Turn the habits you want to build into daily quests. Complete a task, earn XP, and make progress with friends. Miss a day? Your progress waits for you. DAILY QUESTS, REAL HABITS Turn morning runs, journaling, study sessions, water intake, anything - into quests with XP rewards. Build streaks at your own pace. Rest days are encouraged, not punished. CheckMate is the habit tracker that respects your downtime. CO-OP RAIDS WITH FRIENDS The only habit RPG with multiplayer raids. Team up with friends, fight bosses by checking off your real habits, and win together. Accountability without the pressure. Four raid types: take down a boss with shared HP, grow a tree (cherry, birch, or oak) in a co-op grove, compete 5v5 in tug-of-war, or settle it in pure endurance. This is what makes CheckMate different from every other habit tracker on the store - your party carries you, you carry them. ADVENTURING POMODORO Focus sessions wrapped in a fantasy adventure. 25-minute focus + 5-minute rest by default, fully customizable. Ambient soundscapes (rain, crickets, fireplace, ocean, forest) play in the background while your screen is locked. Perfect for deep work, study sessions, or grinding through a long project. MOOD JOURNAL Track your mood, sleep, and energy alongside your habits, view trends in your life. Face ID locked for privacy. WHY CHECKMATE OVER OTHER HABIT TRACKERS - No HP loss when you miss a day - Rest days celebrated, not punished - Co-op multiplayer raids - accountability with friends or strangers - Privacy-first journal locked behind Face ID or fingerprint - Respects your time - no manipulative streak guilt CheckMate is the habit RPG for people who want gamification without the anxiety. The RPG nerds, the burnt-out productivity hackers, and the friends-keep-each-other-going crews. Ready to start your quest? Download, build with your party.
