SCHEDULES THAT RUN THEMSELVES Ready made routines like Sleep mode, Work hours, Deep work, and Study session block the right apps at the right times, every day, without you lifting a finger.

Scroll Less. Achieve More. pact puts a wall of deliberate friction in front of the apps that eat your day. You keep the apps. You just stop losing hours to them. HOW IT WORKS Open a restricted app and pact stops you first. It asks how long you actually plan to use it, starts a countdown, then locks the app the moment your time runs out. No willpower needed — just one decision, made before the scrolling starts. SESSION LIMITS • Set an intention before every single session • Apps lock themselves when your timer ends • A cool-down keeps them locked afterwards • Daily unlock budgets that reset at midnight HARD MODE Switch off early unlocks completely. With Hard Mode on there is no "just five more minutes" — you commit once, and pact holds the line for you. SCHEDULES Block distracting apps during the hours that matter. Start with Morning Clarity, Deep Focus and Good Night's Rest, or build your own windows on the days you choose. APP LIMITS Give every app a daily time budget — 30 minutes for social, an hour for video. Everything resets at midnight, automatically. STREAKS & INSIGHTS Watch your unlocks fall week after week. Build a day streak for every day you finish under your goal, and see exactly where your time went. PRIVATE BY DESIGN pact is built on Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) framework. Your app usage is analysed on your device and never leaves it. No account to create, no tracking, no data sold to anyone. WHY PEOPLE USE PACT • Take back your mornings instead of scrolling in bed • Stay in deep work without reaching for your phone • Break the late-night scroll and actually sleep • Cut social media right down without deleting a single app The average person checks their phone more than 150 times a day, and needs 23 minutes to refocus after every interruption. pact gives that time back to you. Download pact and start your first focused day. PACT PREMIUM Unlimited restricted apps, schedules, app limits, Hard Mode, streaks and weekly insights.
