Common Questions About C'Meet It
What is C'Meet It?
C'Meet It is a goal-setting app that uses financial accountability to help you achieve your commitments. You set a meaningful goal, put a small amount of money on the line, and work towards achieving it. If you succeed, you keep your money. If you don't meet your goal, the money goes to a charity of your choice. This creates a powerful incentive structure that significantly increases your chances of success.
How does the commitment system work?
When you create a goal, you choose how much money you want to commit (typically $10-$50). This money is held securely until your goal period ends. You then check in regularly to track your progress. At the end of your goal period, if you've met your commitment, you get your money back. If you haven't met your goal, the money is automatically donated to your selected charity. This system leverages loss aversion psychology - people are naturally more motivated to avoid losing money than to gain it.
Where does my money go if I fail?
If you don't meet your goal, your commitment money is donated to a charity that you select when creating your goal. We partner with verified, reputable charities across various causes including education, health, environment, and social justice. You can choose a cause that matters to you, which means that even if you don't achieve your goal, something positive still comes from your commitment. We provide donation receipts for tax purposes when applicable.
How do I check in on my goals?
C'Meet It makes checking in simple and flexible. You can log your progress daily, weekly, or however frequently your goal requires. The app sends you gentle reminders to help you stay on track. For some goals, you simply mark whether you completed your daily action (like exercising or meditating). For other goals, you might log measurable progress (like steps taken or pages read). The key is consistent, honest self-reporting that helps you build the habit of accountability.
Is my payment information secure?
Absolutely. We take security very seriously and use industry-standard encryption and security measures to protect your financial information. We partner with trusted payment processors that are PCI DSS compliant, which means they meet the highest standards for handling credit card information. Your payment details are encrypted and stored securely, and we never store your full credit card information on our servers. All transactions are processed through secure, encrypted connections.
Can I cancel or modify a goal?
Once a goal is active, you cannot cancel it - this is intentional and part of the commitment mechanism. However, you can modify certain aspects of your goal (like adjusting the specific actions or timeline) as long as the core commitment remains the same. For example, if your goal is to exercise 4 times per week, you might change from running to yoga, but you can't reduce it to 2 times per week. This flexibility helps you adapt to changing circumstances while maintaining the integrity of your commitment. If there are extraordinary circumstances, you can contact our support team to discuss options.
