Get started (Free)Why Most "Free" Accountability Apps Aren't Really Free
Most apps that advertise as free use one of three models, and none of them are actually free in any meaningful sense.
Freemium
The app is free but the features that actually work are locked behind a subscription. You download it, discover it is limited, and pay. This is the most common model in the accountability app space.
Free trial
The app is free for 7 or 14 days, then automatically charges. You have to remember to cancel. Many people do not.
Ad-supported
The app is free because your attention is the product. Ads are served to you. For a purity accountability app, this creates an obvious problem: the ads themselves may be the temptation.
Remain Faithful is none of these. It is free in the same way that a library is free: because someone decided the service should be accessible to everyone, and funded it accordingly.
How Remain Faithful Is Funded
Remain Faithful is a project of the Woodfield Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Donations are tax-deductible. The model is simple: people who find the app valuable donate voluntarily. People who cannot afford to donate use it free.

Common Questions About the Free Model
Why is Remain Faithful free?
Remain Faithful is funded by voluntary donations through the Woodfield Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The founder believes no one should face a financial barrier to accountability. Donors who find the app valuable choose to support it; those who cannot afford to donate use it free of charge.
Will Remain Faithful stay free?
Yes. The commitment is indefinite. There will never be a subscription tier, a premium version, or paywalled features. The donation model is designed specifically to avoid creating financial incentives that would conflict with keeping the app free.
How does Remain Faithful make money if it is free?
It does not make money. Remain Faithful is a nonprofit project sustained by voluntary donations. Server costs run approximately $80 per month. Donors who find the app valuable contribute to cover those costs. The founder personally funds any shortfall.
Is there a catch?
No. No ads, no data selling, no premium upsells. The codebase is open source so anyone can verify this. The only ask is an optional voluntary donation if you find the app valuable.
