Detoxify vs Patook

Kick addiction while tracking it! And in the future - replace it entirely!

Detoxify is an app that lets you track a detox, and how much money and time you're saving by kicking a bad habit. Our future goal is to replace the hours you'd have spent on an overindulgent activity (say 10 hours of video games) with better activities (5 hours of kayaking, 3 hours of spa treatments, 2 hours of Lego) using partnered companies!

Beacon-based Friend Making and Community App

Patook is about meeting the people who are near you and who share similar interests, as well as connecting local communities together.

It is based around the concept of beacons. Users create beacons and everyone within those beacons can interact with everyone else. Beacons can be as wide as cities (e.g. the Seattle beacon) or as narrow as a small library. Discussions posted on beacons can be upvoted and the most popular discussions are shown higher.

Patook is foremost a friendship making service and nearly all interactions within the site are tailored towards making users get to know the people around them better while remaining safe. This includes a powerful point system which allows users to assign points to other user traits (for example, if they play the piano or like to ski).
