Four steps to your
most productive self
Nomp stacks three proven psychological forces — social commitment, loss aversion, and streak psychology — into one simple loop.
Commit to a session
Set your goal, duration, and choose a buddy from your network. No vague intentions — a real, named commitment that shows up on their phone.
Work alongside your buddy
Both of you join the live session. You see each other's progress in real time. Dropping out isn't just a statistic — your buddy knows.
Pledge what you'll lose
Put real money on the line — $5, $10, $50. Complete your session and you keep it. Miss it? The pledge is forfeited. Loss aversion is a superpower.
Build an unbreakable streak
Every session adds to your streak. Miss a day and it resets to zero. After 10 sessions your streak becomes your identity — you fight to protect it.
Free to start. No credit card.
Start your first session→Built for people who
actually want to change
Not another focus timer. Nomp is a commitment platform — every feature is designed to make it harder to quit.
Live buddy sessions
FreeJoin live sessions with your accountability partner. Real-time status updates — you both know who's actually working.
Streak tracking
FreeBuild a streak that becomes your identity. Miss a day and it resets. After 30 days you'll do anything to protect it.
Smart pledges
FreePut real money on the line. Complete your session — keep it. Miss it — forfeit it. Loss aversion is the world's greatest motivator.
Group pledges
ProYour entire team pledges together. One person slacks and the whole pot is at risk. Peer pressure, productively applied.
Phase progression
FreeSessions unlock in phases. Show up 3 sessions to unlock Phase 2, then 3 more for Phase 3. Each phase unlocks deeper features.
Streak freeze
ProLife happens. Use one freeze token per week to pause your streak without losing it. Never start from zero on a bad day.
Session analytics
ProSee your best work hours, completion rates, and what topics take longest. Data-driven productivity optimisation.
Smart reminders
FreePush notifications that actually matter. Buddy live alerts, streak risk warnings, and session reminders — all intelligently timed.

Nomp is the only app that combines all three accountability levers: social, financial, and streak-based.
Three psychological forces.
One unfair advantage.
Nomp isn't just a productivity app — it's behavioural science stacked into a daily ritual.
The Hawthorne Effect
Social commitment
People work harder when observed. Your buddy isn't a cheerleader — they're a witness. The knowledge that someone else can see your progress changes your behaviour instantly.

Kahneman & Tversky
Loss aversion
Losing $10 hurts twice as much as winning $10 feels good. Pledging money you already have — and risking it on your own discipline — is the most powerful motivator behavioural science has found.
2.1× stronger than reward
loss aversion vs. gain incentives
The Seinfeld Principle
Streak identity
'Don't break the chain.' After 21 days your streak stops being a number and starts being who you are. Protecting a streak activates identity-based motivation — the strongest kind.

“Motivation gets you started. Accountability keeps you going. Nomp automates both.”
— Wycliff, founder of Nomp
People who stopped
making excuses
From Lagos to London, from students to founders — the accountability loop works everywhere.
“I'd been putting off my dissertation for six months. Two weeks of Nomp with my study buddy and I had three chapters done. The pledge was only $10 but I'd have died before losing it.”
Priya S.
PhD candidate, UCL
“Our startup team uses it every morning. 8am group session, everyone pledges $20. Missing means owing the team dinner. Nobody has missed in three months.”
Marcus O.
Founder, Lagos
“I tried every productivity app. Notion, Todoist, Forest. None of them had stakes. The moment I put $15 on the line, I stopped 'just checking Twitter real quick'.”
Jamie L.
Software engineer, NYC
“The streak is genuinely terrifying to lose. I've turned down drinks three times because 'I haven't done my Nomp yet.' My friends think I'm crazy but my freelance income is up 40%.”
Camille D.
Freelance designer, Paris
“My buddy texts me if I don't show up. Not an app notification — an actual text. That's the difference. Real accountability from a real person.”
Kwame A.
Medical student, Accra
“I hit my 100-day streak last week. Cried a little. Don't judge me. The milestone sheet with the confetti made it feel like an actual achievement.”
