How it works
Set the deadline
Choose one concrete outcome and a due date.
Lock the stake
Choose your poison: Put real money on the line, OR set up a "Social Stake"—an automated email to a contact, or a public LinkedIn post admitting you failed. You pick the pressure that works for you.
Submit proof
We manually verify if you actually did the work.
Miss the deadline or fail verification, and you lose the stake.
Why this actually changes behavior
Deadlines create focus
Real stakes create urgency
Verification kills self-deception
Built for high-stakes personal execution
Built because good intentions were never enough.
I kept telling myself "this week I'll finally do it." Weeks turned into months. The problem wasn't motivation — it was the absence of real stakes. So I built the system I needed: one that makes backing out more painful than following through.
Better than to-do lists. Harder to ignore than habit apps.
To-do apps
