Pavlok 2

Hi there! I'm Maneesh Sethi, the founder of Pavlok. Five years ago, I hired someone on Craigslist to follow me around, and slap me in the face when I got off task. I ended up writing 5 months of work in 5 days. I thought to myself --- "slapping doesn't scale -- but maybe a wearable dog zapper could!" So I decided to build Pavlok, a wearable device that uses vibration, beep, and zap to reward you for good habits and stop you from doing bad ones. We discovered that the zap was an EXTREMELY powerful tool to reduce cravings, stop bad habits, and wake people up early. In the last 18 months, we've rebuilt Pavlok from the ground up. Here are some of the big changes. 1) Way slimmer design with a bunch of accessories 2) Pavlok 2 *knows* when you do bad habits. We can track motions, gestures, online habits, and GPS. It can vibrate, beep, or zap to keep you aware and help train your habits. 3) Pavlok 2 has a bunch of sensations -- not just vibrate/beep/zap. Now you can send vibrating heart beats, or sine waves, or 8-bit music 4) Pavlok 2's remote control is way enhanced --- so you and your wife (or accountability partner) can communicate and send sensations to each other, and hold each other accountable 5) New 'App store interface' --- where you can unlock new apps, and developers can release their own too! like http://pavlok.com/zappybird and 6) Pavlok Rise is our newest app -- about forming *positive* habits. Focused on forming morning routines of the greats, like Einstein or Franklin (pavlok.com/rise) . I'm excited to announce this --- I believe Pavlok 2 will help change 100,000 habits in the next year. Thanks for being awesome :)

Pavlok is one of my favorite hardware startups. the shock alarm function is the best alarm clock that i've ever used: https://www.producthunt.com/post...

Gesture detection for nail biting would be a huge win!

AI coach + gesture detection sounds awesome. Finally it will know when I'm doing my habit, no more having to press the button myself!

Looks great! but a very confusing flow for preordering Pavlok 2. I gave up. How do I buy your product? I was lead to indiegogo and then back again. Please .. take my money 😄

@Frinkeldoodle wanted to post this comment but couldnt: "I hardly find it shocking that Pavlok 2 has found itself buzzing with activity enough to wind up on a website such as this, especially with the new surge of activity it seems to be receiving from the Indiegogo. I find the concept of apps being able to integrate programs with the Pavlok 2, along with gesture detection, a pretty electric concept, especially if executed right, and the videos displaying these new features feel charged with energy and emotion. I'm looking to get one, and hopefully it'll help give that jolt I've been needing to cut my overeating habits short, and electrify a desire to work out on my own."
