How It Works
Record Your Promises
Easily capture commitments as you make them. When you promise to do something—whether it's finishing a task for a colleague, meeting a friend for coffee, or a personal commitment to exercise daily—simply add it to your Promises system. You can record promises on the go using our mobile app, by voice through our smart assistant integration, or by extracting them from your messages and emails. Each promise includes details like who it's made to, the deadline, priority, and any conditions or dependencies.
Plan and Prioritize
The system helps you realistically manage your commitments. After recording a promise, it automatically integrates with your calendar and task management systems to allocate time for fulfillment. The built-in capacity planning feature warns you if you're overcommitting, analyzing your current workload, upcoming obligations, and historical completion patterns. For each promise, you can create subtasks, set milestones, and link to related resources. The system also helps you prioritize competing commitments when conflicts arise.
Track and Stay Accountable
Never let a commitment slip through the cracks. The system provides smart reminders based on the promise's complexity, your schedule, and the lead time needed. For promises to others, you can opt to send progress updates to keep them informed. When unexpected obstacles arise, the built-in renegotiation tools help you proactively communicate changes and set new expectations. Each promise's status is clearly displayed in your dashboard, with color-coding to highlight those needing immediate attention.
Reflect and Improve
Build integrity through data-driven self-awareness. The system generates personal integrity metrics showing your promise completion rate, on-time percentage, and patterns by promise type or recipient. After completing or missing promises, reflection prompts help you understand what worked or what went wrong. Over time, the system identifies patterns in your commitment behaviors and offers personalized recommendations to improve reliability. You can also view relationship-specific metrics to see how consistently you keep promises to specific individuals or groups.

What Users Say
James Wilson
Business Owner
"As a small business owner, keeping track of all my commitments to clients, team members, and partners was overwhelming. The Promises system has transformed my reliability. I now have a clear view of all my commitments, with realistic timelines that account for my workload. The renegotiation tools have been especially valuable—when I need to adjust a deadline, the system helps me communicate professionally with the affected parties. My clients have noticed the difference in my reliability."
Elena Rodriguez
Parent & Software Engineer
"The personal growth I've experienced from using the Promises feature has been profound. I used to overcommit and then feel terrible when I couldn't follow through, both at work and with my family. The capacity analysis warns me when I'm taking on too much, and the integrity metrics have helped me see patterns in my commitment behavior. I now make fewer, more meaningful promises and keep them consistently. My children have even noticed that 'when mom says she'll do something, she really does it'—that means everything to me."
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Promises system differ from regular task management?
While task management focuses primarily on personal to-dos, the Promises system is specifically designed to track commitments that create expectations for others or yourself. It includes relationship context, communication tools for expectation management, integrity metrics, and reflection components that standard task managers don't provide. The system also distinguishes between different types of promises (explicit vs. implicit, social vs. work) and applies appropriate tracking mechanisms for each. While it integrates with your task system, it adds the critical layer of relational accountability and personal integrity development.
Can I use the Promises system for team management?
Yes! The Promises system includes team functionality allowing managers and team members to track shared commitments. Team members can log promises to clients, other team members, or other departments. Managers gain visibility into team commitment loads, completion rates, and potential bottlenecks. The system includes tools for balancing workloads, identifying overcommitment risks, and ensuring critical promises receive proper prioritization. Team-level analytics highlight systemic issues affecting promise fulfillment, while preserving individual accountability for personal commitments.
How does the system handle confidentiality?
We understand that some promises contain sensitive information. The system allows you to control visibility for each promise with three privacy levels: private (visible only to you), specific sharing (visible to selected individuals), and public (visible to everyone in your network). For team environments, additional permission controls determine who can view, edit, or receive notifications about specific promises. All promise data is encrypted, and you can choose to anonymize certain details in analytics while still tracking fulfillment metrics.
