TidyDoApp vs Pacts

TidyDo is a simple activity log for your tasks and ideas. Instead of complex project plans and constant notifications, it focuses on two things: what you need to do, and what you've done about it. Think of it as a paper notebook that stays organized. Jot down an item, then add an update each time you make progress. Over time, every task builds its own clear history. CAPTURE INSTANTLY • Add a task or idea in seconds • Get it out of your head and onto the page TRACK PROGRESS • Log updates and notes on any item • Look back at the full history of actions for each task STAY FOCUSED • No reminders, badges or nagging alerts • A clean, lightweight, distraction-free workflow TidyDo is made for people who prefer a paper-like system: write it down, follow it through, and see how far you've come.

Pacts is built on a simple idea: lasting change starts with identity, not just behavior. Before you track a single day, you define your Protocols — the personal rules that are non-negotiable for you. Then you set Goals — where you actually want to go. Then you make Pacts — specific daily commitments that build momentum through repetition. Protocols are the personal rules that shape everything else. Things like "I don't skip two days in a row" or "No phone after 9 PM." You write them in plain language; Pacts understands them automatically and applies them as real constraints — adjusting your schedule, surfacing reminders at the right moment, and warning you before a streak is at risk. Goals give your daily work direction. Link multiple pacts to a single goal to see how your commitments connect to your bigger picture. Active and inactive goals keep your focus clear without deleting the progress you've made. A Pact is a time-bound commitment. Pick how often you'll show up, how long the commitment runs, and when you'll check in. Check-ins are flexible — match your activity frequency, do a weekly reflection, or schedule a final review when your pact ends.
