Questions, answered

A communication app where you can't post right now. You write the thing, you pick the moment it goes out, and it goes out, exactly then. No unsend, no edit, no quiet delete at 3am.

The idea is simple: when you can't take it back, you only say things you actually mean.

No. That's the entire product. Once it's sealed, it cannot be edited and it cannot be deleted.

The only way to stop it is to cancel it, and cancelling is not free, because it's supposed to be the harder choice.

You can take it back, at the price you set yourself when you sealed it, back when you were still brave. Your circle sees that you cancelled, but not what you were going to say.

Going through with it is always free. The only thing that ever costs you is the flinch.

Yes. It's a real payment, taken through the App Store the moment you confirm, for the exact price you set when you sealed it. Apple shows you the amount first — back out of that sheet and nothing is charged, and the thing stays on its timer.

Going through with it is still free. The only thing that ever costs you is the flinch, and a Golden Ticket covers one of those at no charge. See Terms, section 6.

An optional add-on, and it's off unless you switch it on. Turn it on and the cost of backing out doubles for the final five minutes before your post goes live.

You get one warning right before that window opens. If you didn't turn Double Down on, your price never moves and you'll never get that warning, nothing creeps up on you.

Your people. Post to a circle and everyone in it gets it, and anyone in it can post back to the same circle. Everybody in a circle knows they're in it, and anyone can leave.

The person who made it runs it, and can disband it.

An actual letter, for when a message isn't enough. You write it, it gets sealed with wax, and it lands in the other person's hands in an envelope they have to break open to read. You can tuck a photo inside.

Like everything else here, it ships on the schedule you set, and you can't unsend it.

A claw machine that lives inside the app, behind the daily bonus door on your missions list. Three free goes a day, restocked at midnight Japan time.

What's in the balls is stuff for inside Commit: cheer cards for your Cheerdex, a stamp for your letters, an extra go, or a Golden Ticket. It's a toy in the corner of the app, not a store.

No. There is nothing to buy. Credits can't be purchased with money, prizes can't be purchased with money, and no payment of any kind improves your odds. Three free goes a day, plus any a friend chooses to gift you out of their own three. Out of credits means you wait until midnight.

That also means it isn't gambling: you can't put money in, and you can't take money out.

Not outside the app. Credits, cheer cards, stamps and tickets have no cash value, and there's no way to cash them out, sell them, trade them for money, or move them to another account. The one transfer we allow is gifting a spare credit to someone in your circle, inside Commit.

They're collectibles in a phone app, and we can change or retire any of them. If your account closes, they close with it. The full version of this is Terms, section 7.

One free take-back. Spend it instead of paying your cancellation price and the commit is cancelled at no cost, though the receipt still shows up like any other cancellation.

You get one for finishing the four starter missions, and one hides in the crane machine, where it is deliberately the hardest ball in there. Tickets are never sold.

No, and we're deliberate about that. Nothing bad happens when you go through with it. There's no penalty for keeping your word, no forfeit, no shaming you into doing the thing.

Commit isn't a stick. It's just a way to make your words count by making them permanent.

Whoever you chose when you sealed it, the people who follow you, or a specific circle, or one person, if it's a message or a letter.

What you can't do is decide later. The audience is part of the commitment.

Photos and videos, yes. Someone who can already see the post can pay for a look: half your cancellation price, on screen for under a second, no saving, no downloading. You see exactly who paid; everyone else just sees how many did.

Words can't be bought. Text, voice notes, DMs and letters are sealed until they ship, and no amount of money opens them early.

Right now, only on a handful of early-access accounts — and only on posts. They can add money to your pool, which raises what backing out costs you. It doesn't go to them or to anyone else; it just makes the exit pricier.

There's a hard ceiling: your price, the Double Down doubling and the pool together can never pass $200. Nobody can price you out of your own take-back.

Commit runs on AWS in Tokyo. Everything between your phone and our servers moves over TLS, stored media is encrypted at rest with AES-256, and passwords are kept only as salted hashes we can't read. Photos and videos live in private storage and are served through signed links that expire within the hour. Payments go through Apple, so your card never touches us.

The honest part: Commit is not end-to-end encrypted. Our servers have to hold a sealed post to deliver it at the moment you picked; that's the product. What we promise instead: your data is never used to train AI, and it is never sold to anyone. The full version is the Privacy Policy, section 10.

We don't screen what you send; permanence only means something if the words are yours. But cancelling costs money, and we know what that could invite: a commit sealed from a hacked account, or in your name, or written to hurt someone, would leave the victim paying to stop it. Nobody should have to buy their way out of someone else's malice.

So reporting is free, and the button sits right beside the pay and cancel controls. Pick what happened (hacked account, not yours, harassment, harmful content, private content shared without consent) and the timer stops on the spot: the commit is hidden, it won't ship to any feed, and nobody is charged while a real person reviews it. If the report holds up, it's removed and never delivers. If it doesn't, it resumes with the time it had left. Details in the Privacy Policy, section 11.

In the app: Settings → Delete account. It closes immediately.

Locked out, or already deleted the app? Request it here, that page also spells out exactly what gets removed and the little we keep.

Anything you'd scheduled is stopped and never delivered.
