Focus Pact vs PACT

Focus Pact Pro is a local-first focus and digital wellness app designed to help you interrupt distraction before it becomes automatic. Build scheduled rules for selected apps, categories, and websites using Apple’s Screen Time frameworks. Choose between Ghost Mode for lighter friction and Guard Mode for stricter intervention, confirm continue actions inside the app, and let today’s rule resume automatically after the delay window. Focus Pact Pro also keeps a local credit score, review summaries, and emergency unlock records so you can understand the real cost of distraction and recover with cleaner days over time. The current version does not require an online account, does not provide cloud sync, and does not upload your Screen Time history or personal content to developer-operated servers.

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.
