What is the purpose of this app?

Making lasting changes to our habits is simply too hard. We have all heard otherwise responsible adults say things like, "I really need to cut down on Instagram" or "I should hit the gym more often."

We all experience those moments when we know what we need to do to improve our lives. But those moments of clarity are short lived, leaving us to rely on our own willpower to keep up with our new commitments—and let's be honest, willpower can be pretty fickle.

Existing solutions are ineffective, because they are non-binding in nature. In moments of weakness, we may uninstall website-blocker, reinstall distracting apps, skip the gym, or abandon our mediation practice. 

That's where Discipline.io comes in. All you have to do is decide on a goal, put down some cash as a deposit, and let the app keep an eye on your progress. If you slip up, your deposit goes to a cause of your choosing; if you succeed, you get your money back.

They key difference with Discipline.io, is that it really holds you accountable. Once you commit to something, there's no backing out without losing your deposit. Even if you try to uninstall the app or disable it, it won't let you off the hook. Decide what you want to achieve, and the app will take care of holding you to it.
