Friend Activity Notifications
When a friend completes their challenge, you get a notification. It's a simple social trigger: seeing that your friends are showing up makes you want to show up too. This is the core accountability loop that makes Daily Pact different from solo habit trackers — you're not checking in for an app, you're checking in for people you care about.
Daily Reminders
Haven't checked in today? Daily Pact sends a gentle reminder before the day ends. The timing is smart — it won't wake you up at 6am, but it will nudge you before midnight so you don't accidentally break a streak. You can customize reminder timing in your notification settings.
Streak Protection Alerts
When your streak is at risk — maybe you missed yesterday and today is your last chance — you'll get a heads-up. Combined with PactPause, alerts ensure you never lose a long streak to a genuinely busy day. The notification gives you a chance to either check in or activate PactPause before the window closes.
Group Invites & Milestones
Get notified when someone invites you to a new group, when a new challenge starts, or when you hit an achievement milestone. These celebratory notifications keep the experience positive — it's not just reminders, it's recognition.
Fully Customizable
Not everyone wants the same level of notification. Daily Pact lets you toggle each notification type independently — friend activity, daily reminders, streak alerts, and milestone celebrations. Keep what motivates you, turn off what doesn't. The goal is accountability without notification fatigue.
Why Notifications Matter for Habit Building
Habits need cues to form. Research on habit loops (cue → routine → reward) shows that external triggers significantly increase follow-through during the first 30–60 days of building a new habit. Push notifications serve as that external cue — especially when they come from friends rather than a generic app timer. Seeing “Sarah just checked in on Morning Run” is far more motivating than “Time to track your habit!”
