How it works

Commitment contracts are one of the most studied motivation tools in behavioral science. We made one you can hold in your hand.

1

Set a goal

12 gym sessions this month. 50 miles of running. 20 yoga classes. Your goal, your pace.

2

Stake real money

$5 to $1,000 — charged up front and held securely. The more it stings, the better it works.

3

Do the work

Your Apple Watch verifies every workout automatically. No check-ins, no photos, no honor system.

4

Win it back

Hit your goal → full refund, instantly triggered. Miss it → your stake goes to the charity you chose, or to a friend as a gift-card reward.

Built to keep you honest

Everything is verified server-side. Nobody can cheat — including you.

⌚️

Auto-verified workouts

Synced from Apple Health and checked against anti-cheat rules — duration, heart rate, GPS distance. Manual entries don't count.

🏆

Group pots

Everyone stakes the same amount on the same goal. Everyone who finishes gets their stake back plus a share of what the no-shows forfeited. It's a group commitment — not a bet.

❤️

1M+ charities

If you miss, your money does good anyway — pick any US nonprofit, from local dog rescues to cancer research.

🧠

AI Coach

Premium members get personalized analysis of their real training data — what's working, what's sabotaging them, and what to do next.

🔥

Streaks & levels

Daily streaks, XP, levels, and leaderboards with your friends. Money is the stick — this is the carrot.

🔒

Bank-grade payments

All payments handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. Refunds are automatic the moment you win.

Questions

Is this gambling?

No. A commitment contract has no chance involved — the outcome is determined 100% by your own actions. You can't lose to luck, only to skipping the gym. You must be 18+ to use Ante.

What happens to my money when I win?

Your full stake is refunded to your card automatically — we take no fee on completed challenges. Refunds typically appear in 5–10 business days.

What happens when I lose?

Your stake goes to the recipient you chose in advance, minus a 10% platform fee. If that's a charity, it's sent as a donation. If it's a friend, they receive non-cashable in-app reward credits they can redeem for a digital gift card (Amazon, Target, and more) — never cash. You pick who benefits from your failure before you start, which is exactly why you won't fail.

Can I cheat?

You can try. Workouts are verified server-side against Apple Health data with anti-cheat rules for duration, heart rate, distance, and timing. Manual entries are rejected. Accounts caught cheating are banned.

What does Premium cost?

$5.99/year — and it includes $10 of stake credit, so you come out ahead on day one. You also get the AI Coach, a free streak freeze every month, a stats dashboard, and unlimited simultaneous challenges.

Your goals, with teeth.
