OnPace. Confront the gap. OnPace is an accountability engine for three tasks a day. No more. OnPace will not praise you. OnPace will not let tasks sit in a list for three weeks. OnPace will force you, every single night, to decide what to do with every task you did not finish. What OnPace does differently - Three tasks a day. Enforced. Not a guideline. Three is the number that forces you to choose, and choosing is the actual work. - Carry strike escalation. Every time you push a task forward, it receives a red tally mark. On the third carry, the app forces a decision. Do it now, schedule a specific future date, or drop it on the record. There is no fourth strike. - Close Day ritual. Every task unresolved at the end of the day gets an explicit decision. Carry, complete, or drop. No silent rollover. No escape route. - Pattern intelligence in the Pro tier. A fourteen-day behavioural profile that computes which day of the week you are lying to yourself on, which category of task you consistently avoid, and the probability that any new task will be carried before you ever hit save. - Integrity score and integrity streak. The streak is a record of consecutive days with zero carries. Dropping a task keeps the streak alive. Carrying it breaks the streak. The score is a per-day reading of how honest your resolution ritual was. Zero praise. Zero gamification. Zero casino mechanics. Just the facts of what you did. OnPace is probably not for you if You want encouragement. You want a colour-coded dashboard. You want to plan forty tasks and feel good about finishing twelve. You want an app that makes to-do lists fun. OnPace is for you if You have tried every productivity app on this store. You know exactly what to do. You are avoiding the feeling of doing it. You want something that makes the avoidance harder than the task. About the Pro tier Pro is not more features. Pro is the app becoming mathematically self-aware of your avoidance. It recomputes your fourteen-day profile every night during Close Day and uses it to predict, warn, and analyse. The pattern context sent to our AI is roughly two hundred tokens of metadata. It does not include your task titles or any task content. Backups are encrypted on your device with AES-256-GCM before they ever leave it. The encryption key lives in your iPhone Keychain and never touches our servers. Confront the gap. Subscription information OnPace Pro is an auto-renewing subscription that unlocks AI Insight, pace alerts, calendar sync, pattern profile, and encrypted cloud backup. - OnPace Pro Monthly. 4.99 USD per month. Price may vary by region. - OnPace Pro Yearly. 29.99 USD per year. Price may vary by region. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage subscriptions and cancel renewal in your iOS account settings after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial period is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
