Pavlok

Pavlok is a wearable device designed to help people break bad habits and form good ones. With aversion technology, Pavlok tries to link behaviors you don't want to a mild but unpleasant electrical shock, a mechanism that Pavlok says can help you change your ways.

The device is linked to a mobile app that tracks sleep and daily activity. With a data view into your life, you can see what's going on and try to make changes to your behavior. Pavlok also has haptic feedback mechanisms, accelerometers and the ability to link to services like IFTTT and Zapier to automate other actions.

One of Pavlok's big features is waking you up at the best time so you're refreshed and energized in the morning. The Silent Alarm Clock feature uses a gentle vibration or electric shock to wake you up, a more effective alternative to ringing alarm clocks.

Pavlok can be used in a variety of ways to help people:

• Wake up at the same time every day
• Quit smoking and overeating
• Increase exercise
• Boost productivity
• Cut time spent on social media

Pavlok devices start at $169.99 for the Pavlok 3 Pro model. There are also subscription options, like Pavlok Plus, which offers features like custom habit tracking and app widgets for $4.99 per month. The Pavlok community offers support and motivation to help people reach their goals, so it's a full package for people trying to make lasting changes to their lives.
