Commitments - How It Works
Learn the basics of creating and managing your fitness commitments
What is a commitment?
▼
A commitment is a personal challenge where you stake real money
to motivate yourself to achieve a specific fitness goal. You set
a goal (like walking 10,000 steps daily), choose how much money
to stake, and set a time period. If you achieve your goal, you
keep your stake and may earn from the reward pool. If you do not
meet your goal, your stake is contributed to the pool shared
with successful participants.
How do I create a commitment?
▼
Tap the '+' button on the Commitments tab, then:
1. Choose your activity type (steps, calories, distance,
etc.)
2. Set your goal amount and time period
3. Choose how much money to stake
4. Select 'Practice Mode' for a trial run, or proceed to stake
real money
5. Review your commitment details
6. Sign with your finger to confirm
You'll need a valid payment method on file before creating
staked commitments.
What is Practice Mode?
▼
Practice Mode lets you try commitments without staking money.
It's perfect for:
• Testing if your goals are realistic
• Getting familiar with how the app tracks your progress
• Understanding how commitments work before staking money
Practice commitments simulate the full experience with no
financial risk or reward.
What happens when I sign a commitment?
▼
When you sign a commitment:
1. Your payment method is verified for the staked amount
2. The commitment becomes active
3. The app begins tracking your progress automatically
4. You can monitor your progress in real-time
5. At the deadline, the app automatically evaluates if you
succeeded
Your signature serves as digital consent to participate in a
voluntary goal challenge using the amount you've staked.
What happens if I don't meet my goal?
▼
If you do not meet your goal, your staked amount is contributed
to a shared reward pool distributed among users who successfully
completed their commitments. This system helps reinforce
motivation through meaningful commitment, while also benefiting
the broader user community.
Is staking money required to use the app?
▼
No. Staking is completely optional. Users can choose Practice
Mode to participate in all commitment features without any
financial involvement. The core features of goal setting and
progress tracking are accessible to all users regardless of
financial participation.
Commitments - Rules & Verification
Comprehensive Q&A about how commitments are evaluated, success
criteria, and verification processes
How are commitments verified?
▼
Commitments are automatically reviewed by our system at the
designated deadline:
• We analyze synced activity data from Apple Health
• The system checks whether your metrics meet the goal you
defined
• Verification is fully automated and impartial
• Results are typically finalized within 24 hours of your
deadline
• Each commitment card will display a status of SUCCESS or
INCOMPLETE
The system relies solely on your Apple Watch and iPhone data and
does not allow manual intervention.
What does 'SUCCESS' vs 'INCOMPLETE' mean?
▼
Your commitment status reflects whether you met your defined
target:
• SUCCESS: You reached or exceeded your goal (e.g., walked
10,000+ steps when the target was 10,000)
• INCOMPLETE: You didn't meet the required metric (e.g., walked
9,999 steps for a 10,000-step target)
There is no partial credit. This keeps the evaluation
transparent and fair.
When exactly is my commitment evaluated?
▼
Commitment review timing varies by type:
• Single-day commitments: Evaluated at 11:59:59 PM on that
day
• Multi-day commitments: Evaluated at 11:59:59 PM on the final
day
• The system waits an additional 24 hours to allow delayed
Health data to sync
• Final results are confirmed within 48 hours
This grace period ensures all your data is accurately accounted
for.
What if I don't wear my Apple Watch during my commitment?
▼
Wearing your Apple Watch is essential for complete tracking:
• Missing data may result in an incomplete status
• The system cannot verify activities that weren't recorded
To ensure the most accurate results, wear your watch
consistently throughout your commitment period.
Can I manually add activities or edit my data?
▼
To maintain fairness and consistency:
• Only data from Apple Health is accepted
• Activities must be recorded by Apple Watch or a trusted
Health-compatible app
• Manual entries in Apple Health are not considered
This ensures a level playing field across all users.
What if my internet connection fails during a commitment?
▼
No need to worry—temporary connection issues won't affect your
commitment:
• Activities are stored locally on your device
• Data is synced automatically once you're back online
• You have a 24-hour grace period for syncing before final
review
Just open the app after reconnecting to ensure your activity is
uploaded.
How accurate is the activity tracking?
▼
We rely on Apple's official Health data for accuracy:
• Apple Watch uses industry-leading sensors for tracking
• Step and distance data are typically within 1-2% accuracy
• Calorie metrics are personalized using your age, weight, and
heart rate
• GPS data is used when available for distance verification
We do not modify or reinterpret Apple's data—what you see is
what we use.
