You know what you need to do. Getting started is the hard part. Skillion turns your day into an RPG: every task you finish gives XP to your skills, levels up your character and pays you coins for rewards you set yourself. HOW IT WORKS • Create the skills you want to grow: Discipline, Fitness, Spanish, Guitar, anything. • Every task or habit adds XP to one or more of them. Hit the gym today and it shows right away: +15 Fitness. • Spend your coins on your own rewards: an episode, a gaming session, that snack. • Your pixel-art character levels up with you, and the shop has outfits and seasonal costumes. NEW: PACTS Challenge a friend to a habit. You both post a photo as proof, and the loser pays whatever you agreed on. Three modes: Survival (miss a day, lose a life), Race to the finish and Most in X days. NEW: BAD HABITS Give what you want to quit negative XP. Every relapse costs you life, and every clean day gets celebrated. FOR THE DAYS YOU CAN'T GET GOING • Build my day: tell it what's on your plate and it lays out your day in time blocks. • Task of destiny: spin the machine and get a mission with a timer. It decides, you just start. • Time blocking: your whole day on a clock, everything in its slot. • Widgets show your tasks and your pact without opening the app. It's a habit tracker and a to-do list with RPG gamification, all in one. ADHD? A lot of our players have it, and they use Skillion for the small stuff that's hard to start: dishes, laundry, meds, that one email. Free to start. Premium unlocks unlimited skills, AI magic (like Build my day), unlimited machine missions and up to 20 pacts at once. Made by a small indie team, no ads. Give it a week and watch your bars climb with things you used to put off.
