Gawkin

The staring contest from your feed, made real. Live 1v1 video duels, an honest referee on your own phone, and clips born to be posted. First to blink loses.

First to blink loses.

Gawkin is the world's first LIVE staring contest — real 1v1 video stare-downs with an honest referee: your own phone judges your own eyes with Face ID precision, so nobody can cheat you.

You've seen the staring-contest challenge everywhere. This is the real thing — a live opponent, a fair ref, and a clip of both faces the moment somebody cracks.

Press BEGIN. Get matched for a live duel. 3… 2… 1… STARE.

THE HONEST REFEREE • Blink detection runs entirely on YOUR device with the TrueDepth camera • Each phone judges its own player — nobody can cheat you • Eyes-closed-at-start = instant loss. Look away? That's a blink.

LIVE AND LOUD • See your opponent over live video while you battle • Talk trash on voice chat or fire off quick messages • Works in the dark — your screen becomes a fill light

RUN IT BACK • Best-of-3 duels and instant rematch to settle the score • Skip a no-show and get matched with someone new • Save match clips — only when BOTH players agree to record

PROVE IT • Global leaderboards: total stare time and matches won • Solo Stare: train against the clock, beat your best • Eye Gym: a gaze-controlled target game to sharpen your stare • Challenge friends directly with a room code or a friend invite

GAWKIN PRO (optional monthly subscription) • No ads, best-of-3 duels, instant rematch, and post-match chat • Full-length match clips, saved straight to your device • Auto-renews monthly until cancelled in Settings

Gems are an optional in-app currency for tipping the winner or gifting friends. They're for fun — never cashable.

Requires an iPhone with Face ID (TrueDepth camera). A staring contest needs two of you — bring a rival.
