SideQuest

SideQuest turns self-improvement into a game you can't quietly quit. Create quests for the things you actually need to do workouts, studying, chores, deep work each with a deadline, difficulty, and XP reward. Complete them to earn XP, level up, and build streaks. Miss a deadline? Now you're in debt. And debt in SideQuest doesn't disappear it grows every day until you pay it off with real effort: FITNESS camera-verified pushups with on-device rep counting (form-checked: no cheating) FOCUS timed deep-work sessions WELLNESS breathe, stretch, or walk it off CHORES knock out your task list CUSTOM log any honest effort Every point of debt you repay earns coins. Spend them in the shop on power-ups like Streak Shields, Debt Freezes, and Deadline Extensions or go on the offensive with a Debt Bomb or Taunt aimed at a friend. COMPETE WITH FRIENDS Add friends, climb the leaderboard through Bronze to Diamond leagues, and challenge each other head-to-head: most quests completed or most debt paid in 3–30 days. TRACK YOUR JOURNEY Streak milestones and badges, XP levels, 14-day activity charts, and an all-time progress view keep the momentum visible. Your camera is used only for counting pushup reps, and all video is processed entirely on your device — nothing is ever recorded or uploaded. Turn discipline into a game. Your quests are waiting.
