A pact for two (or the whole family)
Make a phone-free pact with someone you love
Pick your rules and add your names. You get a pact card to save and a link your partner opens to co-sign it. It's much easier to keep a promise when someone else made it too.
FocusPass: App Blocker
FocusPass blocks the apps you choose, and you request a short, timed Pass when you actually need one. It's the easiest way to keep the pact when your thumb forgets.
Free on the App StoreWhy a pact beats a resolution
A resolution is a promise to yourself, and those are easy to renegotiate at 11 pm. A pact is shared: someone else knows the rules, and keeping them protects time you spend together. Start small with one or two rules. Add more once they stick.
Questions
- What is a phone-free pact?
- A short, shared agreement about phone use, like no phones at dinner or phones charging outside the bedroom, made and signed by two or more people.
- What are good phone rules for couples?
- Start with one or two: no phones at the dinner table, no scrolling while you're talking, and phones charging outside the bedroom.
- How does the co-sign link work?
- Your pact is packed into the link itself. Your partner opens it, reads the rules and taps Co-sign to finish the card. Nothing is stored on a server.
- Can families use it?
- Yes. Put 'the Lee family' (or any name) as the second signer, and print the card for the fridge.
