Woah

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

Love it

This has everything I wanted! I’ve tried many popular gamifying apps but this one is definitely the best suited for my needs.

Exactly what I was looking for

A lot better than the other apps. This one is the best.

I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THIS APP!!!!

First of all, I just want to say that I am truly thankful for this app. Before I found this app for the last 2-3 years I have been going through the worst moments in my life because I was just overwhelmed and dealing with so much stress and anxiety trying to balance all the tasks and work in my life and it was getting to the point where I almost gave up on myself. However throughout the entire summer of 2025, I kept seeing ads for similar apps like this one that used tasks to make your life easier. When looking at the ads, they were very inspiring, but the problem was that these apps either had very expensive paywalls just to access them or simply weren’t that good.

Because I was inspired by these task-oriented apps, I decided to search on my own for something similar that was actually usable and high quality—and that’s when I found this app.

(By the way, before all this, my life was miserable.) I was constantly stressed because I had a million tasks to do, and it all felt overwhelming. That stress would lead to anxiety, which caused me to do nothing at all.

When I first saw this app, not only was it visually appealing with its colors and art style, but the amount of features and customization options are amazing. I can literally set everything exactly how I want—from the type of rewards I earn to the currency I create to fit my own lifestyle. I love checking my progress and seeing how I’m doing every day.

This app truly saved my life and made it so much less stressful. You have no idea how much it means to me. It unlocked a level of discipline in me that I’ve never seen before. And as a gamer, I love the game-like aspects—it reminds me of trophy hunting on PlayStation, but in real life. It feels like I’m literally leveling up in real life.

I will say though that for the first couple of days you do have to take the time to customize a system that works for you in this app but once you have a momentum and a structured system of tasks and rewards it almost feels like you developed your own video game and you are ready to start unlocking a new version of yourself. What I also love about this app is that I am always learning new things that I can implement into my own system that makes tracking my progress easier.

I’m so glad I stumbled upon this app while searching for something like it, because it genuinely changed my life for the better. If you’re going through a hard time and love gaming in any way, shape, or form, I truly believe this app could be your path to leveling up in real life.
