Show HN: I built a tool to make you move or pay up
Inspired by GoFuckingDoIt, I made a tool that makes you pay for being lazy about exercise.
- Set a weekly fitness goal (like running 10 km a week or doing 120min of weight training)
- Assign a penalty fee (e.g.: 5€) if you fail
- Each Monday, I check your Strava data of the previous week. Hit your target? You’re safe. Miss it? I charge your card.
Available activity for now : running, walking, swimming, riding, hiking, weigt training (more coming)
Only compatible with Strava for this v1 but I would like to be compatible with more sport apps. You can also take a look at the next features on the homepage.
This idea was born from a simple truth: staying committed is hard, and we all need a little extra push sometimes. It's not about guilt or punishment, it's about commitment.
Unlike other fitness apps, my tool isn’t about rewards. It’s about real stakes and real motivation (but it's not suited for all, for sure!).
- dirkc 2y agoI see on your site that you're solving a personal problem, so do you charge your own card if you don't go for a run :P ps. congrats on shipping!
- okens 2y agoAhah! I was expecting this question. Indeed, the interest is lower for me (but not null!). I mean that I based it on my own way of thinking, and I don’t think I’m the only one. But after all, my wife and I still have a goal just for fun! And I’ve already charged myself! In the end, I still pay the Stripe fees! :D Thank you!
- maalber 2y agoThis is so funny lol! Have you considered donating (parts) of the charged amount to charities?
