About this app

▌stickK: the poster child of Behavioral Economics (featured in over 60 books and 20 textbooks) turns 14 years old!
▌As seen on The Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, Psychology Today, Bloomberg, The Economist, NPR, LA Times … and lots more!
Created by a Behavioral Economists from Yale University, stickK is a goal-setting platform, habit tracker and online community of goal-setters. Our platform is designed to motivate and help you achieve your goals by leveraging the power of incentives, financial accountability and social accountability to your advantage.
No matter what your goal is - meditate, learn a language, lose weight, quit smoking or drinking, exercise more often… stickK can motivate and help you achieve it! End procrastination once and for all. Hold yourself accountable. Turn your goals into habits.
▌HOW IT WORKS
Trick yourself into a virtuous cycle, turn your goal into a habit and stop procrastinating once and for all: create a Commitment Contract between present you and future you.

1. Set your goal - ANY goal (lose weight, self-care, meditation, finish thesis…) and a timeline to achieve it
2. Invite someone - a friend, coworker or family member - to hold you accountable and verify your progress
3. Put your money where your mouth is! Set a price on inaction - add Stakes to your commitment (optional)
4. Track your progress by reporting your successes or failures daily, weekly OR at the end of your Commitment Contract

▌INCENTIVES x ACCOUNTABILITY = 🔑 TO SUCCESS
👥ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER👥

- Invite a Referee that can verify your progress reports. They’ll have the final word on your Report and will be an essential part of your journey.
- We’ll take their word over yours, so pick wisely!

💸FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY💸

- Add Stakes to your commitment and increase the chances of success
- If you’re unsuccessful, stickK will hold you accountable and send the amount at stake you pledged to:
- A friend
- Charity (from a list of 20+ 501(c)(3) organizations)
- Or our most popular option:
- An Anti Charity (an organization or foundation you fervently oppose)

Get an extra kick of motivation and select an Anti-Charity. Research shows that people work harder to ensure that their money never falls into the wrong hands ;)
✅SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY✅

- Upload pictures of your progress and share with friends & family
- Invite Supporters to become your personal cheerleaders and source of motivation

📒PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY📒

- Track your routine from start to finish in your Commitment Journal: record your thoughts, comments & – see yourself grow!
- Submit daily, weekly or periodic Reports: whether it’s a daily chore, a new habit, or a long-term commitment, stickK’s platform can suit any goal

I’m facing an issue with the journal entry image feature. The images I apply do not appear — it only shows the time in that spot, and I’m unable to view the actual images. Please look into this and fix it. If this is due to some setting, kindly let me know the correct procedure to resolve it. Thank you!

Great concept. Worked better than most things for keeping me working toward my goal. Unfortunately, the app doesn't work right. Too often I was marked as unsuccessful when I submitted my report on time. The Submit Report button doesn't always work. The time stamp is wrong. You have to check your email for a confirmation that it went through. The staff are friendly, helpful, and willing to refund to correct errors but I don't want to have to email for corrections multiple times a month.

Good idea but it's so frustrating to use It logs you out every time you close the app and there's no "remember me." That just feels sloppy in 2022. Sometimes it glitches out making you unable to submit a report, but if you don't submit a report it charges you. There's no way to cancel payments without calling their support line. That just feels like a scam.
