How the programme works

Places are limited

We run the hunt with a small group on purpose — a few dozen testers we can actually read and answer, rather than a mailing list. Leaving your email puts you on the list; it doesn't guarantee a place.

We admit up to the number of places open at the time, and who comes in beyond that is at the Phase Fitness team's discretion. If we're full when you sign up you stay on the list, and we write to you when a place opens.

What you get

• Every Pro feature, with no card on file and nothing to cancel.
• 100 AI credits a month — the same allowance a paying Pro subscriber gets.
• A direct line to the people building the app. Your reports reach us, not a queue.

What we ask

• Use the app on at least 4 separate days a month. Distinct days, not logins — a tester who opens the app once and leaves it running hasn't tested anything.
• Fill in the intake form once, at the start. Five questions about what you use today and what would make you switch.
• Send one short report a month. What you tested, what held up, what didn't. About three minutes.
• Report bugs when you hit them, not at the end of the month. They're worth far more while you still remember what you did.

How long it lasts

Up to 6 months of free Pro, counted from your first sign-in — not from the day you left your email, so nothing is lost if you join now and start later.

It can be renewed for another 6 months for exceptional contribution, at the Phase Fitness team's discretion. We're not going to pretend that's a formula: it means reports that changed what we built.

If you miss something

Falling short of 4 active days drops you to the free credit allowance for that one cycle. You keep your tester status and every Pro feature, and the credits come back the next cycle.

Missing a monthly report doesn't remove anything automatically — a month where life gets in the way is still a month. But the programme is a two-way deal, and we can end a participation that has gone quiet. If we do, we'll tell you first.

Your data

We use your email to run the programme — the welcome message, and the occasional note about the hunt. Your answers are used to decide what to build. Nothing is sold or passed on. You can leave at any time by replying to any of our emails, and your account carries on as a normal free account.

The rest is in the privacy policy.
