Motivation fades.
Your stake doesn't.
Put money on your goal. Make it and you pay nothing. Miss it and you pay your stake to Vowly. A friend or certified reviewer checks your proof, so excuses don't work.
Four steps. Zero excuses.
Pick your goal

Put money on it
From €5. You pay nothing now, but you promise: miss it and you pay your stake.
Prove it
A friend or a certified Vowly reviewer checks your proof against a checklist.
Pay nothing
Made it? You pay nothing at all. Missed it? You pay your stake within 3 days.
Losing feels about twice as bad as winning feels good.Loss aversion, from the research of Kahneman & Tversky. Vowly puts it to work for you.

Leaving your goal hanging? Vowly sends you a roast with a meme. Funny enough to share, painful enough to get you moving.
You turn it on or off. Never at night, and only about your goals, never about who you are.
Your aura is at -1000. Do something about "Go to the gym 12 times" before I officially call you a clown.
Day missed, brokie. €5 received. Thanks, loser ☕
Fair and clear.
Made it
You pay nothing at all. Your stake was a promise to yourself, and you kept it.
Didn't make it
Then you pay your stake to Vowly within 3 days via card or iDEAL. Not to a charity, not to a friend: to us. If you don't pay, your account is blocked.
Vowly is not gambling: the outcome depends only on what you do. Payments run securely through Stripe; we never see your card details.
Frequently asked questions
What does Vowly cost?
The app is free. Make your goal and you pay nothing. Only if you miss it do you pay the stake you chose.
Who checks my goal?
A friend or family member you invite, or a certified Vowly reviewer. If a friend doesn't respond within 7 days of submitting, your goal is approved automatically.
What if I disagree with the verdict?
Within 3 days you can ask your reviewer to reconsider or report the verdict. Another reviewer then takes a fresh look.
When do I have to pay?
Only if you miss your goal. You then get 3 days to pay via card or iDEAL. After that your account is blocked until it's paid.
Is my journal private?
Yes. Your reviewer only sees when you did something, not what you wrote. Proof is only visible to you and your reviewer.