Can I appeal a commitment result?
▼
Appeals are reserved for rare and valid exceptions:
• Syncing issues with Apple Health
• Medical emergencies
• Verified app bugs or device errors
If you believe a mistake was made, please contact our support
team with documentation. Routine appeals are not supported.
What counts as 'cheating' and how is it handled?
▼
We take commitment integrity seriously to protect our
community:
• Fabricated activity entries
• Artificial movement simulation devices
• Sharing devices to boost stats
• Attempts to tamper with tracking data
Violations may result in account restrictions or removal. Our
system monitors for irregularities and enforces standards
fairly.
Money & Payments
Comprehensive Q&A about the financial aspects of the app
How does the staking system work?
▼
When you choose to stake money on a commitment, that amount is
held and only processed if the goal is not met:
• If your goal is not completed, your stake is collected within
24–48 hours after the deadline
• The amount is the full staked value—no partial deductions
• Commitments completed successfully result in no charges
• The stake from unmet commitments is added to a community-based
reward pool
This optional system adds accountability by encouraging users to
follow through on their goals.
Where does my staked money go if I don't meet my goal?
▼
Your staked amount is repurposed to support the community reward
structure:
• 85% of unclaimed stakes go to the weekly prize pool shared
among successful users
• 15% covers operational expenses (infrastructure, support,
payment processing)
• This model rewards those who meet their goals and reinforces
collective motivation
• The prize pool is viewable in the Stats tab
In short, your contribution supports others on their fitness
journey.
What payment methods are accepted?
▼
We accept most major debit and credit cards:
• Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover
• Debit cards from leading financial institutions
• Valid cards must have sufficient funds
• Most international cards are supported
• All payments are processed securely through Stripe
Before joining a staked commitment, you'll need a valid card
saved under Settings → Payment → Debit/Credit Cards.
When will I be charged?
▼
You are only charged your stake if the goal tied to your
commitment is not met:
• No charges occur if the commitment is completed
successfully
• If your goal is unmet, your stake is collected within 24–48
hours after the deadline
• The grace period ensures accurate data syncing before
evaluation
• You'll receive a confirmation notification if a stake is
collected
• The charge may appear as 'Goal Commitment' or similar on your
statement
There are no surprise charges—only the exact amount you chose to
stake is processed if the outcome is incomplete.
Rewards & Prize Pool
Comprehensive Q&A about earning money and the reward system
How do I earn money from the app?
▼
You can earn money by meeting your goals and qualifying for
weekly reward distributions:
• Successfully complete your commitments for the week
• Meet the weekly activity threshold (2,800+ active calories)
• Maintain at least one active commitment
• Pass our standard account verification process
• Rewards are sourced from unused staked funds from incomplete
commitments
Payouts are processed every Sunday and become available for
withdrawal within 3–5 business days.
How is the weekly reward pool distributed?
▼
Each Friday, the shared reward pool is distributed evenly among
all eligible participants:
• The pool is composed of unused stakes from incomplete
commitments
• Each eligible user receives an equal share
• Distribution is currently flat, not weighted by activity or
stake
• More participants mean smaller individual shares
• Future updates may include proportional reward distribution
Your estimated share is available in the Stats tab, with amounts
based on participation and pool size.
What are the activity thresholds for rewards?
▼
To qualify for weekly rewards, you must meet our baseline
activity level:
• Minimum: 2,800 active calories burned per week
• Roughly 400 active calories per day on average
• Active calories are tracked via Apple Watch during exercise
and movement
• Must be achieved in the same week as your successful
commitments
These requirements ensure rewards go to active and engaged
users.
Why do I have 'pending' vs 'available' money?
▼
We separate earnings into two types for clarity and security:
• Pending: Recently earned, awaiting processing
• Available: Ready for withdrawal
• Pending balances convert to available each Friday
• This delay allows time for payment validation and reversals
• View both balances under Settings → Withdraw Funds
This system helps ensure accurate and reliable payouts.
How do I withdraw my earnings?
▼
You can easily transfer your earnings to PayPal:
• Add your PayPal email in Settings → PayPal Account
• Navigate to Settings → Withdraw Funds
• Tap 'Withdraw' to move your full available balance
• Funds are typically received within 1–3 business days
Note: Partial withdrawals are not currently supported.
