# Forfeit > Habit contracts that charge your card when you miss a goal Forfeit is a habit-contract app from Forfeit Inc. in San Francisco. You set a task, a deadline and a consequence for missing it, usually a charge to your card, then prove you did it with a photo, video, GPS check-in, health data or screen-time data that AI or a staff member reviews.

Stripe pre-authorizes the stake, and a missed deadline captures it. Goals can repeat on set days or a number of days a week. - **Other consequences:** Instead of money, a miss can text, call or email a contact you chose, block apps on your phone or Mac, or lock your Mac screen. - **Evidence and verification:** Goals are proven by photo, video, timelapse, GPS check-in, Apple Health or Health Connect data, Screen Time or Mac activity. AI or a person on the team reviews evidence before a charge. - **Appeals and leniency:** A missed goal can be appealed, and a person reviews each appeal within 12 hours. You write the appeal rules when creating a goal, and they lock once it is running. - **Overlord AI coach:** Overlord chats around the clock, reminds you before deadlines, can phone you, and grants or refuses temporary unblocks according to the rules you set. - **App and website blocking:** Blocking uses Apple's Screen Time framework on iOS and a native app on Mac that closes blocked sites and tracks the apps in use. Disconnecting the tracking counts as a failure. ## Good for - People who follow through only when money or reputation is at stake - Habits that can be proven with a photo, GPS, health or screen-time data - Blocking distracting apps under rules an AI coach enforces ## Worth knowing - No free plan is published: the web signup offers a 7-day trial, then $10.99 a month, and a 2025 App Store review says no goal can be set without a subscription. - Penalties are charged on top of the subscription, and the FAQ says forfeited money is currently kept by Forfeit. - The vendor does not publish what Premium and Pro each include, and the web price differs from the App Store amounts. - The FAQ limits the Mac app to Mac blocking and says the web app is mainly for Overlord, the AI coach. ## What people say - **App Store rating of the iPhone and iPad app:** 4.8 out of 5 from 358 ratings in the United States, read Oct 6, 2026. This is the store's rating of the app, not a score from ToolGPA.
