About

PACT

Features
Read full description

PACT is a minimalist focus timer built on a single, uncompromising idea: a commitment you either keep or consciously break. ■ THE EXCEPTION SYSTEM: ZERO EXCUSES What makes PACT radically different is how it handles interruptions. You cannot simply pause the timer and walk away. Every break in focus forces a permanent choice: • Allow an Exception: You can pause, but your reason becomes a permanent rule for all future sessions. What you allow once, you must allow forever. Your exceptions define who you are as a focuser. • Break the Pact: Surrender entirely, and your accumulated chain instantly resets to zero. There is no neutral option. Over time, your exception rules build an honest, unforgiving record of how you actually work — not how you think you do. ■ DESIGNED FOR DEEP WORK • Pre-Commitment Buffer: Reserve a session in advance. A timed countdown gives you a moment to sit down, complete your start ritual, and mentally prepare before the timer locks in. • Visual Accountability: Every completed session adds an unbreakable link to your chain. Watch it grow. Protect it at all costs. ■ BUILT FOR PURE FOCUS PACT is intentionally minimal. • No social feeds. • No gamified streak animations. • No meaningless badges or rewards. Just you, your word, and the timer. ■ SEAMLESS EXPERIENCE • System-adaptive Light and Dark modes designed to blend into your workflow. • Fully localized in English, 中文 (Chinese), Français (French), and 日本語 (Japanese). PACT is for people who take their commitments seriously. Make the pact. Keep it.
