How it works

Sworn is deliberately simple: one task, one amount, one deadline, one piece of proof.

  1. 1

    Nothing is charged when you pledge

    Your amount is placed as a hold (a pre-authorisation) on your card through Apple Pay. The money stays with your bank — Sworn never holds your funds.

  2. 2

    Proof must be captured live, in the app

    Photos and videos are taken inside Sworn. Camera roll uploads are not accepted, so old or borrowed evidence can't be submitted.

  3. 3

    Every submission gets a reference code

    You'll see a code like SW-4K7Q-92 the moment you submit. Keep it — it's how you can raise a dispute if you think our review got it wrong.

  4. 4

    Reviewed by the end of your due date

    Every proof is checked and decided by the end of the day you promised. Accepted proof releases your hold in full.

  5. 5

    Miss it and the hold is collected

    If the deadline passes with no accepted proof, the hold is captured. 75% of Sworn's revenue goes to the charity you selected.
