Community Over Competition
You're not doing this alone. Your Pact is your support system, not your scoreboard.
Why I Built FocusPact
I used to think I just needed more willpower. Then I found myself doomscrolling at the grocery checkout, thumb-deep in memes, while the cashier said ‘next.’ I nodded… and kept scrolling.
Blockers? Easy to override. Screen-time reports? Glanced, shrugged, scrolled. Detoxes? Lasted until the weekend.
What finally worked wasn’t tech, it was people. A group chat. Daily check-ins with friends who cared whether I kept my promise. That made the difference.
So I built FocusPact: a space where that kind of support isn’t accidental, but built into the design.
And that checkout line? Now when I catch myself reaching for my phone in moments like that, I think of my Pact, and put it back in my pocket.
Why Community Works
(When Everything Else Doesn't)
Most digital wellness tools are solo missions:
✗
Blockers fight apps, not habits.✗
Stats show the problem, not the fix.✗
Detoxes end, and the cycle begins again.FocusPact is different.
Yes, we give you blockers and streaks, but the real power is accountability.
You join friends (your Pact). You set intentions. You check in. You celebrate wins. You bounce back from slip-ups.
It’s like having a running club for your focus. Think Strava, but for screen time.
About the Founder
👋 I’m Michael Lee. I used to build products that captured attention, only to realize they were capturing mine too.
Even though I understood the systems, I still found myself stuck in the same loops. Scattered. Disconnected. Frustrated that I couldn’t break the habit.
FocusPact is my answer to that problem: a commitment to design technology that protects attention instead of hijacking it, and helps people feel more present in their lives.
Our Values
🔁
Progress Over Perfection
Yes, we have streaks, but they're not the point. Behavior change is. Some days you'll miss. That's okay. What matters is coming back.
🧘
Intention Over Restriction
We include blockers, but the goal isn't just to stop. It's to understand. Then build something better in its place.
🔐
Privacy Over Profit
Your check-ins, reflections, and screen data are yours. Always. We'll never sell or exploit your attention—we're here to help you protect it.
