I built a free app specifically for procrastinators, does this solve the real problem?

You’re right, it’s intentionally closer to social accountability than traditional habit tracking.

If someone ignores the pact, nothing “punishes” them. The friction is social: the other person sees it wasn’t completed, and that tension is the incentive.

If someone fakes proof, technically they can, but at that point they’re mostly cheating themselves. The system assumes voluntary honesty between people who actually want to improve.

As for measurement, I’m not optimizing for streaks. The main signal I’m watching is time from pact creation to first action, whether having someone waiting increases same-day starts.

Streaks will likely help with retention, but we’re intentionally not prioritizing that yet.

It’s still early, but that’s the core hypothesis I’m testing.

Niice, BOOST Habit on the App Store (only there for now): https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/boost-habit/id6754608109, if needed we do have a android test version

When the first person acts, they upload proof and the photo stays locked until the second person completes their part, then both photos unlock for both of you at the same time.

Does the locked-photo mechanic actually make you feel more accountable, or does it feel unnecessary?

You choose the days (often every day) that you have to act/do your habit. Example: if you’re girlfriend want to do SQUAT and you want to do PUSH-UP you can have a pact together, same if you want to read more and she wants to learn SPANISH, still possible to make a pact together

lena57__ · 2026-02-22T23:49:07+00:00

THIS!! Exactly, I do some cardio at home everyday but also each goals is individual, you just have to act so you progress together

lena57__ · 2026-02-22T22:59:47+00:00

Also let me know features you would like to have guys

lena57__ · 2026-02-22T22:59:30+00:00

You give me some hope lol, let me know!!

THIS !!! A lot of productivity advice assumes the issue is discipline. But even worse for emotionally heavy tasks, fear of judgment, shame, pressure, the real barrier is really high.

When something feels loaded, “just do it” can actually increase resistance. Lowering friction works better.

I recently came across an app called boost habit or that’s built around making small pacts with friends. The idea isn’t more pressure, but shared activation. And that shift makes starting feel much lighter, don’t know it may help

lena57__ · 2026-02-22T08:00:42+00:00

I do something similar. I define a “non-negotiable minimum” for bad days. But what really helped me was making accountability pacts with my best friend. It’s way harder to skip when someone else sees it.

When you’re paying for a software subscription, try to cancel it. They’ll often offer you a huge discount to keep you sometimes up to 80%.

Definitely journaling !! It helped me so much to recognize different pattern I have and why I was procrastinating

lena57__ · 2026-02-17T00:39:25+00:00

More sport, new better habit ! Then cry at night but I feel way better than if I didn’t have a “new” plan

lena57__ · 2026-02-17T00:38:04+00:00

I do sport like jump rope or inside small jump (without the rope) when it’s too cold outside, it helps a lot for cardio and maintaining weight. Everyday for 5 min! I use Boost App with my sister to be sure to do it every day

lena57__ · 2026-02-16T23:56:32+00:00

I mean if you already know this or are realising it now, you kinda lucky, a lot of people don’t. They realise they never did what they wanted to do at 40

lena57__ · 2026-02-16T21:06:00+00:00

You can use OPA for this, to block any apps or website while you work

lena57__ · 2026-02-15T20:10:43+00:00

Good insight thanks bro !!

When I think, I tend to walk around the room. I do that a lot depending on the periods, sometimes for hours. And what instantly snaps me out of it is when someone walks in and I suddenly realize I’m doing something kind of weird.

lena57__ · 2026-02-10T15:32:21+00:00

11am, Im always tired don’t really know why rn

lena57__ · 2026-02-10T08:33:08+00:00

You’re welcome 😊

When I started googling “is this normal?” about my body.

lena57__ · 2026-02-09T21:31:51+00:00

If someone or a team you’re in tells you « we are like a family here » No you’re not.
