Commit to the work that pays
Outreach, shipping, deep work, the launch you keep pushing back. Pick what moves revenue, set the deadline and sign.
For solopreneurs
No boss. Still a deadline.
Nobody notices when you skip a day. Skipless does. Commit to the work that pays, pick your penalty, and choose who hears when you miss.
What will you commit to?
What does a skip cost you?
10 outreach messages each weekday. Skip it once, and you pay $50.

Sound familiar?
Working for yourself means freedom. It also means nobody checks. Skipless gives you what a good boss would: targets, deadlines and someone who asks.
“I’ll start prospecting once the website’s finished.”
“Another day of research. Zero messages sent.”
“The launch date moved. Again.”
Skipping always costs you. Just not today.
Nobody notices a skipped day. Your bank account does, eventually.
Day 1Skip prospecting. Nothing happens.
Week 2Push the launch back. Still nothing.
Month 6The pipeline is empty. The bills aren’t.
Year 5Still where you started, watching others pull ahead.
With SkiplessMiss your outreach, pay $50 within a day. Not in five years.
When skipping costs something now, doing the work gets easier.
How Skipless works for solopreneurs
Real screens from the app. Two minutes to set up.
Step 1
Contract · Send 20 outreach messages
I will send 20 outreach messages to potential clients every week. I check in by 5:00 pm each Friday, proven by self check-in and confirmed by Alex (if Alex doesn’t answer within 24 hours of a deadline, my check-in stands). Each missed week costs $50, charged after a 24-hour dispute window. Alex hears about every miss.

Step 2
Choose what a skip costs
Set the price while you’re clear-headed. It’ll be waiting when “research” starts to feel like work.

Nothing is charged until a miss stands for 24 hours, so you can always appeal.
Step 3
Report in, like you had a boss

Why it works
Losing feels about twice as bad as gaining.1 Deciding ahead helps too: when Nobel laureate Richard Thaler had people commit in advance to save part of future pay rises, their savings rate rose from 3.5% to 13.6%.2 And Stanford researchers found people who got regular check-ins were doing 51% more exercise a year later.3

Questions
Isn’t this just a to-do list?
A to-do list doesn’t care when you skip. Skipless adds a deadline, a penalty and someone who hears about it.
What stops me from just tapping Yes?
Your partner. They confirm each check-in, and if they say no, it’s a miss.
What if a client emergency takes my day?
Appeal within 24 hours. Nothing is charged while your appeal is open.
Is it free?
Yes, while Skipless is in beta. After that, one commitment stays free.
Skip once, pay once. Or don’t skip.
Set the deadline your boss would have.
