Stakes make goals real
Put money behind your word.
Set a personal goal, pledge $20 or more, and choose trusted friends to verify your progress. Finish on time and earn your money back; miss it and the locked amount is gone.
Minimum pledge: $20 · One friend or many · Partial refunds supported
The Commitly promise
Clear stakes. Human accountability.
No fake motivation
You define the goal, amount, deadline, and people whose judgment you trust.
No quiet deadline
Reminders keep you and your friends aware before the pledge closes.
How it works
A goal with consequences.
Commitly turns intention into a simple agreement between you, your deadline, and the people who know whether you did the work.
- 01
Set a goal worth finishing
Name the outcome, choose a deadline, and put at least $20 behind your word.
- 02
Choose who keeps you honest
Invite one friend or several by email or phone. They decide how much of your pledge you earn back.
- 03
Get refunded by progress
Your friend can unlock the full pledge or only part of it, so partial progress can receive partial credit.
- 04
Let the deadline mean something
Commitly sends reminders to everyone. Any amount still locked at the deadline is forfeited.
