Forfeit: Money Accountability Complete habits or lose money Forfeit is an accountability app that takes your money if you don't complete your habits. We're based on the scientifically backed concept of Habit Contracts - popularised by Atomic Habits - that losing money is highly motivational. Out 20k+ users have achieved a 94% success rate on over 75k forfeits, staking over $1m dollars.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Set your forfeit Set the task/habit that you want to complete, when you want to complete it by, and how much you'll lose if you don't complete it.
2. Submit your evidence Verify that you completed your habit using any of the methods defined below. This can be in the form of a photo, timelapse, self-verify, friend verify, GPS check-in, a web tracking limit, a Strava run, a Whoop activity, a MyFitnessPal meal or anything else.
3. Or you lose money If you don't send evidence in time, you lose money. This rarely happens - only 6% of forfeits fail. If you do fail, you can appeal the failed forfeit - we only want you to fail if it's a willpower issue, not if life gets in the way!

VERIFICATION METHODS
• Photo - Take a photo of the task that you completed, and an AI will verify if your photo matches your description. Examples: At the gym, inbox zero, Duolingo completed.
• Timelapse - Record a timelapse of you completing the tasks that you completed, and a human will verify if your photo matches your description. Examples: Meditating, nighttime routine, stretching, working for 1hr.
• Self-Verify - Simply verify if you completed this task. No need for evidence!
• GPS Check-in/Avoid - Set a GPS location that you must be within/outside of 100m of by the deadline. Examples: Check into the gym, work on time, home by a certain time.
• Friend-Verify, Rescuetime & many more!
