Arete - Life RPG & Habits

You are the protagonist. Your life has a character sheet. Arete is a life RPG for adults: six real stats — Body, Vitality, Mind, Spirit, Presence, Discipline — drawn as a radar that grows from what you actually do. Complete daily quests, earn XP, level up. No avatar, no fantasy gold. The character is you. THE CHARACTER SHEET One glance answers everything: your level, your streak, today's quests, and the shape of your six stats. When you create your character you sketch who you think you are — the dashed Ghost on the radar. Then your earned self chases it, day by day. DAILY QUESTS, REAL XP Every completion is a vote for the person you're becoming. Tap the seal when a quest is done — the ink fills, XP lands, the radar moves. Harder practices earn more, and steady weeks build visible momentum. Give a quest your why, log a number with each completion, and watch the line draw itself. THE JOURNEY An append-only ledger of your days: the XP earned, the stats touched, the shape of each day in ink. Your history is never rewritten — the ledger never forgets a vote. A LIBRARY OF PRACTICES Adopt a routine in one tap: Better Mornings, Deeper Focus, Stronger Body, Calmer Mind, The Quiet Quit and more — or author your own. Routines bundle quests that belong together. THE CAMPFIRE On Sunday, close the week by the fire: three quiet minutes, the week's XP stat by stat, one honest line in your own words. The flame burns brighter the more days you showed up — and it never goes out. BUILT ON MERCY A hard week never empties your radar. Streaks can be patched with repair tokens earned by showing up. Coming back after time away opens a doorway, never a debt. Mercy is never paywalled. QUIET BY DESIGN Warm paper, ink, and a single ember accent. Notifications are few, always about today, and go quiet when you step away. No red badges, no shame mechanics, no appearance scoring — ever. ARETE PREMIUM The core loop — quests, XP, the radar, streaks, the Campfire, Seasons — is free forever. Premium adds unlimited active quests, quests that verify themselves through HealthKit (sleep, hydration, workouts), real wake-up alarms, every pack and composite routine in the Library, full history and trends, and clean Character Card exports. Start with a free week. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account required, no ads. Your data lives in your private iCloud. Raw health samples are read, evaluated, and discarded — never stored.
