Protection pact
Streak pact
As long as one of you reviews, your streak holds. Couples, buddies, brothers-in-arms.

- Christian couples, accountability partners
- Players

- Pace
- Asynchronous
The streak pact is an agreement between two AgapePlay users with a simple promise: as long as at least one of you reviews their verses during the day, the streak doesn’t break. Your partner carried you yesterday? Your turn today. Life falls apart one day? The other holds.
It’s one of the most powerful long-term engagement mechanics in the app, designed specifically for two-person relationships where individual spiritual discipline always wobbles.
How the pact works
- From
/collaborative-streak, search your partner’s username and send a pact invitation. - They accept. Your shared streak starts at zero.
- Each day UTC, the system checks: “Did at least one of the two review today?” If yes, streak +1. If no, it resets to zero.
- A dashboard counter shows your shared streak + who reviewed today (the shield emoji lights up when you’ve “protected” the pact).
Who it’s for
This mode exists because the creators noticed a pattern: Christians who maintain long-term biblical discipline rarely do it alone. It’s always a spouse, a mentor, a prayer breakfast buddy. The streak pact digitizes that link.
- Christian couples who want the Bible to be part of their shared life, without it becoming a chore
- Mentors / disciples in formal accompaniment
- Close friends who’ve taken each other as accountability partners
Why not a solo streak
AgapePlay also has a classic solo streak, visible on the dashboard. It works. But behavioral psychology is clear: a habit supported by a relationship lasts 3 to 5 times longer than an individual habit. The streak pact capitalizes on this — and adds grace: a day when you’re drained, your partner shields you. No guilt, no painful reset.
The grace loop
One important detail: when your partner saved the streak, you get a small notification “Marie protected your streak today 🛡️”. This creates a subtle mutual-attention loop — you want to return the favor, without the system demanding it explicitly.
FAQ
How many pacts can I have at once? Just one. The streak pact is designed as exclusive — to change partners, end the current pact first.
What if we end the pact? The shared streak resets. Each partner keeps their solo streak. You can sign a new pact the next day without penalty.
Is this subscriber-only? The first pact is free. Multiple successive pacts require a Disciple subscription to prevent abuse (creating dozens of pacts to farm badges).
