What is Momentum Discipline?

Momentum Discipline is an AI-powered accountability and self-discipline app. It scores your day 1-10 from objective inputs like sleep, deep work, gym, content, nutrition, and focus, runs AI face and food analysis, and optionally enforces your non-negotiables with financial stakes via Stripe.

Yes. Momentum has a free tier with daily check-ins and basic streaks. Momentum Pro is $19/month and unlocks AI face analysis, the AI food scanner, the full Body Engine, Ruthless Mode, weekly AI reviews, and the Founders Circle. Pro comes with a 7-day free trial.

How is Momentum different from Habitica or Streaks?

Habitica gamifies habits with XP and rewards. Streaks just counts consecutive days. Momentum is cold and factual: a 1-10 daily score from objective inputs, AI feedback from face and food analysis, a weekly AI review, and optional financial stakes through Ruthless Mode. No rewards, no avatars, no streaks-for-streaks-sake.

What is the Momentum Score?

A 1-10 daily score auto-computed from your weighted check-in inputs (sleep, deep work, gym, content, nutrition, focus) and capped by your Daily Non-Negotiables. Miss a non-negotiable and your day's score is capped regardless of other inputs.

What is Ruthless Mode?

Three accountability intensity tiers: Soft (notifications and weekly review only), Hard (your friends and the Live Red Wall see your slips), and Cold (financial stakes; missed non-negotiables debit your card via Stripe and route to a charity, anti-charity, or the community pool).

How does the AI face analysis work?

You upload a front and a side photo. Gemini Vision returns an appearance score with strengths and areas to improve, and a non-medical improvement plan covering skincare, training, posture, and grooming. Momentum never gives medical diagnoses, prescribes medication, or recommends surgery.

How does the AI food scanner work?

Take a photo of a meal or scan a barcode. The scanner returns calories, macros, key micronutrients, and a higher-protein or lower-calorie 'better option' you can log in one tap. Powered by Open Food Facts and Gemini Vision.

What platforms does Momentum run on?

Web (momentumdiscipline.com, installable as a PWA), iOS native via the App Store, and Android native via Google Play. A home-screen widget showing your Momentum Score and streak is available on both iOS and Android.

Founders, freelancers, operators, athletes, students, and self-improvement practitioners who want objective, militant accountability instead of gamified habits. Especially people who have bounced off Habitica (too gamified), Streaks (too soft), or Notion (too DIY).

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. 7-day free trial, then $19/month. Cancel anytime from Settings. No questions, no retention dark patterns.

Does Momentum implement the 12-Week Year?

Momentum borrows the 12-Week Year's lead-indicator discipline — score behaviors you control, not lagging outcomes — but runs continuously instead of on fixed 12-week cycles. Your daily Momentum Score is the lead indicator: hit your Non-Negotiables, score reflects it; miss them, score caps regardless of busy work.

How does Momentum apply 10x Is Easier Than 2x?

By forcing you to declare daily Non-Negotiables and weighting Deep Work at 35% of your score — the highest of any input. The AI coach surfaces when 2x-thinking (more tasks, more inputs) is dragging your score down vs 10x-thinking (fewer, higher-leverage commitments).

Can I use Momentum for sprint planning?

Yes. The /sprint section gives you continuous Tasks, Goals, and Calendar in one place — no fixed cycles. Sunday Planning walks you through next week's commitments, and screenshot-to-task import (Pro) pulls tasks straight from any external calendar.

Is Momentum about motivation or discipline?

Discipline. Motivation is a feeling — Momentum is built on the premise that feelings are unreliable. Daily Non-Negotiables, objective scoring, photo proof-of-work, and optional financial stakes are the mechanisms that make execution happen on the days you don't feel like it.

Momentum vs GoalsWon: App Scoring vs Human Coach

Momentum vs GoalsWon

GoalsWon gives you a human coach who texts you daily. Momentum gives you a daily score and weekly verdict in an app. Both work. They work differently and cost differently.

What GoalsWon is

A daily-check-in service with a real human coach. You message the coach in the morning with your plan, they respond at night. Strong human accountability, slow iteration cycle, $100+/month.

What Momentum is

A daily scoring app. Quick Check-in in under 90 seconds, immediate score, weekly report on Friday/Saturday. No human coach — the app is the coach. $9.99/month.

Which one to pick

Pick GoalsWon if you want a person on the other end. Pick Momentum if you want immediate feedback, structured scoring, and 5x lower cost. Many Momentum users started on GoalsWon and switched once they realized the daily check-in is the part that actually drives behavior change — not the human response.

Frequently asked

Is a human coach worth the price?

Worth it if you need someone to talk you off the ledge regularly. If you just need structure and a daily verdict, an app is faster and 5x cheaper.

Can I add a human coach to Momentum?

Not officially. Some users hire a coach separately and use Momentum's Weekly Reports as the input.
