Do hard things. Every day. SideQuesting turns real life into the game: take on real-world quests — call an old friend, watch the sunrise, cook a meal from scratch — and prove you did them. Live photos only; the camera is the point. No gallery uploads, no fakes. DAILY GOALS Pick a few small things worth doing every day. Check them off, build a streak, and watch your record grow — one perfect day at a time. A steps goal keeps count for you: connect Apple Health and it completes on its own the moment you reach your number. Your goals are private; your streak is earned. QUESTS WITH PROOF Every quest pays points when you finish it. Photo quests want a live photo taken in the moment. Honor quests take your word — that's the deal. Multi-day quests track your run one check-in at a time. PARTNERS WHO KEEP YOU HONEST Some quests need a witness. Pick a partner when you register; they verify your proof when you finish, and their name goes on it. A FEED OF THINGS PEOPLE ACTUALLY DID No opinions, no reposts — every post is a completed quest. Cheer people on, take on the quests they finished, and climb the weekly leaderboard. TAKE A BREAK ON IPHONE Pick the apps and sites that eat your day, and SideQuesting blocks them with Apple's Screen Time for as long as you choose. Open one and you get a sidequest instead. Quests like "7 days without social media" and goals like "No screens in bed" can block them for you, at their own hours. You can end a break early at any time. MADE FOR DOING, NOT SCROLLING One quiet, monochrome design. Green appears only when you've earned it.
