Satisfying Dopamine Hit
This works for my brain. I recently gave birth and was looking for something to gamify my weight loss goals to help keep me focused and off of other apps. This one is great because I can set my rewards to be whatever I want (in my case, treats that I don’t want to consume too often while losing weight, and new clothes to celebrate the weight I do lose).
The haptics and random points when you complete a task make it extra satisfying.
One thing that’s underrated about it is that you aren’t “punished” for breaking a streak. Streaks can increase your chances of higher point payouts, but you still have a chance and will still get plenty of points if you don’t succeed every day. Most actual games build up so much extra stuff from streaks that when you break it, it’s demoralizing, and I tend to just give up for a bit. And then when I try to track my own habits by paper, the streak is the only thing that makes it exciting. This app makes it possible for me to be proud of and reward myself for keeping at it and trying, even if I have a bad day.
I recently upgraded to pro because I wanted to create one time tasks and have more habits and rewards at a time. I did the lifetime license because I hate subscriptions, and I feel confident that I’ll use this for longer than a year.

Congratulations on the new arrival! 🙏 Really glad the app is clicking for you right now. The streak thing is something I thought hard about, so it's great to hear it actually lands the way it's supposed to. And yeah, those little dopamine hits are very much intentional!
Great app
Very straight forward to set up. Keeps me accountable in building good habits and getting rid of bad ones. Love that it is goal oriented 💪🏽
Response from developer
Love to hear it! Accountability is really the core of what the app is built around, so this is great to read. Thank you!
Surprisingly Good
I was honestly suspicious when I first saw this app. I wasn’t sure about the single rating being five star, and having the random point system was kind of odd, but now that I have messed around in the app a little, I like it! I appreciate that the premium purchase is 1 time only $5, especially with other apps like this being crazy expensive for a few new features. I also love the support. The other review’s feedback got incorporated really quickly and when I sent feedback I got a response within 20 minutes that I felt actually cared about my feedback. The setup is pretty intuitive, simple, and it doesn’t unnecessarily overcomplicate things to make the app seem better than it is, so I feel like I am getting EXACTLY what I downloaded the app for! I am honestly so excited to see where this app goes, since I can definitely see the growth potential. 😊

Thank you for your kind words and for this detailed review. I am glad the point system grew on you, it what makes it exciting instead of repetitive!
Solid, simple
Great app that is almost exactly what I was looking for. It would be perfect if you were able to disable the gamification components (random point drops, streaks, etc) and just use custom point amounts for tasks. Could even be a per task thing - don’t enable bonuses for streaks/random drops.
