Your life as an RPG
Habitica ranks #3 of 7 in Habit trackers, with an Alt Score of 75. It is licensed under GPL-3.0, freemium from $5.00 USD/month and available on iOS, Android and Web. 9 of 9 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
People who want to build habits or stick to routines and are motivated by game mechanics rather than plain checklists or reminders.
An RPG-style avatar that gains experience, gold, and equipment as you complete real tasks, and loses health when you skip them. Tasks are organized into three types: Habits (repeatable actions with plus/minus buttons), Dailies (recurring tasks tied to specific days), and To-Dos (one-off tasks with due dates). Gold earned can buy gear, pets, mounts, and custom rewards you define yourself. Optional social features let you join parties and guilds, take on quests with boss battles or collection goals, and hold each other accountable.
You add your real-life habits, dailies, and to-dos to the app, then check them off (or mark them undone) as you act; completions and misses adjust your character's XP, gold, and HP accordingly. Progress unlocks levels, class skills, and items, while failing tasks damages your avatar and can affect party members during group quests.
