## What is Play?

■ Concept
"Grow with the dragon in the real world!"

■ Overview
・Helps you make your effort a habit.
・Records your effort like the play time of a video game.

■ About Quests and Dragons
・In this app, what you want to work hard on is called a "Quest."
・You can create quests freely. The time you play a quest becomes the dragon's experience points.
・When the dragon evolves and reaches its final form, you should be just as strong!

■ Features
・You can set a timer for each quest.
・You can turn quest timer completion notifications ON / OFF.
・The Story feature lets you group quests by category.
・You can freely comment on quests. Try keeping track of your daily progress and insights.
・Consecutive play days and the number of attempts are also recorded to promote habit formation.
・Apple Watch — You can now start and stop quests from your wrist.
・Shortcuts — You can control quests from Siri and the Shortcuts app.
・Calendar — Registers your quest activity history to the calendar. Useful for looking back.
・Scheduled Notifications — Reminds you to start quests at set times.
・Webhook — You can use quest start and end as triggers.
・HealthKit — Activity time for quests designated as workouts is automatically recorded in Health.
・Data Backup — You can now export/import data.
・Dashboard — You can view daily play time in graphs.
・LiveActivity — You can check the remaining timer time on the Lock Screen.
・Don't-Do Quests — Now supports habits you want to quit, such as smoking and drinking.

■ Why I Made This
・I noticed my game play time exceeded 100 hours in a single month.
　I thought if I could put the same effort into studying and sports, I could grow like a game character, so I created this app.
