## What is Pretext?

Stuck before you start?

Pretext helps you catch the excuse, understand the pattern, and choose one tiny next step—without building another overwhelming to-do list.

FACE ONE THING
• Log the task you avoided and what you told yourself
• Choose a two-, ten-, or twenty-five-minute step
• Keep one manageable action in view

SEE THE PATTERN
• Track repeat cases on your Board
• Review Mochi’s Read, next tests, and evidence
• Use Insights to notice recurring excuses and contexts

TALK IT THROUGH
• Name what is keeping you stuck
• Let Mochi reflect the pattern without productivity guilt
• Leave with a small, specific next step

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Core use needs no account. Avoidance records stay on your device. Mochi chat is optional and only sends the message and relevant context needed to create a reply. No ad SDK, IDFA, or cross-app tracking.

PRETEXT PRO
Unlock full history, deeper pattern analysis, heatmaps, monthly reports, seven-day Focus, more Mochi chat, CSV export, clean shares, and more tone options.

Pretext is a self-reflection tool, not therapy or medical advice.

SUBSCRIPTIONS
Pretext Pro is available monthly or yearly at the localized App Store price. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in Apple Account settings.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.2 — 2026-08-11

Plans fall apart. Your day doesn’t have to.

Meet Off-Script Recovery: shrink the original Case to two minutes, or choose a useful Plan B for 2, 10, or 25 minutes. Check out honestly, optionally note what changed, and keep the original Case open when Plan B wins.

Every recovery creates a private, on-device receipt you can preview and share. After a few recovered days, Insights can reveal the patterns that help you restart.

We also polished the Liquid Glass inputs, keyboard behavior, and recovery reliability.

### 3.1 — 2026-08-10

Pretext 3.1 brings a clearer way to face what you have been putting off:

• Face one thing at a time from Today
• Keep repeat cases in view
• Quick Log an excuse in seconds
• Talk through stuck points with Mochi
• Finish with one tiny next step
• See recurring patterns more clearly in Insights
• Enjoy refreshed privacy controls and localized screenshots

### 3.0 — 2026-07-14

Meet the cleaner anti-checklist loop: log an avoided action, name the excuse, and let Mochi issue the receipt. The Board and Excuse Court make recurring patterns easier to see, while Quick Log helps you capture them before they disappear. Pro adds full history, deeper insights, seven-day Focus, and higher Mochi chat limits.

### 2.1 — 2026-06-03

- Introducing Excuse Court: every excuse now gets evidence, charges, verdicts, appeals, and repeat-offender status.
- View court summaries right from Home, so your patterns are easier to catch.
- Weekly and monthly summaries now include richer offline insights with clearer tiny next steps.
- Fixed onboarding navigation so the new Guilty Until Proven Innocent flow feels smoother.

### 2.0 — 2026-05-13

Pretext is now clearer, sharper, and more procrastination-focused.

This update highlights everything Pretext does best:
- Track procrastination and avoidance without productivity guilt
- Log what you avoided with fast presets
- Pick the excuse behind the delay
- Get sarcastic mirror messages tailored to your pattern
- See daily procrastination checklist compliance
- Check your home screen widget snapshot
- Follow Mochi reactions across logs, reminders, and summaries
- Procrastination Weather card
- Use onboarding, tone selection, and tutorial flow
- Graduate habits after consistent progress
- Unlock Insight Mode for heatmaps, summaries, recurring pattern callouts, custom excuses, and shareable cards

Same privacy-first design. No account. No ad tracking. Your data stays on device.
