{"id":69854,"title":"📱 Forfeit App - Complete your habits or we take your money","tagline":"Sent photo/timelapse evidence of you completing your habits, or we take $$$","body":"**tl/dr:** Forfeit is an iOS/Android app that **takes your money if you don’t do what you say you’re going to do**. You must submit photo/timelapse evidence of you completing said habit, which we then manually verify on our end, or we take your money.\n\nEg, I know there’s a very slim chance I can motivate myself to go to the gym each weekday morning at 6am for the next 4 weeks. I can set a Forfeit to force me to send a photo, inside the gym, each morning at 6am, or lose $20 each time I don’t. It’s pretty much unlimited willpower!\n\n![](https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/602cf455f72a961cfec0c783/634094c898f0f615c6402033_ezgif.com-gif-maker%20(13).gif)\n\n**💰Opportunity:**\n\nMost people struggle with forming habits, and this is the only thing that truly motivates a subset of these people. We have a very short payback period on our initial ad campaign, and for a while have had a small amount of users that love us and run a lot of their life through our app.\n\n**Our ask:**\n\n🚀 Procrastinating on your YC launch (like us)?\\\n🧘‍♀️ Want to meditate consistently for the next 30 days?\\\n🏋️ Want to be more consistent in the gym?\\\n✅ Have a load of boring ToDos that you wish you could be forced to grind out in 5hrs?\\\n📈 Absolutely anything you want to force yourself to do, that you can either self-verify or prove with a photo/timelapse?\n\nGive it a try here!\n\n\u003chttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/forfeit-do-it-or-donate/id1633125787\u003e\\\n\u003chttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.forfeit.forfeit\u003e","slug":"IAg-forfeit-app-complete-your-habits-or-we-take-your-money","created_at":"2023-03-01T22:20:12.862Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T02:56:46.959Z","total_vote_count":39,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/IAg-forfeit-app-complete-your-habits-or-we-take-your-money","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":27898,"name":"Overlord","slug":"overlord","url":"https://www.overlord.app/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/6794908867671327914d0ac60da63f7da4549e15.png","batch":"Winter 2023","industry":"Consumer","tags":["Mental Health Tech","Consumer","Fitness","Productivity","Digital Health"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/27898"}}
