Habit Tracker vs Shield

Pact is a habit tracker built for real life — where habits aren’t just “done” or “failed.” Track progress beyond yes-or-no check-ins, capture partial wins and slip-ups, and see your consistency reflected through meaningful data. Whether you’re starting small or pushing hard, Pact helps you stay accountable in a way that actually matches how habits work. --- PRIVACY FOCUSED Your habits, your data. Your personal habits are nobody else’s business. Pact is fully privacy-focused: no account, no sign-up, no cloud syncing. All data is stored locally on your device, and you stay in complete control of your habit tracker data. CREATE AND COMMIT TO PACTS Start by creating Pacts (the habits, routines, or personal goals) you want to stick to. Pact is more than just a habit tracker. It’s a system that lets you reflect, measure, and adapt your progress over time. MANAGE CHECK-INS Unlike most habit tracker apps, Habit Tracker: Pact allows both positive and negative check-ins, helping you monitor both habit-building and habit-breaking, while also ensuring the relapses don't go out of control. Each check-in adjusts your score: +10 for positive actions and -5 for negative ones. Multiple check-ins per day are supported, and you can add personalised notes for each one. WIDGETS FOR YOUR HOME SCREEN Stay on top of your habits without breaking your flow. Pact offers two types of Home Screen widgets, each available in Small and Medium sizes: The Pact-Specific Widget lets you pin any single habit directly to your Home Screen. See your streak, recent check-in history at a glance, and - without ever opening the app - tap to log a successful or unsuccessful check-in right from your Home Screen. The Today Score Widget gives you a live view of your overall progress for the day. See your total daily score across all Pacts, how many you've checked in, and which ones still need attention - all at a glance. DIVE DEEP INTO EACH PACT Tap on any Pact to explore its detailed view. This contains a full check-in history with a visual grid, a description of the habit you set up, the ability to backfill past check-ins, Rich analytics, including total check-ins, cumulative score, current and best streaks and a dynamic chart showing check-ins vs. score. You can filter this data by week, month, year, or lifetime. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS YOUR WAY The main home page lists all your Pacts, with two unique viewing modes: Expanded View (a GitHub-style grid showing months of check-ins at a glance) or Compact View (Focus only on the past week’s progress). Sort your habits by date added (latest or oldest) or alphabetically to keep your list organised. TODAY VIEW Stay focused with the Today View, a smart dashboard showing all Pacts and their scores for the current day. A total daily score calculated from your actions. It’s a fast, insightful way to reflect on your day with your habit tracker. --- Habit Tracker: Pact is the habit tracker designed for people who want insight, flexibility, and accountability — not just streaks. Track what matters, adjust as needed, and stay committed every day. Ready to build habits that last?

The apps that eat your day stay shut until you've earned them back. You pick which apps, and you set the three goals that open them. SET AT LEAST THREE. EARN YOUR APPS. Every morning, set three goals. Anything real: a walk, a chapter of a book, a phone call you've been putting off. Finish all three and the apps you chose open until midnight. Leave them, and the shield stays up. Add daily habits too, and they count towards the day. A BEDTIME FOR YOUR PHONE Pick a sleep window and a wind-down hour, and your apps shut themselves at the time you set. No goals to finish, nothing to decide at 11pm. Free, for everyone. FOCUS BLOCKS Start a timer, say what you're working on, and your apps stay shut until it ends. FRIENDS, NOT A FEED Pick a handle and add a few people. You'll see each other's daily goals, and how many days in a row you've each finished them. You both have to agree before either of you sees anything. No algorithm, no strangers, no feed. AN HONEST WAY OUT Need fifteen minutes rather than quitting cold? Lower the Shield, three times a day, on your own terms. Shield is a commitment device, not a cage. YOUR SCREEN TIME STAYS YOURS Shield runs on Apple's own Screen Time. Your app choices stay private even from us; Apple hands the app an anonymous token, never the names of the apps you picked. History shows you where your time actually went, and none of it leaves your phone. No ads, nothing sold. Shield is free and there are no in-app purchases. An account takes about twenty seconds, and is what keeps your goals and your friends when you change phones. Shield isn't a willpower app. It's a trade: do the things that matter, and earn back wasted time.
