Read full description

Your habits are quests. Your progress is real. Habit Quest turns your daily routines into a 16-bit RPG adventure. Set goals, complete quests, earn XP, and level up as you build the habits that change your life โ€” one day at a time. Unlike ordinary to-do lists, every task you complete matters. Build streaks, trigger combo multipliers, and watch your pixel pet companion grow alongside you. It's productivity that actually feels rewarding. RAISE A COMPANION Choose from unique pixel pets โ€” each with their own personality and element type. Complete quests to strengthen your bond and unlock evolution stages. Your companion grows larger and stronger as you level up together, reacting to your progress in real time. CONQUER BOSS BATTLES Tackle big goals by breaking them into subtasks and facing them as boss fights. Pick your difficulty. Chip away at the boss's HP with each completed task. Earn bonus XP and streak multipliers when you claim victory. Big projects have never felt this satisfying. BUILD UNBREAKABLE STREAKS Set daily, weekly, or monthly recurring habits with flexible scheduling. Build streaks that compound over time. Trigger combo chains by completing tasks back-to-back for escalating XP bonuses. Smart pet reminders keep your momentum alive. LEVEL UP THROUGH 20 RANKS Every completed quest earns XP. Progress from Novice to Legend across 20 levels. Unlock achievement badges along the way. Hit max level and prestige for bonus rewards and a fresh climb. TRACK YOUR GROWTH Go beyond simple checkboxes. Track habits by duration, quantity, or numeric targets โ€” not just done or not done. View detailed trait reports with RPG-style hero stats, heat maps, and weekly breakdowns that show exactly how you're improving. EVERYTHING YOU NEED: - Non-binary habit tracking (minutes, reps, pages โ€” your way) - Combo system with escalating XP multipliers - Celebration animations โ€” fireworks, confetti, coin rain - Apple health integration for fitness goals - Home Screen widget to stay on track - iCloud sync across all your devices - CSV data export - Beautiful pixel art throughout โ€” inspired by classic SNES RPGs APPLE HEALTH INTEGRATION Automatically track fitness habits using data from the Apple Health app. Set step goals, monitor activity, and let your health data count toward completing quests. Habit Quest reads and updates your Health data to sync your real-world fitness progress with your in-app quests. Built for people who've tried every productivity app and quit. Habit Quest makes consistency feel like winning.
