ENDORSED BY EXPERTS

"GoalBounty could be a powerful tool for helping people achieve goals and new year resolutions. It applies smart psychological principles... it may help some people build better habits and work towards lasting changes."

- Dr. Shah F. Tarfarosh
Oxford Psychiatrist & Psychotherapist


"GoalBounty is an amazing platform that has completely transformed the way I approach my goals. It encouraged me to treat my personal goals as seriously as I would a job – with focus, dedication, and consistent effort."

Psychologist & GoalBounty™ Customer


BACKED BY SCIENCE

GoalBounty is backed by known psychological mechanisms which are proven to motivate action and behavioural change, such as Loss Aversion (fear of losing money) and Sunk-cost Bias (increased motivation to act after investing money).


MAXIMUM MOTIVATION & ACCOUNTABILITY

If using willpower alone, goal trackers, habit trackers, fitness trackers, sobriety counters or abstinence counters hasn't worked for you, it's probably because there's been a lack of accountability with no consequences.

GoalBounty provides extreme motivation by making you forfeit money ('bounty') for not achieving your goal, stopping your bad habit, or maintaining a positive habit.


GIVING BACK AND DOING GOOD

We donate 10% of all forfeited bounty to charities and social causes, such as Samaritans, Cancer Research UK and PTSD Resolution.

### 5/5 — Does exactly what it says on the tin!

*2025-01-25, version 1.0.20*

When they say extreme motivation, they mean it! This app is a great way to finally commit to those goals that you just can’t quite get yourself to commit to, and it really feels like taking the first step towards accomplishing whatever it is you set out to do!

### 3/5 — Interesting concept

*2025-01-02, version 1.0.20*

I found this app intriguing and it could help those who need to set goals, but procrastinate. The thought of losing money for not taking action will work for many. I just wish the app wasn’t in dark mode, which makes it difficult for me to see.

### 5/5 — Beautiful app

*2025-01-02*

A wonderful app that I do believe would help on the long run in curbing so much negative or stressful habits.

### 5/5 — Today is the best time for the new goals!

*2025-01-02, version 1.0.16*

This is exactly what I need right now!  at the start of the new year. Very easy to use , and I like the idea I just need to loose 240g per week to achieve 6 kg in total. Also I like the live display with the time left until the end of my goal to be achieved.

### 4/5 — Motivation

*2025-01-01, version 1.0.16*

Great app for motivation

### 5/5 — Outstanding app

*2024-12-31, version 1.0.16*

Perfect app to reach goals for 2025

### 5/5 — A true motivator, indeed!

*2024-12-31, version 1.0.16*

GoalBounty has completely transformed how I approach my fitness journey. Setting a goal to lose 6% body fat within a timeframe has pushed me to stay disciplined and focused. The idea of losing £50 if I fail is a real motivator, and it keeps me accountable every single day. It even provides a feature for evidence and remaining time for the goals so that you can track as well. This app is a game-changer for anyone serious about self-improvement! 🇬🇧💪

### 3/5 — Easy to use

*2024-12-31, version 1.0.16*

An accountability app for success, that users can customise to create a sense of urgency in reaching their goals. Access to wider communities through Discord and free external support.

### 5/5 — Great concept!

*2024-12-31, version 1.0.16*

I’ve seen and used a lot of apps that try to motivate you do complete tasks, but this one works considerably better because there is a larger stake in it and you have to prove that you’ve completed the tasks! This is definitely a great app

### 5/5 — Highly recommend

*2024-12-31, version 1.0.16*

GoalBounty is the perfect blend of motivation and accountability. I love how it pushes me to stay consistent and on track. I highly recommend this app to anyone serious about achieving their goals.

## Frequently asked questions about GoalBounty

### What does GoalBounty do?

GoalBounty is an app designed to help you achieve your goals and break bad habits by using financial commitments. You pledge a monetary amount, set a specific goal with a deadline, and if you succeed, you get your money back. If you fail, the pledged amount is forfeited, with a portion going to charity.

### How does the financial commitment work?

You pledge a sum of money, ranging from £50 to £100,000, which is held securely. This financial stake serves as a strong motivator to ensure you achieve your set goal or stop your bad habit within the defined timeframe.

### What kind of goals can I set?

The app supports a wide range of goals, including stopping smoking or drinking, weight loss, improving sleep habits, completing creative projects like writing a book, fitness goals, and custom goals tailored to your specific needs.

### Is this app free to use?

The app itself is free to download and use for setting up your goals and pledges. The monetization comes from the financial commitment (bounty) you make towards achieving your goals. If you succeed, you get your bounty back; if you fail, the bounty is forfeited.

### How is success verified?

Once you believe you have achieved your goal, you submit evidence through the app. This evidence is then reviewed by real humans to verify your success before your bounty is refunded.
