Pledgr is an app that compel users to create and achieve their goals using friends as accountability partners.

Pledgr combines the powerful psychological influence of social media with a bit of AI technology. Moreover, this is to create a platform where users are encouraged by their circle of influence to get things done. It advocates the need for everyone to set goals and actually do them.

When you make a post (set a goal) on pledgr, you cannot delete it. Also, it sets a date and time to it done. When you achieve your goal, you upload a picture or video as proof that you actually did it.

You then receive an achievement badge on your post and hence you can have a catalogue of all your achievements on your profile.
