You already know the habits that would change your life. Ten push-ups. A walk after dinner. Lights out before eleven. Knowing was never the problem — doing it alone is. Pacts turns a habit into a small promise with someone who cares: your partner, your mum, your best friend, your kid. You check in each day, they see it — and suddenly skipping feels different. Because you don't break promises to people you love. HOW IT WORKS • Make a pact — one small daily commitment, kept or missed. Start solo in under a minute. • Invite one person who cares. A couple, a parent and child, two friends — both of you see each check-in. • Cheer each other on with one tap, or add a word that actually means something. • Set real rewards together: keep the streak all week and Friday is pizza night. The fridge star chart, digitized — no gems, no badges. STAYS HONEST, NEVER HARSH Your person can mark you, vouch for you — or veto a check-in you didn't earn, and you get a window to correct an honest mistake. The record stays true without anyone playing police. And when you miss a day? Nobody scolds you. A free monthly grace protects your streak from real life, a fresh start is always one tap away — and when life really happens, pause a pact and your streak waits for you. FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY KNOW YOU • Couples — evening walks, gym days, phones away at dinner. • Families — reading before bed, chores without nagging (a pact anyone can do counts for everyone), one scoreboard on the fridge that lives in your pocket. • Long-distance — Dad marks his morning walk; you see it from another city. Some days that's the reason you call. • Friends — the accountability partner app for people who keep ghosting their goals: study sessions, 10k steps, quitting the scroll. • Just you — Pacts is your accountability partner: streaks, gentle reminders, milestones worth celebrating. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your circle is invite-only. There is no public feed, no strangers, and no ads — ever. This isn't social media; it's the three people you'd actually call. WHAT'S FREE Nobody you invite needs a subscription. The person you make your pact with joins free, forever. And everything that makes Pacts work is free: solo pacts, pacts for two, peer check-ins, streaks, rewards, reminders. Pacts Pro upgrades your whole circle — up to 8 people, unlimited pacts, full reward ladders, and a wider grace — a slip a week forgiven automatically, and you can repair a day up to a week back — so for everything the circle shares, only one of you ever pays. Your own Pro also unlocks your personal full history and trends. Small habits compound into a different life — but only if you keep them. Keep them together. Pacts: it turns "I should" into "I promised." SUBSCRIPTIONS Pacts Pro is an optional auto-renewable subscription (monthly or annual). Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase; the subscription renews 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.
