How it works

Deciding is easy. Doing is the part that needs help.

A Bond is a commitment you cannot quietly drop. You set the goal, put money behind it, and hand the judging to a sensor — so the version of you that made the promise stays in charge of the version that has to keep it.

  1. 01

    Pick the shape

    Choose how you want to be held to it.

    Join an open Bond or create your own. The type decides who you are accountable to and where a missed deposit goes — a group, one rival, a team, or a cause you pick.

    Make it measurable

    Set a goal a sensor can settle.

    A target, a cadence, and a finish date. The goal has to be something a connected source can confirm on its own, because nobody self-reports their way to a payout.

    Put something behind it

    Back the intention with a deposit.

    You choose the amount. Before you confirm, the app shows the payment, the cancellation terms, the fee, and exactly what happens to your money whether you finish or not.

    Connect the evidence

    Train. We read the result.

    Connect the source you already use and then forget about it. Progress arrives on its own, with the pace you need to hold shown against the pace you are actually keeping.

    No renegotiating

    It settles the way everyone agreed.

    When the finish date arrives the Bond settles against the rules accepted at the start. Nobody adjudicates, nobody argues, and there is no version of this where the terms move because the result was disappointing.

Where the money actually goes.

For refundable-deposit Bonds, your deposit comes back when you finish. If you do not, its recipient is fixed by Bond type before anyone puts money down. Lottery entries are non-refundable and follow their published promotion rules.

Group

Fit Bond

Everyone commits to the same goal. Finishers recover their deposit and share the post-fee forfeited pool.

Cause

Charity

Missed deposits route to the chosen charity, less the platform fee defined when the Bond starts.

1 v 1

Head to Head

Two people take on the same clock. The winner receives the settled pool as cash-equivalent Coupons.

Together

Team

Teams compete on the same target. The winning team shares the settled pool according to the Bond rules.

Prize draw

Lottery

A non-refundable entry qualifies finishers for a random draw. FitBond operates the draw, with a fixed prize funded separately by FitBond or a partner.

Complete the partner challenge to qualify for the stated product or offer under its published rules.

A transparent example

£40 → £60.40

Eight people deposit £40. Five finish and three forfeit. The forfeited £120 is reduced by the current 15% platform fee (£18), then £102 is shared equally by the five finishers. Each finisher receives £40.00 + £20.40 as cash-equivalent FitBond Coupons. Actual outcomes depend on the Bond type and its published rules.
