Your to-do list builds a town. Brickby is a to-do list with something to show for it. Finish a task, earn a brick. Spend your bricks raising cottages, townhouses and manors on a little isometric island that grows all year. ONE BRICK, ONE TASK Every brick in your town is a task you actually finished. Nothing is handed out, nothing is bought, and the app never inflates the number to flatter you. Tap a building and it lists the jobs that paid for it — a week of small work, rendered as something you can look at. BUILD SOMETHING THAT LASTS Three bricks make a cottage. Six make a townhouse. Twelve make a manor. Add trees, hedges, wildflowers and ponds, turn the land, expand onto new plots, and rearrange any of it whenever you like. Nothing you build is ever taken away. REPEATING TASKS THAT DON'T NAG Set a task to repeat daily, on weekdays, weekends, weekly or monthly, and it hands itself forward when you tick it. Miss a day and nothing piles up — there is only ever one of each waiting, never a backlog shouting at you. STREAKS THAT PAY OUT Show up and the streak grows. Hit three days, a week, a fortnight, a month, two months, a hundred days, and each milestone hands you free land to place wherever you want. The rewards are land, never bricks, because a brick is a task you finished and those are only ever earned. QUIETLY DESIGNED The sky changes with the time of day. Trees sway. It works offline, needs no account, has no ads, and never sends you a guilt-trip notification. WHAT'S INSIDE • Simple daily to-do list with swipe to delete and drag to reorder • Repeating tasks — daily, weekdays, weekends, weekly, monthly • Full history of everything you have ever finished • Streaks with six milestones that grant land • An isometric town: three building types, dozens of colour variations • Landscaping, land expansion, and free rearranging • Widgets, no account, no ads, works offline Brickby is free to use. An optional upgrade unlocks the townhouse and manor, every building colour, all landscaping, and every kind of land.
