The ceiling
Your best week.
Three hours of writing a day, five workouts, inbox at zero. Fun to plan, impossible to promise.
TinyPact · A HourLife mini app
The floor you hold every week.
A ceiling is your best week. A floor is the minimum you will honour when the week is hostile.
Name up to three chapters of your life, set a weekly baseline for each, and log what actually happened. Every Sunday the week seals — and Monday starts clean.

The problem with streaks
A record that lies about you is a record you stop keeping.
Miss three days to a stomach bug and a habit tracker sets the number to zero. Nothing about that week was a failure, but the app said otherwise — so you deleted it. TinyPact starts from that irritation.
The floor
The minimum you will honour.
Not because you are motivated. Because you decided, once, when you were thinking clearly.
The word we chose
Drift, not failure.
A boat drifts because of a current. The useful question is which way it runs, not whose fault it is.
How it works
Four moves, and one of them is on Sunday.
01 · Choose
Up to three chapters.
Health. Craft. Career. Whatever yours are. Each one gets a baseline in the unit that fits it — a count, a duration, or a milestone you either reached or didn't. Three is a limit, not a suggestion: five turned the whole thing back into a to-do list.
02 · Log
What happened, not why not.
Logging takes about as long as unlocking your phone. The app tells you where the week stands — Advanced, Partial, or Drift — and never asks you to justify the answer.
Advanced
You cleared the floor.
Partial
Some of it held.
Drift
The current moved you.
03 · Calibrate
Sunday, about five minutes.
Calibration seals the week. It shows what you finished, names the chapter that drifted most, and asks one question: what did this week teach you? Then the week locks — a sealed week cannot be edited, not by you, not by a settings toggle, not by us.
The other half of that rule is the generous one. At midnight the slate clears. No debt carried into Monday, no chain to protect, no compounding guilt from a rough February.
Drift is data, not failure. Each week stands alone.
04 · Wait
The part that only works with time.
Most of what TinyPact does is invisible in the first month. It is a record-keeping app, and records need time before they say anything.
Monthly review
Stability per chapter, and one sentence: I am becoming someone who…
Season review
Thirteen weeks, three chapters, four states, and no commentary at all.
History
Every week you kept, in the order you kept it.
The rhythm
Four timescales, one record.
Each layer asks a slightly larger question than the one below it, and none of them grade you.
Every week
Calibration
Seal what happened and set one intention for the week ahead.
Every month
Stability
How much of each floor held, and whether the chapter is expanding, holding, or contracting.
Every quarter
The season
Thirteen weeks drawn across every chapter, colour-coded, uncommented.
Every year
Ledger ceremony
A full accounting: one sentence per chapter about what the year taught you.
Export
An export that assumes you already have an AI.
Every summary — weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly — exports as structured Markdown, with your life goal and chapter purposes included in the text.
That last part matters. Consistency data alone can only say whether you showed up. Consistency data plus the reason you set the floor can be pasted into any assistant with a question no tracker has ever answered.
Am I actually moving toward what I said mattered?
We did not build a coach into the app. There is already a very good one on your other screen, and it does not need to live inside a weekly ritual to be useful.
What it refuses to do
The shorter list is the honest description.
- No streaks, and no counter that resets
- No daily notifications telling you to hustle
- No badges, confetti, points, or leaderboards
- No social feed, no friends, no sharing your floor with anyone
- No subscription
Private by default
No account. No server of ours.
TinyPact syncs across your devices through your own iCloud account, so the record follows you without a signup, a password, or a table of ours holding your life.
- Sync
- iCloud, across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
- Sign-in
- None. There is nothing to create.
- Your data
- Exportable as Markdown, any time.
- Platforms
- iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Version 1.0 · July 2026
Small on purpose, and staying that way.
The launch story covers what we built, what we took out, and what the roadmap is deliberately resisting.
The other layer
Growth needs a horizon as well as a floor.
HourLife runs the whole shape of a life. TinyPact protects the smallest commitment you refuse to lose.
