Pact Pace: Habits with Friends

Pact Pace is a social accountability app for building habits with friends. Willpower runs out somewhere around day nine. A friend who is waiting on you does not. A pact is an agreement between two or more people to do the same thing on a schedule, with proof: you pick the habit, the days, and how a check-in gets verified. Everyone in the pact sees the same streak, and it only grows if all of you keep up your end.

Why Pact Pace?
• A real accountability partner: track goals with friends, not just yourself.
• Verified check-ins: saying "done" isn't enough. Prove it with a photo, location, or timer.
• Joker system: a bad day doesn't have to break your streak. Spend one of your limited jokers and keep it alive.
• Encrypted check-in photos: your photos are encrypted on your device before they are uploaded, and they stay encrypted in storage.
• Works offline: check in without internet, and everything syncs automatically once you're back online.

6 Check-in Types
Standard: confirm with a single tap.
Photo: instant camera proof (no gallery uploads, no faking it).
Location: GPS verifies you're actually at the target spot (gym, library, office...).
Timed: a focus timer that cancels if you leave the app.
Amount: track cumulative progress like water, pages, or kilometers toward a period goal.
Sports: workouts synced straight from your health app.
