Task Reminder

I really like this app, especially because it doesn't have annoying pop ups or demands for your money. It's a gamified task organizer. I do wish we could earn more things to customize our character in some way. But, I really like it. It's cute, and I like being reminded of my Archetype and House.

Absolutely helpful!

This app has helped me so much after going through anxiety, and just getting older. I think it’s amazing that the modern Sam team is so compassionate about the work they do. Although I would like some more meditations this is great! Keep up the good work!

need chinese

need Chinese!

a beautiful work-in-progress

i adore this app. i find it very helpful! theres a few things that need to be done--the storyline changing with your house/archetype, the storyline's not yet done it would seem, bone chips and coins are useless or nigh useless, and a way to set reminders for tasks at specific times is missing. but all in all, the app is very good and helpful, and i appreciate all it does.

Simply in love, very motivating and cute

I love this app very much, I fell in love with it on the first try! I’ve been using it pretty much daily for reflection and the daily self care quests.
Something I learned just recently is to not be too strict with finishing all four quests daily, and retooling them the next day, it’s a lot more fun and less pressure that way

Still a Work in Progress

It’s a good concept and there are things I really like, but overall there’s just too much still missing.

Pros:
+ Daily side quests are a great way to add new goals and get some easy wins to build momentum.
+ Short, fantasy themed meditations and affirmations are unique and add immersion.
+ Feels more like an actual game than many other RPG style productivity apps

Cons:
- Story doesn’t tie into gameplay in any way
- No ability to have a custom day start time, so it’s a struggle to maintain streaks if you’re a night owl who checks in after midnight.
- Character are sound effects are always male, even if your avatar is female.
- Most importantly, there’s no real point to battling monsters. You collect cards that don’t do anything, and the gold and bone dust that you get has no use. I know more features are planned, but there’s not much motivation if nothing has any sense of purpose.

I WANT to love this app. I think the potential is there, and there are already some good features, but there’s still a long way to go before this app will be fully realized.

Really good

It's fun and helps me be more disciplined. Thanks for this great app.

Fantastic

The sound and images in the app are very appealing. Overall it has a very feel good vibe. I believe this app will make you a better person and also the world a better place!

Absolute game changer

I love it, truly! It gives me that little dopamine boost when I tick things off my own task list and I looove the town quests - always giving me something a little different or just outside my norm. Collecting the beasts is fun, and it makes me come back each day to find more. Can’t wait to see where this app goes in the future!!!!

A joy!

I’m terrible at writing reviews, but here we go:
I love this app. It has had such a positive impact on my life.
The daily quests help me bring some variation in my routines and make me step out of my comfort zone to try new things, or return to old ones I forgot about.
The meditations and affirmations are unlike any I had encountered before, they are soothing and empowering.
Would recommend!

Pretty good I guess

Amazingly Helpful

As my world gets busier it’s easy to be overwhelmed. But I can break down even the “simplest” task into 100 sub tasks if I need to and that makes it so much more manageable. I love the story, the meditations are wonderful and I enjoy the gaming aspect as well. It really is exactly what I needed to stay focused and on task. I don’t know how to thank Sam but he really has made life that much easier.

Coming back weeks later to say I’m still using and enjoying the app. It helps me keep track of specifics, while allowing me to view things as a broader perspective too. I’m always finding new ways to incorporate it and it has helped me start clearing clutter from my home as well as keep it cleaner in general.

The first planning app to ever help me!

I’ve tried a lot of habit trackers, journaling and reminder apps, and this is the first that’s ever actually worked! Others I gave up on in a day; this one I’ve stuck with for a month now. It’s helped me stay on top of my routines, encourages some healthy spontaneity, and really helps break down my goals into small tasks that feel a lot more manageable and each still rewarding! I told my therapist about it and he loves what it’s doing for me as well, great stuff even in its current early development. I’m excited to see what’s yet to come!

I’ve never left an app review before!

This app is literally life changing! I’m able to feel almost “normal” as some people who don’t have ADHD would say. I don’t feel pressured to complete tasks or get penalized for not doing them. Doing the little hunts is probably my favorite as I want to unlock all of the cards!! Thank you so much to the team who created this app! 💚

Can’t wait for more :)

I feel like this is a fairly new app, since there’s a lot of features that can be built on. This has a TON of potential and I can’t wait to see where it goes, because I already love what’s there! I especially love the spoken aspect of this app; I can tell a lot of work was put into the meditations, affirmations, episodes, and everything in general. I’m not at a place where I can monetarily support the app’s development, but I definitely would if I could. This is a really fantastic app and anyone that ends up reading this should give it a try!!

Thanks to the devs for the work that was put into this, and I hope to see more <3

Already amazing!

This app is already a masterpiece. I am paying for premium and the 1.0 release hasn’t even happed yet. Take the app for a spin and you’ll be hooked too!

Encouraging and fun

Great app! Helps you to take small actions, be it for your physial or mental health or towards your to-do list. Cosy vibes and a great story as well. Give it a go and see for yourself! 🥰

My ADHD brain is so thankful

I recently got diagnosed, really late in life (I’m 27). I just went out to look for some tools to help me manage my time. I stumbled upon this app and fell in love instantly. The daily quests motivate me to do things I often forget like make my bed or clean the kitchen. But also doing things that help me relax a little bit like playing video games or doing a puzzle. I have a lot of difficulty doing thing to chill out because i get this guilt I am not being productive but hey! That’s my quest for today so I can trick my brain into letting me enjoy my free time!
Also the story telling is amazing! The voice actors do such a great job! And the tent features with mindfulness and meditation to give my brain rest!
It’s such an amazing idea. You can feel this app is made with love to help people like me and not to scam u out of your money.
I cannot recommend it enough.
10/10
