> Commitment contracts with a referee and optional money stakes

stickK is a goal-setting platform built around Commitment Contracts: you name a goal, set a timeline and report on it daily, weekly or once at the end. A Referee can verify each report, Supporters can follow along, and you can put money at stake that is charged whenever a reporting period fails. It was founded by two Yale professors and a Yale management student, and it runs in a browser and in iOS and Android apps.

## Key features

- **Commitment Contracts:** A contract with yourself that fixes a goal, a start and end date and a reporting schedule. After creation you can only add a Referee, invite Supporters and change its privacy settings.
- **Reports on a fixed schedule:** You report success or failure daily, weekly or once at the end. A report not filed within 24 hours (daily) or 72 hours (weekly and single-report contracts) counts as unsuccessful.
- **Referees:** A person you invite verifies your reports and has the final word: a Referee can turn a reported success into a failure. Without one, the contract runs "On Your Honor".
- **Money stakes:** Set an amount that is charged to your card within 48 hours of each unsuccessful reporting period. Under the June 2024 terms, new stakes go to an anti-charity you pick or to stickK itself.
- **Supporters and Commitment Journal:** Supporters can be emailed your result after each report and can comment in the Commitment Journal, where you add notes and progress photos.
- **Communities and Campaigns:** A public contract can be listed in up to three of ten topic Communities. Campaigns bundle a set of contracts for a group, whose members join with an activation code.

## Good for

- People who follow through when money or reputation is on the line
- Goals that a friend, coach or family member can verify as Referee
- Clubs, teams and workplaces running a shared challenge as a Campaign

## Worth knowing

- stickK keeps 50% of forfeited stakes sent to an anti-charity, plus contract costs, under its contract terms last updated June 12, 2024.
- Those terms removed a $5 creation fee and ended charity and friend-or-foe recipients for new contracts; older help articles still describe all three.
- A contract cannot be deleted once it begins; the terms allow cancellation only with a physician's medical excuse form.
- Prices for the paid Campaign plans (All-access and Pro) are not published in the help center; they appear inside a Campaign admin account.
