Questions
Everything worth asking before you join. Still stuck? The short version: a promise, a real stake, and you actually showing up.
The basics
What is Cura?
Cura turns a promise into a contract with a real stake, so you actually follow through. Set the goal, put something on the line, and either hold yourself to it or bring a friend to hold the other end.
What's a contract?
A promise with a stake you set attached. Keep it and you did the thing; break it and you honour the stake you chose. Make it joint — a friend holds the other end — or solo, just you and the line you drew.
How's this different from a habit tracker or to-do app?
Trackers remind you; they don't cost you anything when you skip. Cura puts something real on the line, so quietly quitting actually costs you. That's the difference between meaning to and doing.
Do I need a friend, or can I go solo?
You don't need one — but Cura's better shared. Bring a friend to sign it and hold the other end, or fly solo with a stake only you feel. Both work.
Stakes & how it works
What can I put on the line?
Something you'd actually feel — money, a forfeit, a consequence you'd rather avoid. You set the stake; it just has to be real enough to make you show up.
Does the stake have to be money?
No. A stake can be money or a personal forfeit — whatever would genuinely get you off the couch. The point isn't the amount, it's that it's real.
What happens if I break a contract?
You honour the stake you set for yourself — that's the deal you made, and honouring it is what makes the promise stick. CURA records it; the follow-through is yours. CURA never holds, transfers, or guarantees money.
How does a friend hold me accountable?
They sign the contract too, see your progress, and the stake sits on the line between you. A promise you keep to yourself is easy to quietly drop; one a friend can see, you keep.
Getting the app
Can I use Cura now?
Yes, on iPhone and Android. The app is built and the beta is open to anyone: get Cura on your phone, iPhone through TestFlight or Android through Google Play testing.
What is TestFlight?
Apple’s app for trying apps before they reach the App Store. You install TestFlight, tap our link, and Cura installs like any other app. It’s free, and it takes about a minute.
Why invite two people?
Because a promise holds better when someone’s watching. Invite two friends who’d notice if you quit — they’re the ones you’ll write your first contracts with. Going solo works too.
Does it cost anything?
The beta is free. We’ll share pricing details before the app reaches the stores.
