The Jar is a swear jar you can point at anything. Pick a habit, put a price on it, and put someone you know on the other side. A dollar for saying "circle back." A dollar for dishes in the sink. Twenty-five cents for a wet towel on the bed — and yes, they will report you. HOW IT WORKS • Start a jar with your partner, roommates, friends, coworkers — or just yourself. • Write your own rules: what it costs, who it applies to, who gets paid. • Catch someone slipping and report it in a couple of taps. Self-reporting is allowed and, frankly, respected. • The accused confirms or disputes. The record keeps everyone honest. • The Jar nets everything out, so it always knows exactly who owes whom. • On settle-up day, pay each other however you normally do. The Jar just keeps score. THINGS PEOPLE PUT IN THE JAR • Couples — phone at dinner, picking cuticles, the weaponized "fine" • Roommates — dishes in the sink, thermostat crimes, mystery leftovers • Coworkers — late to standup, corporate jargon, reply-all • Solo — ordering delivery again, texting your ex ($10, minimum) ABOUT THE MONEY The Jar never touches it. No wallets, no cards, no fees, no cut — it tracks small IOUs between people who trust each other, and stays out of the way when you settle. Stakes are small on purpose: rules are capped per occurrence and per day, so a terrible week stays funny instead of becoming a problem. THE FINE PRINT, THE GOOD KIND • Free. No ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases. • Private by design. Jars are invite-only. No public profiles, no feeds, no strangers. • The history is permanent. Disputes stay on the record. Grudges optional. • For grown-ups (18+). It's real money, even a quarter at a time. Set the rule. Break the rule. Pay the price.
