Build habits. Grow a little friend. StreakUp helps you turn everyday goals into habits, with a pet alongside you. Plan your routine, mark what you finish and watch your progress grow. Your completed goals earn meals for your pet, too. PICK YOUR LITTLE COMPANION A pocket gremlin, a baby cloud or a walking mushroom. Three different characters. One to grow with you. Choose your pet, give it a name and start your journey together. SMALL WINS FEED SOMETHING BIGGER Finish a goal. Earn a meal. Help your pet grow. See its appearance and mood change as you care for it. Without enough food over time, your pet may leave to find some. You can begin again with a new pet. MAKE ROOM FOR WHAT MATTERS Reading more. Moving regularly. Making time to study or practice. Set daily or weekly goals around the things you want to do. Choose reminders that fit your day, then record what you complete. SEE HOW FAR YOU HAVE COME Follow your streaks, habit heatmaps and goal history. Celebrate milestones and share your progress with a streak card. Earn Streak Shields at milestones to protect a streak after a missed day. Log again the next day to keep that protected streak going. TALK THROUGH YOUR NEXT STEP Not sure where to begin? Talk it through with your pet. Get ideas for a smaller step when a goal feels too much. Optional AI chat can use your goals, recorded progress and recent conversation. Saved memories can help carry useful details into a later chat. View and delete those memories in the app. Your pet stays visible while you chat, with changing expressions and animations. AI chat is optional and available to adults aged 18 and over. You choose whether to share the displayed context before using it. AI can make mistakes and does not replace professional advice. Habit tracking and pet care do not require AI chat. A LITTLE CHAT TO GET YOU STARTED Eligible devices receive 3 included AI replies daily for 30 days.

FocusQuest
Read full descriptionHide full description
FocusQuest turns focus into a game you actually want to play — it locks the apps pulling you away from your work, then rewards you for staying the course. REAL LOCKS, NOT SUGGESTIONS Choose the apps that distract you, start a focus or study timer, and FocusQuest locks them — no snoozing, no five-second workaround. When time's up, a real lock-screen alarm makes sure you notice. YOUR OWN RULES Set fixed windows — say, 10pm to 7am — where distracting apps stay locked automatically, timer or not. Or go further with Always Blocked, for the apps you'd rather cut out of your life completely. A CHECK THAT MEANS SOMETHING No hollow "are you still there?" prompts. A quick movement challenge confirms you're actually present — not just tapping a button on autopilot. PROGRESS YOU CAN FEEL Earn XP, level up, build a streak worth protecting, and clear daily quests that make consistency feel like momentum, not chores. BETTER WITH FRIENDS See how you stack up, cheer on their wins, send a wave — staying focused is easier when it's not just you. DESIGNED TO DISAPPEAR INTO YOUR DAY Dynamic Island & Live Activity keep your timer visible at a glance. Siri Shortcuts start and stop sessions hands-free. Spotlight surfaces your quests instantly. SharePlay lets you focus together on a call. Download FocusQuest and make breaking distraction the habit that actually sticks.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FocusQuest at none against StreakUp's 3. FocusQuest also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 days). StreakUp's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
