QuitProof

For brains that bail at the first chance—force the next tiny concrete step

Problem
'Just start for five minutes' advice fails some people: even after starting they jump at the easiest excuse to quit, especially on job applications and writing tasks with no immediate feedback, creating a loop of procrastination and self-blame.
Solution
Break tasks into tiny executable actions and show only the current step during a timer; when a quit urge appears, log the reason and swap in an even smaller action; give immediate visible progress and positive feedback to prevent bailing on the whole task.
Users
People who start then immediately quit, repeatedly procrastinating on job hunts or writing
MVP
Minimal task breakdown; single-step focus timer; quit-reason logging with action shrinking; progress visualization and completion celebration
Revenue
Free basic, $4.99/mo for history analysis and custom breakdown templates
Why now
AI-generated content makes job hunting more anxiety-inducing, generic pomodoro apps miss the 'quit at first chance' niche; a solo mobile MVP is quick to build
