ByMyWord

Turn intentions into commitments. Set personal promises with optional stakes, recover through consistency, and build real accountability—your word, your rules.

ByMyWord is a personal commitment app where you make promises to yourself—wake up on time, hit the gym, maintain routines, or any recurring commitment—and consciously decide if there will be real stakes when you don't follow through.

Terms of Use: https://bymyword.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://bymyword.app/privacy This is NOT a to-do list. The core difference is commitment with optional consequences, defined by you, transforming intention into responsibility.

KEY FEATURES:

• Personal Promises with Stakes Create commitments and optionally set a monetary consequence ($0.99-$100) if you fail. This isn't punishment—it's accountability you choose.

• Smart Verification Each commitment can be verified manually ("check-in") or by location, used exclusively to confirm presence when you decide to mark it as completed.

• Built-in Timers & Alarms Integrated Pomodoro timers and alarms work seamlessly with your commitments, keeping you on track.

• Recovery Through Consistency Failed a promise? Instead of immediate payment, choose Recovery Mode. Each day you follow through earns credit toward your pending balance. Your word can be repaired through real behavior over time.

• Fair & Transparent No donations, no third parties. Any payment goes directly to the app and is always initiated by you via Apple Pay—never automatic or forced.

HOW IT WORKS:

1. Create a commitment (daily, weekly, or custom)
2. Optionally set stakes for accountability
3. Complete your promise with manual check-in or location verification
4. If you fail a critical commitment, it enters Failed state
5. Choose: pay immediately OR recover through consistency
6. Build streaks and track your "money avoided"

THE RECOVERY SYSTEM:

When you fail, your commitment enters Recovering mode. Each subsequent day you fulfill your promise generates credit that progressively reduces your pending balance until it reaches zero. While recovering, your public streak doesn't advance. If you fail again, recovery pauses. Pay anytime to exit recovery mode.

ByMyWord doesn't punish—it demands coherence. Your word matters. Honor it, or earn it back through consistent action.
