Pick any habit or goal you keep slipping on — the morning workout, the writing session, the diet, the deep work block. You’ve set the intention before. You meant it. Then Wednesday happened, the week slipped, and you rolled it to next Monday — again.
The problem isn’t discipline. It’s not willpower. It’s not even motivation. It’s that breaking a promise to yourself costs nothing in the moment. The brain doesn’t weigh next quarter’s goals against right now — it weighs ice cream against salad, Netflix against the open textbook, the warm bed against the 6am run. And in that exact moment, the short-term reward wins every time. Not because you’re weak. Because you’re human. We are wired to discount future payoff in favour of immediate comfort — psychologists call it temporal discounting, and it’s been baked into us since we needed to eat today to survive tomorrow.
The long-term version of you — leaner, sharper, further along — has no voice in that moment. He doesn’t show up. She doesn’t argue back. The future self is abstract. The ice cream is right there.
That is why our Contracts can become a helpful tool in your toolbox. By pre-committing — staking something real before the moment of temptation arrives — you give your future self a seat at the table. Now breaking the promise has an immediate cost too. The short-term reward still exists. But so does the short-term consequence. And suddenly the equation is fair.
New users get $30 in their wallet to use on contracts. Minimum stake is $1. Miss the goal and that stake is gone. Hit it and you earn Integrity Coins as a bonus — more coins for harder goals.
1. Pick your habit or goal
Contracts attach to targets you already defined — not a generic streak counter. The commitment is specific: a number, a window, a standard that’s yours.
2. Set your stake and difficulty
Stake at least $1 from your wallet. Easy contracts offer a modest Integrity Coin bonus. Harder goals raise the reward — and the pressure. An in-app calculator shows the upside before you commit.
3. Choose your mentor voice
20+ archetypes. Drill sergeant. Quiet operator. Stoic philosopher. Storyteller. Pick the tone that matches what you need this week — not what felt good last month.
4. Select how many grace days
How many days you have to log entries for the contract after the official contract duration is over.
Then lock it in. The contract runs. Your mentor gives you motivating messages along the way. During a contract you feel a raised pressure that you don’t feel otherwise, because of the stakes you set for yourself.
When the contract ends, you see the result — Integrity Coins for hitting the goal, or the cost of breaking the promise you made to yourself.
You stake dollars from your wallet — new users start with $30, minimum $1 per contract. Miss the goal and the stake is lost. Hit it and you earn Integrity Coins as a bonus, scaled to how hard the contract was.
Integrity Coins power the rest of the economy — garden items, packs, reviews. Contracts are how you turn follow-through into coins you can actually spend.
1 Integrity Contract Try it out
Up to 7 active contracts simultaneously
Unlimited contracts
One active contract per habit at a time — so you’re forced to finish what you started before stacking more.
Every contract shows you everything you signed up for: your target outcome, the duration, staked dollars, grace period. A countdown timer shows that everything eventually has an end — and you’d better make sure it’s a successful one.
Same psychology. Without the part where you get charged when life happens.
Real money motivates — and sometimes destabilizes. One bad week plus a surprise charge is a rough combination. No mentor arc. No connection to your full goal graph.
Powerful for metric obsessives. Derailments cost real dollars. It can become really expensive when life happens.
Stake wallet dollars ($30 free to start, $1 minimum). Hit the goal → Integrity Coins. Miss → stake gone. 20+ mentor tones. Contracts tied to the habits and goals you already track.
Optional by design. Serious by choice.
Contract mode is optional. Most habits can stay in default mode — that's more than okay. Turn on contract mode when you decide you need maximum pressure — not because the app decided for you.
If you’ve outgrown “try harder” and want structure that respects your nervous system — stakes without predatory billing — this is it.
