous messaging, prank calling, or public shaming. It is opt-in accountability between adults who choose the relationship and the delivery channels.
- Email, SMS, and voice channel choices.
- Quiet windows, frequency caps, and opt-out.
- Tone, profanity, voicemail, and category preferences.
- Pause, revoke, block, and report controls.
- Commitment title, deadline, and proof method.
- Who gets invited and which contacts are selected.
- Whether sensitive wording needs safer public phrasing.
- Whether the timer is armed after previews and checks.
SMS, voice, and email are gated.
External delivery is supported only where the contact opted in, the channel is verified, provider approval is active, and safety checks allow the message.
US-first texting with explicit opt-in, message frequency disclosure, HELP, STOP, suppression, and concise one-segment-friendly copy.
Prerecorded accountability calls where enabled, with caller identity, prerecorded/AI disclosure, opt-out by Press 9, and recording prompts before voice notes.
Email delivery remains consented and verified, with preference links, abuse reporting, and safe wording for private or sensitive commitments.
Proof media stays private by default.
Photos, receipt screenshots, generated call audio, contact recordings, and transcripts are treated as private media. Tattle Timer does not put proof photos in SMS, voice, email, or receipts by default.
Media should use private storage, short-lived access, and retention rules instead of permanent public URLs.
Sensitive commitments use generic wording externally unless the contact explicitly opted into the relevant category and detail level.
Shareable artifacts, if enabled, must be user-initiated and sanitized rather than exposing contact data or private proof.
Built for review, then launch.
This public site is structured for App Store, Telnyx/10DLC, and provider review: product explanation, consent model, SMS terms, privacy, support, account deletion, and opt-out paths are all public and inspectable.
