Show up at the gym orlose money.

Consistency isn't willpower — it's a system that makes showing up the easy choice. The trick is to give skipping a real, immediate cost. Commity does this by letting you put a small stake on your gym days: check in at the gym and you pay nothing, miss a scheduled workout and your stake is charged. Suddenly "I'll go tomorrow" has a price, and staying consistent stops depending on how you feel that morning.

Motivation fades. Real commitment devices don't. Commity is a habit tracker and accountability app that lets you put a stake on your gym, fitness or study goals. With GPS check-in you prove you showed up. The plan runs automatically — perfect for building discipline even on low-motivation days.

Skipping has a real cost when money is on the line. Commity lets you stake on your goals. Pin your spot, use GPS check-in when you arrive, and keep your stake by showing up. Miss a scheduled day and you pay — most people need just that small push to build a real streak.

Because the reward for a habit is far away, while the reward for skipping is instant — so your brain takes the easy win. Commitment devices fix this by moving a consequence into the present, and that's the science Commity is built on. By putting a small stake on each scheduled day, your long-term goal finally gets a short-term reason to win, and the habit has a chance to stick.

Yes — any place with an address works. Pin your box, wall, pool or studio, set your minutes and days, and the same GPS check-in verifies every session.

Enough to sting, not enough to scare you off — most people start between $10 and $25. You're only charged if you skip a scheduled day, so showing up always costs $0.

Never. Commity only tracks the days you scheduled, so rest days are built into your plan instead of counted against it. Your gym streak grows on show-ups, not on seven-day guilt.

When you create a commitment you pin a place and a radius — your "geofence." When you arrive you open Commity and tap I'm here, and a live GPS check has to confirm you're actually inside that area before a single minute counts — so there's nothing to fake from the couch. From then on it's automatic: Commity logs your minutes and ends the day on its own the moment you hit your goal.

Yes — Commity is free to use, and you can start a 14-day trial with no card at all. After that you add a card so a small stake can back your goal, but you're charged exactly $0 for as long as you keep showing up on your scheduled days.

Yes. All payments are handled by Stripe — the same secure payments platform trusted by millions of businesses worldwide. Your full card details are stored by Stripe, never by Commity, and everything is encrypted end to end.

Only when you miss a day you scheduled. Show up on every scheduled day and the charge is automatically $0. There are no surprise fees, no subscriptions to your stake, and nothing ever happens on your rest days.

Yes. The moment you reach your minutes for the day, your day is marked complete and tracking stops automatically. You don't need to check out or remember to close anything — it just knows you're done.

Rest days are fully respected. On days you didn't schedule, nothing is tracked and nothing counts against you — no check-ins, no pressure, no charge. Rest is part of the plan, not a penalty.

Your stake is charged, but you get a comeback. Start a 5-day streak within 30 days and win 66% of your money back. Commity is built as a commitment tracker — it punishes misses lightly and rewards the return with streaks and discipline.

StickK and Beeminder proved that money on the line works — but both still rely on self-reporting or manual data entry. Commity closes that gap: a live GPS check-in confirms you're actually at your gym, library or studio, so there's no honor system to cheat. And a slip isn't just punished — you can win 66% of your stake back with a 5-day comeback. Read the full breakdowns: Commity vs Beeminder and the best StickK alternative.

Commity is built to be light on battery, and it only ever watches the one spot you pinned — never everywhere you go. On the days you've scheduled it does check your location in the background, so it can tell when you arrive and keep your timer running even with the app closed. To save power it stays on low accuracy while you're away from your spot and only switches on precise GPS once you're nearby — then it idles automatically the moment you hit your goal, and stays off entirely on your rest days.

Only for the tap. You open Commity and tap I'm here when you arrive — after that you can close it and your timer keeps counting in the background until you hit your goal. Reminders are scheduled on your phone too, so they fire even if the app is closed or your phone restarts.

Both. Commity runs natively on iOS and Android with the same check-in, streaks, reminders and comeback system on each.

Yes. You can adjust your goal, change your scheduled days, or cancel whenever you like. You're only ever charged for a scheduled day you missed before cancelling — never for stopping.
