About

Tiny Pact

Read full description

A habit app, not a habit tracker. Tiny Pact helps you keep small habits as pacts — personal or shared, quiet or with people who know you. Create pacts for the habits you want to build: walk daily, pray on time, read one page, journal, sleep by 11, drink water, or something of your own. Each pact asks one simple question: Did you do it today? Say yes, or skip. Either way, Tiny Pact helps you stay honest without turning your habit into a performance. PERSONAL OR SHARED PACTS Some habits are just for you. Start a personal pact and keep a quiet record of your week. Some habits are easier with people in your corner. Invite family, friends, or people you trust into a shared pact when you’re ready. You can create multiple pacts — each with its own habit, people, and reminder. HONEST ACCOUNTABILITY In a shared pact, your circle can see who checked in and who skipped. That is the point: accountability without shame. No leaderboards. No public profiles. No follower counts. No group chat. No “you missed!” alerts. No forced group reminder time. Each person chooses their own reminder. Each person keeps their own record. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE One skipped day should not make you feel like you failed. Tiny Pact is designed for the way habits actually happen: some days you show up, some days you don’t, and the work is to keep coming back. Your pact gives you a simple place to be honest, encouraged, and consistent over time. A SMALL WAY TO STAY CLOSE Tiny Pact is only a few small moments: Your pacts. Your daily check-ins. Your week. A simple view of who else showed up. A small way to say, “I saw you.” Create a pact. Invite your circle. Keep showing up.
