## What is Pact?

Scroll Less. Achieve More.

pact puts a wall of deliberate friction in front of the apps that eat your day. You keep the apps. You just stop losing hours to them.

HOW IT WORKS
Open a restricted app and pact stops you first. It asks how long you actually plan to use it, starts a countdown, then locks the app the moment your time runs out. No willpower needed — just one decision, made before the scrolling starts.

SESSION LIMITS
• Set an intention before every single session
• Apps lock themselves when your timer ends
• A cool-down keeps them locked afterwards
• Daily unlock budgets that reset at midnight

HARD MODE
Switch off early unlocks completely. With Hard Mode on there is no "just five more minutes" — you commit once, and pact holds the line for you.

SCHEDULES
Block distracting apps during the hours that matter. Start with Morning Clarity, Deep Focus and Good Night's Rest, or build your own windows on the days you choose.

APP LIMITS
Give every app a daily time budget — 30 minutes for social, an hour for video. Everything resets at midnight, automatically.

STREAKS & INSIGHTS
Watch your unlocks fall week after week. Build a day streak for every day you finish under your goal, and see exactly where your time went.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
pact is built on Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) framework. No account to create, no tracking, no data sold to anyone.

WHY PEOPLE USE PACT
• Take back your mornings instead of scrolling in bed
• Stay in deep work without reaching for your phone
• Break the late-night scroll and actually sleep
• Cut social media right down without deleting a single app

Download pact and start your first focused day.

PACT PREMIUM
Unlimited restricted apps, schedules, app limits, Hard Mode, streaks and weekly insights. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-11-05

A big update.

• A new, calmer look throughout the app.
• Block your first app for free — no subscription needed to start.
• A breath before you open: a short pause, then say why you're reaching for it.
• Attempt counter: see how often you reach for each app, and watch the number drop week by week in Profile.
• Lock Screen countdown: your session's time left, right on the Lock Screen.
• Open Kindle, Duolingo or Headspace instead — straight from the unlock screen.
• Calendar lock: apps stay shut while an event is on.
• Focus filter and Shortcuts: lock apps when a Focus turns on, or from a Shortcut.
• Step goal: unlocks wait until you've walked your steps.
• Shorter setup, plus bug fixes and performance improvements.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-18

Setup is shorter.

We cut the first-run flow down to the questions that actually change how pact works for you, and dropped the rest. Fewer screens, less waiting, the same limits waiting for you at the end.

Also in this version:
• Fixed a setup screen that could hang instead of showing your Screen Time summary
• Smoother, faster transitions between setup steps
• Assorted bug fixes and performance improvements

Something not working right? Settings → Contact Support, and we'll take a look.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-09-01

No release notes.
