Pact
Reduce Screen Time Together, Not Alone
App bekommt ihr über WhatsAppWhat is Pact?
Pact is the first app where people share a common screen time limit. When one group member exceeds the limit, the selected apps are blocked for everyone. For more focus, real free time, and less digital distraction.
In the digital world, people spend several hours a day in front of screens: for work, school, or entertainment. While technology brings many benefits, excessive screen time has been proven to have negative consequences: concentration problems, sleep disorders, social isolation, and increased addictive behavior.
How It Works

Create a group or join an existing one with friends or family
Set Limits
Define a shared time pool and select which apps to limit
Share Time
When anyone uses a limited app, time is deducted from the shared pool
Stay Accountable
When the limit is reached, apps are blocked for everyone
The Power of Social Motivation
Sharing and comparing screen times with others, as well as pursuing a common goal together, has proven to be particularly effective in our concept study. Some participants even managed to permanently banish apps from their daily lives.
Additionally, your group can define a "promise" or challenge: whoever uses the most time or exceeds the limit treats the others to ice cream!
"The motivation of having agreed on a limit with others worked better than any app blocker that can be uninstalled with a simple click."
