Hello Monke. Right now, I'm sure you have big goals, but find that doing the daily habits to achieve them is incredibly difficult. This is how it is for monke too. And that is why he created this app. To make doing those habits easier, more consistently, and to have more fun when doing them. At the start of any goal, it's almost like you're lost at sea. And that is how you start off in the Monke world. On a small island, all alone. But as you show up daily, completing small habits towards your goals, and completing focus sessions, you earn bananas and have the chance of unlocking other monke characters to join you on your journey. With those bananas you can buy trees, tents, campfires and even pirate ships. You can also build new islands, and create a world that makes you want to keep coming back. The more you do, the more fun your world becomes, and monke hopes that this will keep you coming back to complete your habits more and more. Monke thinks that this is the perfect app for any monke who struggles with staying consistent with their habits, or finds it hard to know what to do with their lives. So Monke wants to welcome you to try it out. All features require a paid subscription or one-time Lifetime purchase: Live Activity: See your focus timer progress when your phone is locked. Decorations: Lots of items to decorate your world with. Characters: Different unlockable monke characters of varying rarity. Editable World: Make your world exactly as you want it.

I started a business in high school that aims to help people improve their finances and make their money work harder for them, which as of late has been harder and harder to keep consistent with as challenges pile up. As someone who’s built custom tools like this to help my own workflow I love the design of monke app, but would love to see some more habit options that could be applicable to people with less guidelines and safety nets in their life like me, since it’s that lack of redundancy and having to forge one’s own path that scares me the most on a day to day basis. Keep it up bro, alive internet theory is real. ### 5/5 — Effective monke. *2026-08-11* It’s drastically detox my dopamine. I am not for focus monke and enjoying i life revelation on edge. Ps…. Not paid comment ### 5/5 — GREAT FOR CHANGING YOUR LIFE *2026-08-09, version 1.4.8* I’ve used this app for 5 months and it’s genuinely made me a better person. ### 5/5 — This app *2026-08-03* I love it and I hope it changes me into a better person I am a bit annoyed that at the start you can only choose up to 3 ### 5/5 — Monke *2026-08-02* I love monke ### 2/5 — Good with limited access *2026-08-02* Genuinely seems like a good way to motivate people but locked behind a paywall which could be prevent with just implementing ads ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2026-08-01, version 1.4.7* If you have a free app it should be free and not under a paywall I seen the app recommended in the videos and was really hoping to try it out to help me but it’s blocked by a paywall and that is ridiculous ## Frequently asked questions about Monke ### What does Monke - Habit Game do?

Lot's of new things in the Monke app. Goals and voyages have been removed Goals, the boats that sailed to them and the Goals tab are gone. They were far too buggy - they'll be rebuilt properly in the future. Breaks for focus sessions You can now take a proper break between focus sessions. Monke reminds you when it's time to get back to work, so a five minute breather doesn't turn into an hour of scrolling. Better app blocking for habits App blocking on habits has been overhauled - a bunch of bugs are fixed and the whole setup flow looks and works much better. Widgets have been removed The home screen widgets were terrible, so they're gone. They'll be rebuilt far better later on. New habit scheduling options Habits can now repeat every N days, or N times per week. Perfect for the gym 3x a week, or a deep clean every 10 days. Re-design your island Settings now has a 'Re-design Island' option. It keeps every item and character you own, refunds all the land you bought, and drops you onto a fresh island to build again from scratch. Seagulls Seagulls now fly around your map. Monke has not commented on this development. Surf rack A new surf rack item has been added. Somewhere to keep the boards. ### 1.4.8 — 2026-08-04 With this update, monke will end doomscrolling forever. HERE'S WHAT'S NEW: --------Stop Doomscrolling with Focus Blocks-------- Want to block TikTok after 10pm? You can now do this by adding a 'focus block' to your habit. You can set what apps to block, and between what times. If you really need to use your phone, you can spend bananas to unblock your apps. But you will anger monke - he lives on bananas after all. Just tap 'edit' on your existing habits to try this feature. ------Lock Apps Until You Complete Habits------- Do you always grab your phone in the morning? Monke the same, but NOT ANYMORE! You can now make it so that Social Media apps (or any app you want) is blocked on your phone until you complete habits in Monke. So you're forced to work out, journal, make breakfast or whatever other good habit you're working towards, before scrolling. Just edit your existing habits and add a focus block, then select what apps to block. BUILD YOUR ISLAND, FASTER Tap the pencil button to open the new build palette. Pick an item once, then tap to place as many as you like. Includes an eraser, undo, and tap-to-select controls for moving, flipping and rotating anything already placed. FOCUS SESSIONS, REDESIGNED A fresh look for the focus timer and its Live Activity, so your session is easy to read from the lock screen and Dynamic Island. PAUSE & RESUME Need a break mid-session? Hit pause on the timer or the Live Activity and pick it back up — no more killing the whole session. NATIVE ALARMS (iOS 26+) Sessions now end with a proper iOS alarm that rings even on silent, so you never miss the end of a block. Can be turned off in settings. MONKE FOCUSES WITH YOU Start a session and your main monke walks over to his straw mat and settles in. Place your new Straw Mat from the build palette to give him a spot. STREAK POTIONS, YOUR CALL Miss a day and you'll be asked whether to spend a potion, instead of one being used automatically. Prefer the old way? Turn auto-use back on in settings.
