TinyPact vs Ariv

Most productivity apps track what you do. TinyPact tracks who you're becoming. You set a floor - the minimum you'll honor in the areas of life that matter most. Not a goal to chase. Not a streak to protect. A baseline that holds even when the week is hard, travel interrupts, or motivation disappears entirely. Every week, you either held your floor or you didn't. TinyPact keeps the record. --- HOW IT WORKS You define up to three Chapters - the areas of life you're committed to. Health. Creative work. Connection. Whatever matters to you. For each Chapter, you set a baseline. Not an aspiration - a floor. The minimum that counts as showing up. Every day, you log what happened. Numbers, sessions, minutes, milestones. The app tracks your state: Advanced, Partial, or Drift. Every Sunday, you Calibrate. A short weekly ritual that closes the week, reviews the pattern, and sets your intention for the week ahead. Every month, you Review. Every quarter, a Season Review. Once a year, the Ledger Ceremony - a complete accounting of who you were this year and who you're becoming next year. --- WHAT MAKES TINYPACT DIFFERENT No streaks. Streaks punish real life. TinyPact tracks your floor, not your perfection. A Drift week is data, not failure. No daily reminders to hustle. The app respects your attention. It's there when you need it. No purchase, ever. TinyPact is free in full - every feature, from the first launch. Your data stays yours - exportable to Markdown anytime, readable forever. A pattern engine that notices what you can't. After several weeks, TinyPact begins to surface observations about your behavior - not prescriptions, just patterns. You decide what to do with them. AI-ready exports. Every weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly summary exports in structured Markdown with your life goal and chapter purposes embedded. Paste it into any AI and ask whether you're actually moving toward what matters - not just whether you're being consistent. --- THE RECORD THAT LASTS TinyPact keeps a 52-week integrity map for every Chapter - a full year of weeks, visible at a glance. Advanced, Partial, Drift. The honest picture of how you actually showed up. Every note you log. Every week you sealed. Every month reviewed and every quarter assessed. The history page is a faithful ledger of your life as it actually happened - not as you intended it. Sealed weeks cannot be edited. The record is the record. --- FREE. ALL OF IT. The daily loop, the Sunday Calibration, the pattern engine, the 52-week integrity map, and your complete history. The Monthly Calibration review, the Quarterly Season Review, the Yearly Ledger Ceremony, Markdown export, and iCloud sync across your devices. No purchase. No subscription. No account. Nothing is held back. --- FOR THE PERSON WHO IS DONE WITH MOTIVATION TinyPact is not for people looking for inspiration. It's for people who have decided. You know what matters. You've known for a while. What you need is a system that holds the commitment when the feeling is gone - and a record that shows you, over time, that you showed up more than you thought you did. Free, with no subscription. Your floor, your record, your life.
