Nobody knows what you promised
A commitment that lives only in your head can change without anyone noticing, including you.
Focus Add-on: Accountability
Tell one person what you will finish. Let them see it happen.
Accountability is a Focus Add-on for AI Focus Tool. It creates a private, read-only link to your active priority and its finish line for one person you trust, such as a coach, manager, or friend. They need no account. The page shows whether you are in progress or finished, and you can turn the link off anytime.

- The other person needs no account and no app.

- Accountability costs $12 per year on its own, or comes included in Focus Pro ($49 per year) with every other Focus Add-on.
The problem
Why private promises are easy to break
When nobody knows what you committed to, it is easy to let a new idea quietly replace it.
Status updates take time
Writing "here is where I am" messages pulls you out of the work you are reporting on.
Shared tools can show too much
Inviting someone into a task app can show them far more than the one commitment you meant to share.
The solution
How Accountability works
One priority, one person, one private link.
Set your priority and finish line
The commitment is already clear, because every priority needs a finish line.
Create a private link
Tap Share My Priority Privately. The link shows only this priority.
Send it to one person
A coach, manager, colleague, or friend. They open it in any browser, with no account.
Finish, and they see it
The page shows finished when you complete the priority. Turn the link off at any time.
Benefits
What changes when you add Accountability
A commitment someone can see
One person you trust knows what you said you would finish.
No status messages to write
The page shows in progress or finished on its own.
Privacy you control
Read-only, one priority, and your ideas stay private. Turn it off anytime.
Easy for them
No account, no app to install, nothing for them to manage.
Quick check
Is Accountability right for you?
Answer three yes or no questions. You get an honest answer, even when Accountability is not what you need.
Your answers stay on this page. We only count how many people take the check and how many say yes, never who you are.
How it compares
Why Accountability works better for one priority
Other tools are built to manage many things at once. Accountability is built for one job: helping you finish the one priority you chose.
| What matters | Without Accountability | With Accountability |
|---|---|---|
| Who knows your commitment | Only you | One person you choose |
| Keeping them updated | Messages you write by hand | A page that updates itself |
| What they can see | Whatever you send them | One priority, its finish line, and its status |
| Stopping | A sent message cannot be taken back | Turn the link off anytime |

When another tool is the better choice
- You want to work live alongside another person. A coworking or body doubling service is built for that.
- Your team needs shared projects and assigned tasks. A team task manager is built for that.

Accountability questions, answered
What is Accountability in AI Focus Tool?
Accountability is a Focus Add-on that creates a private, read-only link to your active priority and its finish line for one person you trust. They need no account, and you can turn the link off anytime.
Does the other person need an account?
No. They open the private link in any browser. They can see it, but they cannot change anything.
What can they see?
Your active priority, its finish line, whether it is in progress or finished, and step progress if you use Priority Steps. They never see your Idea Parking Lot or your other ideas.
Can I stop sharing?
Yes. Turn the link off at any time, and the page stops showing your priority.
How much does Accountability cost?
Accountability is available on its own for $12 per year, about $1 a month, or included in Focus Pro for $49 per year, with every other Focus Add-on. Both are billed once a year in US dollars through secure Stripe checkout, and you can cancel anytime.
What happens to my data if Accountability ends?
Nothing is deleted. Your accountability link stops showing your priority until the add-on is active again.
Do I need an account to use Accountability?
Yes. Focus Add-ons live in your private Member Workspace, which costs $0 and opens with your email address, so what you create is saved and synced across your devices.
