Accountability coach: what one does and what it costs.
An accountability coach helps you follow through on goals. The published plans we list cost $100 to $200 a month. GameTape gives founders a daily debrief of selected meeting commitments and observed Mac work. $95 a month; human coaching is separate.
Best for: founders who make commitments in meetings and want them back in view each morning.

What an accountability coach does.
Agree on a plan, review progress and adjust it with your coach.
An accountability coach helps you follow through on goals. You agree on the work and review progress together. Some services pair weekly calls with messages or daily check-ins. A person can help you adjust the plan when circumstances change.
Ask how a coach learns what happened between calls. Your updates, shared documents and stakeholder feedback each reveal part of the work. GameTape adds observations from supported activity on your Mac.
Your debrief brings selected meeting commitments back into view. Use it to decide what needs attention today.
A record for your next review.

Illustrative example in the real debrief format.
The ledger surfaces selected commitments from your recorded meetings. It includes a due date when the words support one. Your debrief also puts observed work in the context of your goals.
Some work happens off your Mac: a file sent from your phone, a question settled in a hallway. Check the outcome before you count a promise as unfinished.
Every coach is only as good as what they can see.
Ask what your coach will use to review your progress.
| Human coach | Check-in app | GameTape | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What the coaching is built on | Your updates and agreed evidence | Your replies | Your actual work |
| How much of your month it sees | Calls and support vary by plan | The parts you answer | Supported activity during capture |
| Surfaces meeting commitments | Depends on the evidence shared | Depends on what you enter | Selected commitments from recorded meetings |
| Helps interpret recurring behavior | Human feedback and discussion | Varies by app | Debriefs and weekly synthesis |
| Sits with you while you think it through | Yes | No | No |
Keep your coach if the relationship helps. Bring a moment from your debrief to the next session. The record gives you a specific event to discuss.
A promise with enough detail to review.
In the meeting: “I will send Acme the pricing doc by Thursday.” The useful details are the action, the recipient and the deadline.

Scheduled
Send Acme the pricing doc by Thursday
At the next review: Check that Acme received the document. Editing the draft does not count as sending it. If the record shows no delivery, ask what happened.
What leaves your Mac, and what stays.
Check what GameTape captures and which providers process it.
GameTape uses macOS accessibility to observe supported work as text. For surfaces that need a screenshot fallback, an image goes to our AI provider for description and is then deleted. No screenshot reaches GameTape servers.
The code skips password managers, banking and private browsing. Lock your Mac or hit pause and GameTape captures nothing. It stops outside your working hours and never observes a background tab. You choose which meetings to record.
Coaching uses text summaries and meeting transcripts. Before you record sensitive work, read the security page for provider roles and capture controls.
Your debrief goes to you. You choose what to share with a coach, and GameTape has no manager reporting view.
