Hate re-charge!

I payed in Android version. But you require me to pay it again in iPhone!

Response from developer

ulives has not launched or released an Android version, so there is no repeated charge for the same app. What you purchased on Android was LifeUp, a separate app; the iPhone app is ulives, not an iOS version of LifeUp. ulives is currently offline-first, without an account or server service; its pricing and membership model were designed around the long-term goal of a multi-platform product, not around transferring a LifeUp purchase to another store. LifeUp is an Android-only app whose pricing and purchase rights were designed for a single platform. Buying one app once cannot automatically buy every other app a developer may create—especially when ulives was built from scratch with a different team, codebase, and platform architecture. For clarity to other readers: LifeUp is the lower-cost single-platform product, while ulives is being built as a multi-platform product. The two apps have separate stores, purchases, licenses, and data; ulives supports importing LifeUp backup data, but that import does not transfer the LifeUp license. Development and implementation of additional ulives platforms, including Android, are underway, with the long-term goal of making ulives membership available across platforms. However, the server-side service and some of the technical mechanisms required for cross-platform entitlements are not yet in place, so those benefits are not currently available.

成就的自动解锁要开会员才行。。。

换手机从安卓的人升转过来的,没想到一些安卓上免费的功能,到ios上就必须要开会员了,挺伤心的,虽然说是不开会员也能用95%的功能,但是我觉得ios上这个百分比要降一些,不开会员只有80%左右的功能,有些功能挺重要的,换过来的时候,有些功能转收费了,当然,有些功能是在安卓上收费,ios上免费,比较出乎意料,不过最主要的是,这个定价有些难以承受,安卓和ios两个都要买,数据还不互通,ios比安卓贵了一倍多点,虽然我出于信任又买了ios的会员,但还是想建议这个自动解锁成就可以免费,会方便很多,哦对了,还有一件事,这个添加音效有bug,添加音效的时候会卡住,点击没反应,不过还是谢谢开发者了,软件确实很好用

Response from developer

感谢您的反馈,也理解您从人升迁移到 iOS 后,对功能差异和价格差异的感受。 需要说明的是,ulives 是从头开发的独立 App,与人升使用不同的代码库、开发团队和平台生态。 人升的付费协议明确按单平台提供永久有效权益。ulives 支持从人升备份导入数据,但两款 App 的购买权益、许可证和数据并不会直接互通。 因此,人升这类单平台 App 的定价,不能与面向多平台、并充分考虑长期可维护性的 ulives 直接横向比较。按我们的定价原则,两款 App 的永久会员定价,或折算后的年订阅价格,应该低于大部分同类产品,同时也需要覆盖产品长期开发、平台适配和维护所需的成本。 从我们长期维护人升的实际经验来看,单纯减少付费权益并不是健康、可持续的商业化模式。付费权益过少,会降低用户的付费意愿,进而影响产品的持续开发、适配与维护。更健康的方向应该是让付费用户与开发者形成共利关系,才能让产品得到更长远的发展和维护。 ulives 免费版已提供较完整的核心功能,会员功能则用于提供更多完整功能和增值价值,并支持持续开发、平台适配和长期维护。长期、稳定地维护产品本身,也是对会员体验的重视。 针对 ulives,我们并未承诺“95% 功能免费”,因此不能将这一比例直接套用于 ulives 的功能与会员权益评价。这样既容易造成误解,也会对现有会员权益和付费用户不公平。 按目前规划,未来若扩展到 Android、鸿蒙等平台,ulives 会员权益的目标是跨平台通用,但具体平台范围、实现方式和时间仍以后续正式发布为准。 关于添加音效时无响应,目前收到的是个例反馈,初步怀疑可能与特定兼容性有关;大部分设备目前运行正常,我们正在收集信息并继续排查。如您愿意进一步协助,欢迎通过 App 内“设置 → 关于 → 反馈问题”提供 App 版本、系统版本和复现步骤。

Great/best

This is the best task-reward tracking app that builds daily habits

Woah

This app is literally the best app for self improvement imo. Can’t wait for future updates!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted that ulives has become a helpful part of your self-improvement journey, and we’ll keep working to make it even better. If you have any suggestions, feel free to email us at fb@ulives.io or use the feedback form available in the app under Settings → About.

Best Productivity App for those who have tons of creativity

The App provides a lot of freedom of designing your own incentive system. You can build your own world and have fun while doing the productivity boost. This is one of the best in term of gamification.

Missing a Feature

Love this app!

The reason for the lack of a star is because I’m still waiting for a customizability feature. This feature in particular is the ability to add GIFs, videos, or moving banners to the tasks, tags, stats, achievements, store items, and profile icons.

I want to customize my profile to the fullest extent that could be possible, and to achieve my vision, this feature would need to be added. I constantly check the updates page to see if the requested update has arrived, but alas, I’m still waiting. I would have an even bigger reason to use this app if this feature request was added soon.

Response from developer

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback and for supporting ulives. We’ve recorded this customization request and will continue evaluating it as we improve the app. We can’t promise a specific release date, but your input helps us prioritize future improvements. If you have more suggestions or feedback, please use the feedback form on the About page in the app, or email us at fb@ulives.io.

