ScreenPact locks the apps that steal your time, and hands the key to someone you trust. Whether that’s a friend keeping you focused or a parent managing their kid’s screen time, Pact turns app limits into something that actually holds. Screen time tools fail for one reason: the person setting the limit is the person breaking it. You snooze your own restrictions. Your kid finds the workaround in a day. Pact fixes this by putting the lock in someone else’s hands. No 3am override, no “just five more minutes” - access comes back when your partner says it does. MADE FOR • STUDENTS — Lock social media during finals. Your study partner decides when you’ve earned a break. • FRIENDS — Keep each other off scrolling and on track. Mutual pacts mean you’re both in it together. • PARENTS — Manage your kids’ app access remotely, without the nightly negotiation over the iPad. • COUPLES — Stage the social media intervention your partner clearly needs. With love. FEATURES • Lock and unlock your partner’s selected apps, any time, from anywhere • Mutual pacts: lock each other’s apps for shared goals • Scheduled locks for study sessions, work hours, or bedtime • Unlock requests: plead your case, let your partner decide • Streaks and stats to see how far you’ve come Your time is the most valuable thing you own. Stop giving it away one scroll at a time. Make a Pact.
