You never wrote it down
An unwritten goal is a wish. It has no edge, no date, and nothing to answer to.
A vow without a sword is just a wish.
Your life goal,
forged into a daily vow.
Everyone has one thing they must achieve. SwordVow takes that one thing, breaks it into a daily action, and seals every single day — so the gap between who you are and who you swore to become keeps closing.
Write your vow — free
No card. 1 vow. Takes 90 seconds.
Vow it. Seal it. Do the day.
The sword is not for your enemies. It is for the version of you that wants to quit.
Goals don't die on hard days.
They die on ordinary Tuesdays.
You never broke it down
"Get fit" is not an action. "Run 2km before 8am" is. Only the second one can be kept today.
Skipping one day cost you nothing
That's the whole disease. A skipped day must leave a mark, or tomorrow will skip too.
The loop
Three moves. Every day.
-
01
Write the vow
One life goal, in your own words — and the reason behind it, written so your future self can't lie about it.
-
02
Break it down
We reduce it to a single daily action with a deadline on the calendar. One vow, one day, one move.
-
03
Seal the day
Mark it sealed before midnight. Your streak is a blade that grows. Miss a day, and it breaks — visibly, permanently, in the record.
The stake
What happens when you break it?
Reminders don't work. Consequence does. Choose how much a broken day costs you — and set it before you're weak.
- Silent — the record knows. Your streak resets to zero.
- Witness — the person you name gets told you broke your vow.
- Stake — a real charge hits your card on a broken day, forwarded to a charity, an organization you oppose, or SwordVow. Nothing is charged on the days you keep.
A vow with nothing at stake is a note to yourself. Notes get ignored.
No deposits, no balance, no wallet — SwordVow never holds your money and never moves it between users.
Day 47 broken. The sword stays in the record.
Pricing
Free to vow. Pay to be held.
The vow itself is never behind a paywall. What you pay for is the part that thinks — the daily anchors and the intervention that lands on the day you want to quit.

Vowkeeper
$8/month
or $69 / year — $5.75 a month, 28% off
- Unlimited vows in parallel
- AI daily anchors — your whole vow broken into one move per day, generated once when you seal it
- Break-point intervention — press the button on the day you want to quit, and it answers with what you wrote
- Background record and rollover to your next vow
- Backup restore across devices
Month and year give you exactly the same features — the only difference is how often you pay. AI anchors are fair-use: 60 per month, stated here, not buried.
The stake
Money only ever moves on a day you don’t seal — $10 to $500, charged once and forwarded to the charity, the cause you oppose, or us. We keep 20% as a service fee. Set a stake and Vowkeeper drops to $4 for your first month, because a stake says you mean it.
Breaking a vow
The record stays broken — the crack in the heart doesn’t heal. Rewriting a vow costs $3–5. It isn’t a fee for us; it’s the price of asking for a second chance.
What we never do
We never hold your money, never run a balance, never move funds between users, and never charge a day you kept. Your vow lives on your own device — that’s why there’s no account to make.
Cancelling
Two clicks, same as signing up. No retention maze, no phone call, no “are you sure” loop.
