Payoff

The productivity tool that puts your money where your goals are.

Stop relying on motivation alone. Choose a goal, put a real consequence behind it, then watch the number fall as you focus.

Why it works

Motivation fades. Consequences stay real.

Real money on the line

Pick a goal and choose how much accountability you need. Payoff gives the plan weight before you start.

Every second counts

As you focus, the amount still at risk drops continuously. Partial progress still matters.

Finish and avoid the charge

Complete the hours before the deadline and there is no extra commitment charge.

A deadline without consequences is just a suggestion.

Weekly goal: 10 hours

Still at risk$20.00

Before checkout, Payoff shows exactly what is paid now and the maximum that could be charged later.

The real app is built around this same idea: choose the target, start the timer, and watch the amount still at risk fall as you work.

Focus sessions

Start the timer. Work the number down.

25:00
Pick a task, focus, and Payoff reduces the possible deadline charge second by second.

Use Payoff for study, coding, writing, admin, training, or any focused work that keeps getting pushed off.

You are not paying to work. You are putting a consequence behind the goal, then working it down.

How it starts

Three choices. Then you are in.

1

Choose the work

Set the goal and the hours you want to complete this week or month.

2

Choose the pressure

Starter, Focused, and No Excuses change how much money is at risk.

3

Start focusing

Pay the platform fee, save your payment method with Stripe, and begin working the number down.

Most tools remind you. Payoff gives the goal weight.

Good to know

The extra details, without the sales pitch.

Check-ins keep sessions honest. During longer sessions, Payoff may ask for one quick tap. Tap it and keep going. Miss it or close Payoff, and the clock pauses so the money calculation stays fair.
Sessions cap at 2 hours. That keeps the accountability focused. If you want to keep going, start another session right after.
New periods do not silently repeat. After a week or month ends, Payoff pauses until you choose the next target. No surprise repeat commitment.
Stripe handles the payment method. Payoff charges the platform fee first. Only unfinished commitment can be charged later at the deadline.

Payoff charges only the platform fee now and saves your payment method with Stripe. At the deadline, only unfinished commitment may be charged. If you finish your goal, there is no extra commitment charge. After that, Payoff pauses until you choose the next hours.

Only continue if you are 18 or over and the possible future charge is affordable for you.
