It's not that you're alone. It's that no one shares your context.
Mastermind groups prove the demand but lean on live calls. Free matching apps pair strangers with no accountability. Build-in-public feeds are broadcasting, not companionship. Berth is a mechanism, not a directory.
Five apps. All alone. All at night.
— founder, Berth
Before Berth, I'd already shipped five other apps solo. Every one of them, I built alone, at night, after work, with nobody to show the messy middle to. Being disciplined or obsessed with the journey gets you far — that's true — but there's a line. The lonely line.
No one around me shared the same context. My friends were happy for me, but they didn't get it. My family thought it was a hobby. The handful of times I tried to talk about it — in person or online — it felt like shouting into a room full of people and nobody replying. The free "accountability partner" apps I tried matched me with strangers who ghosted within two weeks.
So I got busy and built the thing I actually needed: a small, fixed crew of people at my exact stage. Say what you're doing Monday. Say what happened Friday. Nowhere to hide in a crowd — because there is no crowd. Just four or five of us, every week, until we ship.
I'm still building Berth the same way I built everything before it — alone, at night. Except now, for the first time, I'm not doing it without a crew of my own.
Four questions in. A crew for as long as you keep showing up.

A crew that repairs itself.
Go quiet for a month and you're swapped out for someone actively looking. Drop to one person and your crew merges with an open seat. Report and Support sit side by side — reviewed case by case, never automated away.
