Get paid to keep your habits
Put a stake on a habit your phone can prove: steps, workouts or sleep. Finish the challenge and get your stake back plus a share of the prize pool. Miss it, and your stake goes to the people who finished.

What do you want to stick to?
We only launch habits we can verify well enough to move real money. If a sensor can’t confirm it, it doesn’t count.
10,000 steps a day for 14 days
How we verify it
Step count from Apple Health and Health Connect.
Use a watch or ring? If it syncs to Apple Health or Health Connect, it works with HABETS.
Pick a habit. Prove it. Get paid
You choose the goal, your phone keeps score, and finishing is what pays.

Why a stake works when reminders don’t
A stake turns “I should” into “I will”. Here’s how we keep it fair.
0%
cut of missed stakes
We never profit from misses
HABETS charges a flat entry fee and nothing else. We never take a cut of missed stakes, so we only do well when you do.
0
photos or screenshots
Sensors, never photos
Results come from your phone and wearable data, never photos or screenshots, which AI makes easy to fake. Numbers you type in yourself don’t count.
18+
adults only
Clear rules, adults only
For adults 18+. You see the full rules of a challenge before you pay. Stakes sit with a regulated payments partner, never with us.
Warned
before a missed sync costs you
Sync problems don’t sink you
If your data stops syncing, the app warns you first. Late data still counts within a grace window, and if Apple Health or Health Connect goes down for many people at once, that day won’t count against anyone.
See what finishing could pay
Everyone who finishes gets their stake back. The stakes from people who miss are split between the finishers.

If you miss

You lose your $25 stake. It goes to the finishers.
Plus a small flat entry fee, set at launch. HABETS never takes a cut of missed stakes.
How we calculate this
Your share = your stake × (people who miss ÷ people who finish). With a $25 stake and 30% missing: $25 × 30 ÷ 70 = $10.71.
Illustration only. Real payouts depend on how many people finish each challenge.

Meet Rabbet
Rabbet is the one who helps your habits stick. Rabbet keeps you company on every challenge: cheering the days you show up and nudging you on the days you’re about to skip.
We built the push we needed
We’ve both started more habits than we’ve kept. The apps we used were great at telling us what we’d missed, and none of them made missing cost anything.
So we built what we wished we’d had: a reason to show up that doesn’t run on willpower. Put a stake on a habit, let your phone’s sensors prove you did it, and get your stake back plus a share of the pool when you finish. And we never make money from the days you miss.
We’re building it now. Join the waitlist and help us decide what we launch first.

Everyone’s stake goes into the pool. When the challenge ends, everyone who finished gets their full stake back plus a share of the stakes from people who didn’t. Try the calculator above to see examples.
A habit counts when your phone or wearable can confirm it from sensor data: steps, workouts and sleep at launch. If a sensor can’t confirm it, it doesn’t count, and numbers you type in yourself never do.
Downloading HABETS will be free. Each paid challenge has your stake, which you get back if you finish, and a small flat entry fee. We’ll confirm fees before launch. HABETS never takes a cut of missed stakes.
iPhone through Apple Health and Android through Health Connect. Watches and rings such as Apple Watch, Garmin, Oura, Fitbit or WHOOP work when they sync to one of those. Sleep challenges need a wearable, because phone-only sleep estimates aren’t reliable enough.
The app shows your data health live, so you’ll see a warning like “No data since 2pm, open the app to sync” before it costs you. Data that arrives late still counts within a grace window, and if Apple Health or Health Connect goes down for many people at once, that day won’t count against anyone.
When a challenge ends, your stake and your share are paid out to your bank account. Stakes are held by a regulated payments partner, never by HABETS itself.
No. In HABETS the result depends only on your own verified activity: you set a goal, and you either reach it or you don’t. You’re not predicting anything or relying on luck. Paid challenges are 18+ and will only open where they’re permitted.
We’re launching first in the United Kingdom, then Panama, Colombia and the United States, each once it’s legally cleared. Join the waitlist and we’ll tell you the moment your country opens.
Health data is sensitive, and we treat it that way. We only read what a challenge needs, only with your permission, and only to verify your progress.