No widgets

This is a cool idea…but unfortunately, this app is pointless for me because there are no widgets. I don’t understand it when productivity apps that are specifically geared toward people with ADHD don’t have a widget option. ADHDers commonly struggle with object permanence - meaning "out of sight, out of mind". If I don't have widgets on my Home Screen that allow me to engage with an app, it's like it doesn't exist. Hopefully the developers will consider adding a widget option in the future! I’m usually willing to pay for that feature - depending on the price, of course.

Hello! Thank you so much for your feedback and patience. We have some great news: Widgets have officially been released in version 1.8.0 on June 28th!​ ulives is an app still in its active development stage, and we are dedicated to its growth. We maintain a transparent Roadmap that outlines our short- and medium-term plans—in fact, widgets have been a key part of that plan for quite some time. We would love for you to try out the new widgets and see how they work for you. If you have any further suggestions or run into any issues, please feel free to submit feedback directly through the in-app feedback system. Thank you for helping us make ulives better!

The Most Customizable Gamification System

I adore this app. Everything is customizable, attributes, skills, achievements that auto complete, rewards. It has an amazing item system where you can make custom items with all sort of effects like loot boxes, crafting, or even running a shortcut.

There are many options for tasks so you can use it for habits, projects, subtasks, counting things, and even logging a journal when you complete one. It has 3 focus modes that you can customize how each one rewards you based on what focus task you’re doing. It has pomodoro, a stopwatch, and countdown.

It takes a bit of creativity and effort to get the most out of this app, but you can create any kind of gamification system you want with it.

The developer seems to be updating quite regularly with awesome improvements and features. I’m really excited for the next major release that add widgets.

The only thing I’m really waiting for is more shortcut integration so I can control ulives from the shortcuts too. I think it could be really powerful and used in so many ways.

early days but very promising

I’ve used the dev’s previous task gamification app on Android, and this feels like an even more streamlined version. After getting around the learning curve for it, it has become my current main app for task management, and is quickly becoming one of my most needed and loved apps because it makes working around my neurodivergence (especially the executive dysfunction) a lot easier and simple to do. I still have to make sure I actually open it & maintain it, but that is also kinda fun cause it helps remind me that life is for fun/living, even if we also have more boring or less interesting stuff that is required to do to continue living. This lets me put the required stuff in its place for when I am ready to do/address it so I won’t have that stuff weighing on my mind when I am able to go out and enjoy life. Thank you for the continued development!!!

Great app for gamification.

I dug through the app store for a long time looking for a gamification app that met my needs. This one goes above and beyond! I love the UI, XP system, shop, achievements and pretty much everything about it. I highly recommend giving it a try.

Response from developer

A Big Thank You to the Unlife Team

Dear Unlife Team, I just wanted to take a moment to genuinely thank you for creating such an outstanding app. After trying many productivity and habit-tracking apps, I can confidently say that Unlife stands out as one of the best. It not only competes with apps like Strive, but in several aspects, it actually surpasses them. What truly makes Unlife special is the balance between simplicity and effectiveness. It helps me stay focused, organized, and consistent with my habits in a way that feels natural and not overwhelming. It honestly feels like I’m finally in control of my time and daily structure. If I may suggest one thing: it would be amazing to see more features added to the free version, as this could help more users experience the full potential of the app and expand its reach even further. Thank you again for your hard work and thoughtful design. You’ve built something truly valuable—please keep going. Best regards, A grateful use Also, I truly appreciate the support for the Arabic language in the app. As an Arabic speaker, this makes the experience much more comfortable and enjoyable. I hope you continue improving and expanding Arabic support in future updates.

Great Gamify Life app

About a year ago I was using a different app than it got deleted from the app store. So in the search for a new app I found this and was blown away cause it had everything and more. I love the task manager, the shop, stats, crafting recipes, loot boxes, etc. Whoever made this did a great job.

Response from developer

Hi! Thanks so much for the support. We're thrilled ulives could fill that gap and that you're enjoying the crafting and loot systems! 🎯 We’re still in the early stages, so expect a lot more updates and polish soon. Our goal is to give you total freedom to gamify your life exactly how you want. If you ever have ideas to share, we're all ears at fb@ulives.io. Happy questing! 😊

Continuing to love your apps

I was happy to see you’ve made an apple version of lifeup that’s working to be even better. I look forward to whatever changes you make in the future. I do miss the way I could swipe a task over to the focus tab but other than that I love the new attributes and skills section and it’s serving me well!

The best gamified task manager

It’s simple (read: it’s not overwhelming) but it has a robust, customizable rewards system. I get so many dopamine hits just from doing my everyday tasks. I’m in love!

Response from developer

Please feel free to reach out to us anytime at fb@ulives.io. Thank you for being with us from the very beginning!

Pretty Good, No Wigets and Notifications are easy to ignore

It’s a pretty good app when it comes to gamification it gives you a lot of customization options to set up something that makes the dopamine go off. My only issue and the reason for 4 stars is the lack
Of a widget.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your support and feedback! 🎯 Regarding the widgets, they are definitely in our development plan. Because this involves significant underlying changes, we expect to introduce the first batch of widgets in version 1.8.0 (which will be in two major feature updates). Additionally, for recurring tasks, ulives already supports reminder functions. You can set up periodic reminders within your custom tasks to help manage them effectively. Since ulives is still in its early stages, your feedback is incredibly valuable to us. Please feel free to share more thoughts at fb@ulives.io!

Very good app, super customizable and keeps me motivated because it’s basically MY game that I’ve created. It’s a very good app.
