Thousands have transformed their lives with nox. Here are some of their stories.
"As an actor, nox has been a game-changer for me. I use it to set weekly pacts with myself for attending networking events, submitting for auditions, and creating new content every day. It's helped me land three recurring roles this year alone."
Nox Success Story
Abhilaksh & Prabhakar built nox because some of their best decisions came out of challenges with each other or other friends. Starting a company together was one of them - but so was going to South America for two months, joining a writer's workshop, taking dance lessons, & much more.

Everything you need to know about nox and how it works
You can use Nox to accomplish just about any goal or simply for fun.
You can create a pact to hold yourself and others accountable.
Examples include:
- Building or breaking habits: Enter a pact where you upload periodic evidence of doing something daily, like running 5 kilometers, or avoiding something, like cigarettes.
- Achieving big outcomes: For goals with deadlines, like moving to New York by year's end, upload evidence by the deadline to prove success.
- For fun: Get creative! One user made a pact where if their friend convinced a girl to hold his hand by the semester's end, they'd shave their head.
You can even use Nox to enforce bachelor party commitments.
You start by selecting a goal and deciding whether it's a solo pact, where only you are responsible for completing the goal, or a group pact, where multiple people are involved. In group pacts, you can choose different game modes—either collaborating, where everyone works towards the same goal, or competing, where you're trying to outperform each other for a prize. Every pact requires you to stake money or something else that you'll lose if you fail. You also define the type of evidence you'll provide and how often you'll submit it. All these rules create an ironclad contract that keeps you and your friends honest and accountable.
You appoint a friend or trusted third party as the verifier. They'll check if your evidence meets the pact's terms.
Verifiers can receive a percentage of the monetary stake as a tip for their role in the pact.
If you can't find a verifier, Abhilaksh or Prabhakar can step in as your verifiers. Simply nominate either of us—we're automatically added to everyone's Nox friends list. Pretty soon, AI will be available for verification, but for now, we require you to involve at least one other person for better accountability.
We currently accept video, photo, or audio evidence. You can define what's required based on the challenge.
We've defined "bond" as a type of proof, where you follow the honor code and provide written confirmation that you've kept your word so far. For example, if you've to check in with your verifier daily about a non-smoking pact, you will provide your word as "bond" in a text field, and the verifier will approve/deny it.
In a competitive pact, it goes to the winner of the pact you're in—the one who outperformed everyone else by meeting more deadlines or finishing the task before everybody else. In any other kind of pact, Nox takes your money.
Yes! You can stake non-monetary stakes like slaps, head shaves, or any creative consequences. While quantifiable stakes help, we leave the definition up to you.
Yes, you can track your progress, but pact terms can't be changed once the pact is active. There's a 48-hour pre-launch period where you can modify terms, provided all participants agree.
Yes, you can resign from a pact, but doing so will require you to forfeit the stake (money or something else) you fronted to be part of that pact.
Nox uses loss aversion, a clinically backed principle in behavioral science. When you stake something or turn a goal into a commitment device, you're more motivated to follow through.
Doing this offline requires lots of effort—tracking progress, holding money, managing disputes, and keeping records. Nox simplifies and enhances this process, making it fun and reliable.
Nox is inherently social and much more customizable than other apps. Nox is not just a productivity app; it's an app that enforces pacts to hold people accountable to all kinds of commitments they make to themselves and each other. It's more fun, flexible, and designed to handle real-life scenarios.
