Turn everyday tasks into quests you actually want to finish. Questify is a gamified task planner built to make planning feel more engaging—including for people with ADHD, easily distracted minds, or anyone who struggles to stick with ordinary to-do lists. Add a real-life task, complete it, earn XP, damage bosses, and watch your character evolve. MAKE PROGRESS VISIBLE Turn vague goals into clear daily quests. Choose a difficulty, collect immediate rewards, build streaks, and see every completed task move your adventure forward. PLAN YOUR NEXT MOVE WITH AI Speak your tasks out loud or type them. Questify can organize your day and suggest practical next steps based on your main quest and the daily tasks you have recently completed. Reroll whenever you want a fresh direction. AI planning is optional and works on supported iPhones after you opt in. When enabled, the text you are planning with is securely sent through Questify's server to OpenAI's gpt-4o-mini model. Voice entry uses Apple's speech recognition, and Questify does not save the raw microphone recording. You can turn AI planning off at any time in Settings. CHOOSE YOUR WORLD Pick from Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Superhero, or Zombie. Each world has its own visual atmosphere, avatar progression, and boss encounters, all backed by Questify's Heavenly theme. LEVEL UP YOUR CHARACTER Every quest earns XP. Progress through 20 character stages, unlock new forms, and prestige into a new world when you reach the top. BATTLE BOSSES Every completed task deals damage. Defeat bosses to unlock ranks, loot, and the satisfaction of seeing real work create a visible win. BUILT FOR MOMENTUM - Short, actionable daily quests - Voice-powered task capture - AI-powered Next Moves - Difficulty levels and XP rewards - Daily streaks and combo multipliers - Boss battles tied to real productivity - Four themed worlds with Questify's Heavenly music - 20 character forms in each genre - Adventure map and prestige progression Questify is a productivity and entertainment tool, not medical advice or a substitute for professional care.

All aboard for fewer distractions. Train Mode turns focus into a calm train ride. Choose a city, pick a route, board the train, and stay on track while you work, study, read, write, or take a break from distracting apps. Instead of staring at a plain timer, Train Mode gives your focus session a beginning, a journey, and an arrival. Your ride moves through station milestones, helping you feel progress without constantly checking your phone. HOW IT WORKS Choose a city. Pick a train ride. Board the train. Stay focused until you arrive. Train Mode is designed for people who want a more playful, calming way to start and finish focused sessions. FEATURES • Train-themed focus sessions Pick a ride and turn your work time into a journey. • City and route selection Choose from different cities and train rides, each with its own mood and duration. • Station progress Move through simple station milestones as your session continues. • App blocking support Use Screen Time permissions to help block selected distracting apps and categories during a ride. • Arrival summary When the ride ends, see your completed session and celebrate arriving on track. • Calm visual design A cozy train-inspired interface with clean routes, gentle progress, and a focused atmosphere. • Flexible focus lengths Use short rides for quick resets or longer rides for deeper work. TRAIN MODE PRO Unlock more ways to build your personal railway for focus. Pro features may include: • Custom train rides Create your own routes, durations, and station names. • More blocking presets Set up different app-blocking lists for work, study, reading, sleep, or creative time. • Scheduled departures Plan recurring focus rides so your routine starts on time. • Focus stats Track completed rides, focus minutes, streaks, and recent sessions. • Ticket stamps Collect a ticket each time you complete a ride. • Ambient train sounds Add a calming train atmosphere to your focus session. WHY TRAINS? A train ride has a clear departure, a route, and an arrival. Train Mode uses that simple idea to make focus feel less like forcing yourself to be productive and more like stepping into a quiet carriage for a little while. Use Train Mode for: • Studying • Writing • Reading • Deep work • Homework • Creative projects • Screen breaks • Reducing social media distractions • Building a calmer daily routine IMPORTANT NOTE Train Mode cannot turn on Airplane Mode automatically. Instead, it can help block selected distracting apps using Apple’s Screen Time permissions. Board a ride. Leave distractions at the station.
