How Takebook Works
Learn how to track your predictions, improve your decision-making, and build accountability for your thoughts.
Quick Start Guide
Create a Take
Write down what you think will happen and why. Be specific about your prediction and reasoning.
Set a Date
Choose when you'll know the outcome. This creates accountability and helps you track timing.
Review & Learn
When the date arrives, mark whether you were right or wrong and reflect on your reasoning.
What is a Take?
A "Take" is your prediction about something that will happen in the future. It's your belief, opinion, or forecast about an outcome that can be verified later.

Time-bound

Include Your Reasoning
Explain why you believe this will happen
Example Take

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from just writing in a notes app?
Takebook is specifically designed for accountability. It tracks when you made predictions, reminds you to review them, and helps you analyze your track record over time. Regular notes apps don't have these prediction-specific features.
Can I edit my takes after creating them?
You can add notes and mark outcomes, but the original prediction and reasoning are locked to maintain integrity. This prevents you from changing your story after you know the outcome.
What kinds of predictions work best?
Any prediction with a clear, verifiable outcome works well. Popular categories include: stock market predictions, sports outcomes, business decisions, personal goals, technology trends, and political events.
How do I know if I'm getting better at predictions?
Takebook tracks your accuracy over time and helps you identify patterns in your reasoning. The key is consistency—make predictions regularly and review them honestly.
