Commitment device, not a gym app

Stake money on showing up. Get it back when you do.

Set a weekly target and a real financial penalty for every session you skip. Hit your target and nothing happens to your money. Miss it, and it's gone.

Payments handled by Stripe and Apple In-App Purchase. 18+.

How it works

A 7-day rolling cycle, built to make you show up.

No streak-counting, no guilt trips. Just a target you set for yourself and money that's actually on the line.

01

Put a small amount on the line

Pick a weekly target — number of sessions, days practiced, pages read — and set a specific financial penalty per session you miss.

02

Prove you went

Check in with GPS inside a pre-registered radius, capture a live photo, upload a screenshot, or write a quick reflection — whatever fits what you're building.

03

Hit your target, keep your money

Every cycle resets after 7 days. Hit your target and nothing happens to your money. Miss a session, and that stake is gone.

Built-in safety nets

Life happens. Default accounts for it.

Real commitment doesn't mean punishing you for being sick — it means making the excuses harder to reach for.

Emergency tokens

Two tokens a month let you skip a single session, no questions asked, no stake lost.

One sick week

Genuinely unwell or injured? You get one sick week each month — no stake lost, cycle paused.

Accountability partner

Add someone you trust. If you need to pause a cycle for illness or injury, they can vouch for you in one click.

Any kind of goal

Not just the gym — stake sessions on reading, a language, an instrument, a course you keep abandoning.

Where does the money actually go?

Stakes and payments are processed through Stripe and Apple In-App Purchase — Default never stores your card details itself. Full detail on how stakes are held, forfeited, and refunded is in our Terms & Conditions, and how we handle your data is in our Privacy Policy.

Finally become the person who never skips.

Default is currently available for iPhone.
