## What is PactUp?

Make a pact with your friends. Miss it, and the meal is on you.

PactUp turns a good habit into a friendly competition. Pick one thing: up by 7:30, three workouts a week, no bubble tea this month. Invite your friends, agree the terms, and check in every day. Keep your streak and you grow. Slip, and you treat everyone to breakfast, dinner or whatever the group agreed.

GROW TOGETHER, COMPETE A LITTLE
• Start a pact in a minute and invite friends with a link, a code or an Instagram Story.
• Everyone reads the same rules before they join.
• Check in with one tap and a seal. Your friends see it and cheer you on.
• When the round ends, the recap shows who treats. Pick a time for the meal right inside the pact.
• Friendly, never cruel: on a day you miss, the first thing you see is what your friends had to say, not a bill.

A BUDDY THAT GROWS WITH YOU
• Hatch Daisuke the shiba or Miruku the cat, with more buddies to meet later.
• Your buddy walks around Home, heads off on adventures, sends postcards and chats with you once a day.
• What you do shapes who it becomes: energetic, gentle, curious or disciplined.
• A small gift every day, and a mood calendar to look back on.

PACTS THAT FIT REAL LIFE
• Wake up: a morning wall, weekdays only if you like, and public holidays off for everyone.
• Quit: an evening check-in, a "Help me hold on" button your friends answer, and a savings counter only you can see.
• Lose weight: weigh in on set days and compare percentages, never kilos.
• Work out: a weekly ring and a minimum number of minutes.
• Be on time: set a time and a place in three steps, then tap "I'm here" when you arrive. Your location stays on your phone.

BRING A FRIEND
Invite a friend and you both get a friendship postcard. When three friends have checked in, you get 7 days of Pro, free.

ABOUT THE MONEY
PactUp never touches it. No card, no wallet, no payments between friends. The app writes down what you agreed and what happened; you settle up yourselves, usually over that meal. Rather keep money out of it? Play for bragging rights and the streak.

THE GROUP DECIDES
Think a check-in wasn't real? Put it to the group. Everyone votes and the majority settles it. Reporting and blocking are built in.

FREE
One pact of your own with money in it, up to 12 people, rounds up to 14 days. Joining a friend's pact is always free, and pacts with no money in them don't count toward that one.

PACTUP PRO (optional subscription)
As many pacts of your own as you like, up to 30 people in one, rounds of a month or three, every buddy, Apple Health check-ins when a workout, your steps or your sleep are logged, the full year view and deeper monthly reports, and the next round set up from the last one. Only the person who starts a pact needs Pro.

Monthly or yearly. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple Account and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.1.0 — 2026-10-29

Open your pact to people you have not met yet, and choose who joins.
• Open call: share one link, people apply, and you pick who joins. Anyone past the seats goes on a waitlist. Open calls are a Pro feature.
• Finishers list: when a round ends, people who finished can choose to be named on the list, and can take their name off any time.
• Donation pledge: optional. If you do not finish, you donate to a charity you picked. PactUp never handles the money. The donation page opens in your browser, and you can attach a receipt photo.
• Credit score: only you can see it. If you apply to an open call, the owner sees it only after you agree. Leaving a pact without settling up takes 20 points off. Finish a pact and the last deduction comes back, once a week at most. Opened the wrong pact? Delete the draft and nothing is taken off.
• Smoother to use: Home puts what needs a check-in first, the check-in button stays at the bottom, error messages say what to do next, deadlines show in your phone's time, and notifications repeat less. The morning after a round ends, the people who finished hear about it.

### 2.0.5 — 2026-10-16

Starting a pact is now a quick chat with your buddy.
• New pact flow: pick a habit, take the suggested setup in one tap, or adjust it one question at a time. The money question is always yours to answer.
• Week in review: every Sunday evening, see the days you kept, your moods and who showed up with you. Share it as a card.
• Calendar: on days you kept, see the seals and words your friends left. Tap a pact to open it.
• Your year so far: open it from the Calendar any time, not just in December.
• Pro, Mood clues: patterns between your mood, your tags and your pacts, plus your sleep and steps on iPhone. All worked out on your phone.
• Waiting to join a pact? You can now cancel the request, and owners see new requests right on Home.
• Privacy: blocking now hides each other's check-ins both ways, and Me > Safety has a new switch for usage stats.
• Fixes: Home refreshes when you come back, and the widget streak stays current.

### 2.0.4 — 2026-10-10

Friends' buddies drop by your Home, and every pact grows a flower each week.

• Visits: when a friend who shares a pact with you has checked in today, their buddy walks into your Home. Tap it to seal that friend's check-in. After you check in, a visiting buddy cheers "We both made it!". You can turn visits off in Settings.
• Pact flower: every repeating pact grows a flower each week. The days you keep are petals, and petals only go up. After 6 pm on Sunday you can share this week's flower, and from Monday to Wednesday last week's.
• Check in to the same kind of pact together (Pro): with several wake-up, workout or weigh-in pacts, confirm once and each pact gets its own check-in.
• Pick your next buddy (Pro): when a round ends and the egg is ready, choose which buddy you want, then hold to warm the egg.
• Buddies on your widget: the home screen and lock screen widgets show your buddy, for everyone.
• Milestones are now a badge shelf, and the newest one pops in with a little confetti.
• The "Share this month" memories card is redesigned as a scrapbook, with a spot for each of 1 to 9 photos.
• Simplified Chinese: widgets and the lock screen now speak Simplified Chinese, and you can pick it in Settings.
• Small fixes: tapping "Back to everyone" after a weigh-in no longer loops, the keyboard closes after you write a mood note, the seal color no longer flashes red first, buddy chat and the daily gift count a new day from 5 am, the language, dark mode and reminder choices use the system style, and the buddies' success and failure animations no longer sit on a beige square.

Thanks for keeping your promises with us.

### 2.0.3 — 2026-10-03

This update fixes the things you told us about, one by one.

• A clearer lock screen countdown: it shows up only in the last 2 hours before a daily pact closes, the layout stays tidy, and no more blank black bar covering the time. Weekly pacts no longer take over the Dynamic Island.
• Starting a few-times-a-week pact midweek? The first week only counts the days that are left, so you don't start behind. Same for the last week.
• Your mood diary reads the clock: just after midnight it asks about yesterday, and "How was today?" waits until the evening.
• You can now set Today's pose on weekly pacts too.
• "Your year in moods" has a short line under the Mood and Kept switch, so you always know what you're looking at.
• The Pro page now shows how much the yearly plan saves you.
• Links that mix languages now have an even underline.

Thank you to everyone who reported a problem. We read every one.

### 2.0.2 — 2026-10-02

See how far you've come, one kept day at a time.

• Your whole year with Pro: every month of moods and kept days on one card, deeper monthly reports with a few observations about your month, and six personal records with their history. Everyone gets a little cheer when a new record lands.
• Memories with Pro: turn on “Keep my check-in photos” and the photos you take yourself stay in a private album on the Calendar tab. Only you can see them, and you can delete one or all anytime.
• Small habits, your way: pick a theme for your third habit or write your own (Pro), and turn on one gentle evening reminder if anything's left.
• Your buddy has more to say: stories from its adventures, a new “I'd rather not say” choice, and little things it remembers about you, which only you can see.
• Leading a pact? Pro adds a monthly team report and lets you pick the card color and seal style everyone sees. Pro members can also pick their own seal color.
• Everyone in a pact now sees each other's buddies.
• Opens faster: your buddy and your pacts are there right away.
• In a pact you do a few times a week, friends now see you as checked in on the days you seal it.

Thanks for keeping your promises with us.
