Tired of weeks blending in? Feeling stuck in life? Want to escape the 9-5 repetitive routine? You need to do more sidequests. Try one new thing every week. Experiment. Have fun! Make memories. Sidequest gives you a small quest every Sunday - cold shower, phone-free morning, cook something you can't pronounce, run a 5k.. Do it for 7 days straight and make yourself a memory. Snap a photo along the way. By December you've got 52 little polaroids and a year that didn't blur into the last one. How it works Every Sunday night, four new quests drop. Three picked for you and one shared for everyone. You pick one and only one. You're in for 7 days. Every day you do the thing and take a photo - one tap, no filters, no editing. The photo gets a date and lands in your scrapbook. Miss a day, that day stays empty. The gaps are part of the record. The point isn't to be perfect. The point is to do things! The community quest One of the four quests each week is the shared one - a pick anyone using the app can opt into. Choose it and you're in alongside everyone else who also picked it that week, your friends included if you can talk them into the same one. After your daily check-in you see how the rest of the cohort answered the day's poll - what they cooked, how cold the shower really was, whether they made it past day three. On the days you almost skipped, it helps. What you get back - A scrapbook that fills up over the year without you having to organise it - Quests you'd actually want to tell someone about - A photo a day, 30 seconds, no streak shame, no badges - A year you can flip back through in December and actually recognise Who it's for Anyone whose weeks have started to feel the same. People who watch other people live and want to do a bit of their own. The friend who hasn't got a story this month. People who don't really want a habit tracker or a journal or another productivity app - they just want a reason to do something different on a Tuesday. Not a habit tracker. Not a journal. Not a productivity dashboard. Just a small dare every Sunday, with a photo to show for it. Things worth knowing - No accounts, no email, no follower counts, no ads - Your photos and notes live on your phone (local-first - they're yours) Got a quest idea or a question? hello@side-quest.lol Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://side-quest.lol/privacy
