Web app is live. Public iOS beta on TestFlight.

Where ideas turn into habits.

CBC is a social self-development app for small, intentional groups. Discover, books, goals, a shared feed, and meeting calendars in one place—so you don't just discuss ideas, you apply them.

Why CBC

More than a book club.

Discover, books, goals, and community in one place—so reading turns into action and ideas turn into habits.

Discover

A fun way to vote on books.

Swipe through suggestions one card at a time. Like, pass, bookmark for later, or use a super like—then read the suggestor’s notes. Jump between the main queue, hot picks nearing approval, championed titles, and your saved list. You get three super likes for the life of the club (refunded when that book is chosen); clear the approval bar as a group or with one super like to put a title in the running for a future read.

Like, pass, bookmark, or super like—plus the pitch from whoever suggested the book
Queues for what’s trending, what’s almost approved, and what members are championing
Approval by club support or a single super like—then it’s in the running for a future pick

Books

Track what your club is reading.

Search Google Books or add titles manually. Track reading progress across the group, pick the next book together, and use likes to influence club picks. Filter by theme, status, or sort by title, author, or likes.

Goals

Four goal types. One habit engine.

Set habits with daily, weekly, or quarterly cadences; hit numeric metrics; complete one-time goals; or break big wins into milestones. Check off goals from the dashboard, share completions to the feed, and compete on the habit leaderboard.

Community

A private feed for your club.

Post text and images, tag members with @mentions, and mark spoilers so everyone can read at their own pace. Threaded replies and emoji reactions keep the conversation going. Activity updates for book and goal completions appear in the feed automatically.
