Beeminder

What is Beeminder?

The Beeminder app is a powerful goal-tracking tool that combines self-monitoring and financial incentives to help users achieve their objectives. With Beeminder, users can track progress on a wide range of goals, from weight loss and debt reduction to writing and exercise routines. The app plots the user's progress on a "Yellow Brick Road," and if they go off track, they are required to pay a predetermined financial pledge. This unique approach leverages the power of commitment devices and accountability to motivate users to stay on course and ultimately reach their goals
