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
