Beeminder combines self-tracking and commitment contracts: cross a Bright Red Line to your goal and we take your money. Beeminder lets you create goals like these and pledge money that you'll achieve them this time around.
Answer with your number when Beeminder asks — or connect a device/app below to auto-report — and we'll show your progress and a Bright Red Line to follow to stay on track. If you cross the line, we charge your payment method!
Your goals can be anything quantifiable — weight, pushups, minutes spent on Facebook, points on Duolingo.
The platform employs loss aversion principles to drive users to avoid losing money by staying on track with their goals. Beeminder's approach is based on the concept of commitment contracts, which involves setting financial stakes on achieving goals.
The platform has been active since 2011 and users report strong results. It provides a level of accountability that has given users the impetus to achieve things they've been wanting to do for years, including making dietary changes, establishing regular exercise routines, and getting a full night's sleep on a regular basis.
Free to start, with pledges increasing as you derail from goals. Premium plans available for advanced features.
