Pledge vs Duovoco

Most quit attempts fail in the same ten minutes: late, alone, phone in hand. Pledge is built so you’re not alone in them. TODAY, ONE DAY AT A TIME • Your day count front and center, live: a ticking timer and how far you are through today • What may be changing in your brain around this day, in plain words • Your start date, editable: if you were clean before Pledge, set when your streak really began • Record a setback when it happens A LETTER EVERY MORNING • Your companion (a tiger, a dragon or a monkey you name) writes to you every day • The letter stays sealed until you make the day’s pledge • It’s personal: your why, what you wrote last night, the milestones you reach, and something gentle after a slip A DAILY RHYTHM • Hold to make your pledge in the morning • Close the day at night in 30 seconds RANT IT OUT • Say or type whatever’s in your head • Untangle breaks it into the trigger, the feeling, the story the urge tells and what you really need, then plays it back as a short story • Ask follow-up questions YOUR PATTERN • Pledge learns from your rants, the urges you beat and your slips • See when the pull usually shows up, what’s usually underneath and what helps WHEN THE URGE HITS • One-tap SOS: a 60-second guided ride-out, breathing, a calming puzzle, or your own why letter A COMPANION THAT GROWS • New forms on day 7 and day 30 • A setback never takes a form away SEE HOW FAR YOU’VE COME • A calendar of every day you’ve kept • Your story in chapters: The decision, The storm, First light, The fog lifts, New wiring, Steady ground, Free • Milestone cards along the way AN AI COACH, ANY TIME • Warm, private and there whenever you need to talk • Clearly labelled as AI and not a therapist. If you’re in crisis, Pledge shows you helplines instead. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Notifications are silent and anonymous: nothing on your lock screen says what Pledge is for • Your journal, progress and maps stay on your phone Pledge Ultra unlocks unlimited coach conversations and Untangle maps, the longer guided sessions, and full pattern and trigger analysis. Free includes one Untangle map a day. Pledge Ultra is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.

Goals with accountability - not performance. Duovoco is a focused app for people who want to build something consistent without the noise. No streaks-shaming, no leaderboards, no infinite scroll. Just check-ins, a few people who care, and a reflection partner that actually listens. THREE LAYERS, ONE APP Personal - Your AI Buddy A reflection partner that remembers your goals, your patterns, and how you actually feel. It notices when something shifts. It nudges, gently. It listens without trying to fix. Circle - Your Buddies A handful of people you trust to see what you're working on. They react with Voco (acknowledgment), Lift (encouragement), or Spark (insight). No likes, no metrics. Just presence. Club - Your Groups Shared goals, group templates, weekly check-ins together. Built for small accountability circles - recovery, fitness, focus, learning. Public or invite-only. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT - Check-ins designed for momentum, not perfection. Micro (one tap) for hard days. Standard for the rest. Both count. - Streak protection. Miss a day? Freeze it, don't lose it. Three freezes a week on Pro. - Goal topics with thoughtful defaults: fitness, quit, sleep, focus, mindfulness, money, learning, health, social, creative. - Public, Buddies-only, or Private — per goal, your choice. - Mood and energy tracking woven in. The Dashboard surfaces patterns you wouldn't notice on your own. - Recovery and quit-niche aware. The AI knows when to step back instead of pushing forward. - Crisis-aware safety. If something serious comes up, the AI doesn't pretend to be a therapist. It points you somewhere real. PRICING Free tier covers the basics: 3 goals, 3 groups, 1 streak freeze per week, limited AI. Pro unlocks unlimited goals, 10 groups, private groups, 3 freezes weekly, full AI access, weekly reflection, and advanced dashboard. - Monthly $11.99 - Yearly $87.99 (save 39%) - Lifetime $219 DESIGNED FOR THE LONG GAME Duovoco is not built to be addictive. There is no infinite scroll, no algorithmic feed, no streak that you have to defend at 11:58 PM. The whole point is that you show up because you decided to, not because the app made you panic. Presence over performance. Consistency over perfection.
