Forfeit is an app that adds accountability to your habits. We're based on the scientifically backed concept of Habit Contracts - popularised by Atomic Habits - that adding accountability to completing habits is massively effective. Our 20k+ users have achieved a 94% success rate on over 75k forfeits. 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 you'll be held accountable if you don't complete it. This can be sending an accountability buddy a text or email! 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, an Apple Health activity, a Strava run, a Whoop activity, a MyFitnessPal meal or anything else. 3. Or you fail If you don't send evidence in time, your accountability method is triggered. 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, homework submitted, taking medication. • Timelapse Record a timelapse of you completing the tasks that you completed, and a human will verify if your timelapse matches your description. Examples: Meditating, nighttime routine, stretching, working for 1hr. • Self-Verify Simply verify if you completed this task. No need for evidence! Examples: No smoking, no drinking, no vaping, absolutely anything! • Friend-Verify Have an accountability buddy testify to whether you did or didn't complete a task. Examples: No drinking, no phone in the house, no eating junk food. • Apple Health Set a threshold that you must cross in Apple Health (eg, 10,000 steps). Thousands of apps sync to this. Examples: 10,000 steps, 20 mins meditation, 30 min bike ride, less than 2000 calories consumed. • GPS Check-in Set a GPS location that you must be within 100m of by the deadline. Examples: Check into the gym, work on time, home by a certain time. • Location Reminders Get a reminder when you arrive at or leave a place you've saved, even when Forfeit is closed. Background location is optional. Examples: "You're home - time to walk the dog", "At the gym - log your workout". • GPS Avoid Set a location that you won't be within a certain radius of at the deadline. Examples: Not being at a bar on the weekends, leaving the house at a certain time. • RescueTime integration We sync with RescueTime, a web time-tracking app. You can use this to set thresholds on websites/desktop apps. Examples: Max 30 mins on reddit.com, minimum 2hrs on VSCode, max 30 mins on gmail.com • Pomodoro timer This is a timer that if you click off, you fail. Examples: Working for 30 mins, meditating for 20 mins, studying for 45 mins. OTHER FEATURES • X days/week: Set forfeits to be due a certain number of times per week (eg, work out 3x/week) • Certain days/week: Set forfeits only to be due on certain days (eg, weekdays, or Mo/We/Fr) • Appeal anything: If you have to skip a submission, simply send in an appeal, and it'll be reviewed in a few hours by a human. • Varying leniency modes: Depending on your leniency mode (lenient, normal, hard), you may or may not be required to justify your appeal with evidence. Hard mode doesn't allow appeals. • Screen Time integration: If you go over your limit, you're held accountable.
