About
Battle Buddies turns your real-world healthy habits into a pixel-art RPG.
Your buddy earns XP when you actually do things: lift weights and your Strength climbs, go for a run and Endurance grows, read a book for Intelligence, meditate for Wisdom. Workouts, steps, stand time, mindful minutes, and sleep flow in automatically from Apple Health (with your permission) — and the honor-system quick log covers what sensors can't see, like reading or practicing a skill.
LEVEL UP FOR REAL
• Six classic RPG attributes mapped to real activity types
• Pick a class — Warrior, Ranger, Mage, or Monk — and the same habits build a different hero
• Daily streaks with a weekly rest-day shield: consistency beats bingeing
• Your buddy visually evolves through six tiers as you level
• Three daily quests and a weekly goal, rotating, paid on activity you were doing anyway
FIGHT YOUR WAY THROUGH A CAMPAIGN
• Five chapters, twenty hand-authored fights, a boss at the end of each
• Told by a narrator who very much did not ask for this assignment
• The wall between you and the next chapter is your stats — the way past it is real progress, not grinding
• Clear it and an endless ladder keeps generating floors for as long as you keep going
GEAR, BADGES, AND SPARKS
• Weapons, armor, and trinkets drop from wins, or roll from the sparks you earn
• Equipping sharpens your combat stats — capped, so effort always outweighs loot
• 21 lifetime badges, from a seven-day streak to clearing the whole campaign
• Hats, capes, and auras in the wardrobe, earned or bought
BRING YOUR BUDDIES
• Connect with friends through a simple invite link
• Nudge a buddy who's slacking (they can nudge you right back)
• Week-long duels: pick a stat, most XP wins
• Auto-battles: your buddies fight it out on the stats your habits built — deterministic, replayable, and verified on both phones
YOURS, PRIVATELY
• No account to create — everything syncs through your own iCloud
• Raw health data never leaves your device; buddies only ever see your character's stats, never your activities
• No ads, no analytics, no subscriptions, no server
APPLE WATCH
• Glanceable buddy, level, streak, and equipped gear on your wrist
• Quick-log buttons for reading, meditation, and more
Your habits are the grind. Your buddy is the proof.
