Clearing
Quit porn, gambling or scrolling. Only pay if you fail.
What is Clearing?
Clearing blocks porn, gambling or social media on your iPhone, iPad and Mac and puts your own money on your streak. Pick your price ($10 to $500) and a 30, 60 or 90-day pledge; $0 today. Stay clean and you pay $0; relapse, or switch the blocker off for more than 24 hours, and you are charged once. One free app and one pledge cover iPhone, iPad and Mac. No subscription. Coming soon to the App Store.

sometimes customers say they will join if you build a particular feature if possible make them commit by paying for multi-month subscription with the guarantee that you built the feature within a reasonable time frame otherwise them telling you that they will sign up if you build this that's just an empty promise
Force "I'll sign up if you build X" prospects to pre-commit with a multi-month plan
"Build X and I'll sign up" is one of the most expensive lies in early product development — you build the feature, they don't convert, and you're stuck maintaining bloat for one phantom prospect. Convert the conversation: "I'll build X if you prepay 6 months at full price, refundable if I don't ship by date Y." Real prospects pre-commit; tire-kickers go quiet. Either way you stop building features for non-customers.
