Core Philosophy
Pretext was built for people tired of productivity theater. You do not need another app cheering you on. You need a mirror that calls the pattern clearly and calmly.
Mochi has opinions
Six moods. Zero filter. Your mascot reacts to your decisions with mild disbelief and on-device AI commentary.



What you get
A daily confession board for the tasks you keep dodging. Check off what you actually did. Get a compliance score. No gold stars.
Log what you avoided and why. Pretext reflects it back in one of six tones — from gentle to devastatingly deadpan.
End-of-day card deck. Swipe through what you skipped. Faced it or avoided again. No judgment. Mostly.
Heatmap calendar, weekly delay receipts, monthly reports. Spot your avoidance loops before they spot you.
21 days of actually doing the thing? It graduates to the Hall of Mild Improvement. Relapse button included.
No accounts, no trackers, no cloud sync. Your avoidance history stays on-device. We do not want your data.
