Pact - The Psychology of Self-Commitment Pact is a behavioral psychology tool that uses self-binding contracts and real consequences to build lasting focus habits. Based on principles of loss aversion and commitment devices from behavioral economics. The Science Behind Pact: Research shows that people are more likely to follow through on commitments when: - They face tangible consequences for breaking them - They must explicitly acknowledge failure (not just "give up") - The commitment is formalized through a ritual Pact applies these principles through a unique contract-based system. How It Works: 1. Sign a Self-Contract - Define your focus goal, duration, and the consequence you'll face if you break it 2. The Contract is Binding - Once signed, there's no "pause" or "cancel" - only completion or breach 3. "I Choose to Breach" - If you must quit, you explicitly acknowledge your choice through a deliberate process 4. Face Your Consequence - Complete a physical activity (stretching, squats, walking) or lose points What Makes Pact Different: Physical Consequence System Unlike apps that just track time, Pact requires you to complete real activities when you breach: - 10 minutes of stretching - 20 squats - 5-minute desk cleanup - 5 minutes of deep breathing - 10-minute walk The "I Choose to Breach" Mechanic This isn't a hidden exit button. It's prominently displayed to create psychological friction - making you consciously acknowledge that you're breaking your commitment to yourself. Tolerance Cards Earn Focus Points by completing contracts. Spend 50 points on a Tolerance Card for emergency situations - a balanced escape valve that maintains the system's integrity. Streak Psychology Build consecutive completion days. Watch your streak grow. Feel the weight of potentially breaking it. This leverages our natural loss aversion to strengthen commitment. Core Features: - Self-binding contracts with customizable durations (5 min - 2 hours) - Dual penalty system: physical activities OR point deductions - Focus Points economy with daily bonuses - Streak tracking with bonus rewards - Tolerance Card system for emergencies - Complete contract history - Daily reminder notifications - 100% offline - all data stays on your device Who Benefits: - Anyone who needs external accountability structures - People who respond better to consequences than rewards - Those seeking to build long-term focus habits through behavioral conditioning - Users who want privacy-first productivity tools Privacy Commitment: - Zero data collection - No accounts or sign-ups - Works entirely offline - No analytics or tracking Pact isn't about counting minutes. It's about building the psychological muscle of keeping commitments to yourself.
