Mijn Borgje - Building habit accountability through stakes

Financial accountability that actually works. Borgje helps you keep commitments through loss aversion . How it works: Set a commitment with a location and time. Deposit money (you choose the amount). Show up on time and get your money back instantly. Miss it? Your deposit goes to charity. Perfect for gym consistency, punctuality, building location-based habits, or any goal where showing up matters. Win-win: Either you achieve your goals, or a good cause benefits.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built Borgje because I kept breaking promises to myself - especially going to the gym. Tried habit trackers, reminders, accountability buddies... nothing stuck. Then I realized: I needed real consequences. Not just a red X on a calendar. Borgje uses loss aversion - that psychological sting when you might lose money - to keep you accountable. Put money on a commitment, show up at the location on time (verified by GPS), get your money back. Don't show up? It goes to charity. I've been using it myself for 2 months and haven't missed a gym session since. The key insight: it's not about wanting the money back, it's about hating to lose it. Currently live on Android (iOS coming soon). Would love your feedback - what commitments would you put money on? Thanks for checking it out! 🙏
