Most habit apps let you tap a checkbox. Gamified Lives makes you prove it. Snap a photo, sync Apple Health, or hold a timer — our AI verifies you actually did the thing before you earn XP. Your avatar grows when you grow. Your level reflects real work. You're not tracking habits. You're playing your life as an RPG. —————————————— WHAT'S INSIDE ▸ Goals → Habits → Daily Quests Set a goal ("Read 24 books this year"), break it into habits ("Read 15 minutes nightly"), get auto-generated daily quests. A three-tier hierarchy so your day-to-day actions are always tied to something bigger. ▸ AI-Verified Completion Photo proof, Apple Health sync, or timer verification. Three tiers of trust. The single feature that fixes the "lying to your habit app" problem. ▸ Your Avatar, Evolving AI-generated from a single selfie. Earn 250+ clothing items, 75+ room decor pieces, frames, badges, and titles by completing real tasks. Equip them. Watch your workspace become a reflection of your effort. ▸ 5 Life Domains in One App Health, Sleep, Finance, Learning, Mind, Recovery. Stop paying for Finch + Daylio + Sleep Cycle + I Am Sober. Everything in one workspace. ▸ Daily AI Coach (Premium) Talk to your future self. The AI coach knows your goals, habits, mood, and streak — and gives specific guidance based on what you actually did this week. Voice calls included. ▸ Squads (up to 10 people) Private accountability circles. Real-time chat, shared weekly quests, role-based daily tasks. Built for tight friend groups, not strangers. ▸ Adaptive Difficulty Engine The app gets harder when you're cruising. Easier when you're struggling. XP scales with what you're actually pushing through. ▸ Resilience Score + Phoenix Bonus Break a streak? You get a 24-hour comeback window — 2x XP if you return. Built around how habits actually re-form after a slip, not how guilt apps punish you for one. —————————————— WHY IT WORKS Traditional habit apps reward lying. Tap the checkbox, lose nothing. We require evidence — even a photo of your gym bag at the door counts. That single change is the difference between an app you abandon in 3 weeks and one that actually shapes who you become. Every XP point, every cosmetic, every level — earned. Your character is a mirror of your real-world consistency. —————————————— PRICING Free forever. Unlimited goals, habits, and tasks. Earn XP. Get a custom avatar. Build streaks. Track all 5 life domains. Photo verification 3x per week. Premium ($9.99/month or $75.99/year — saves 37%): • Unlimited AI Coach conversations • Voice calls from your avatar • Weekly AI reports • Rare and legendary cosmetics • Photo verification limit lifted (150/month) • Premium squad features 7-day free trial on all subscriptions. —————————————— PRIVACY Your Apple Health data is read on-device only — never uploaded. Your photos are processed by AI and immediately discarded. Your goals, habits, and tasks live on your device, with optional cloud sync. We don't sell your data. We don't train AI on it. We don't share it. Full privacy policy: gamifiedlives.com/privacy —————————————— Stop tracking your life. Start playing it. Built by Kevin Castaneda — one person, building the habit app I wish existed. Terms of Use: https://gamifiedlives.com/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://gamifiedlives.com/privacy.html

The push-up workout that plays like a game. Your camera is the controller. A live skeleton counts every clean rep. Then levels, leagues, and streaks pull you back tomorrow. Pushmaxx is a competitive push-up training game. The server deals the session. You play it. No guesswork, no honor system: if the form is not there, the rep does not count. WHAT YOU PLAY TRAINING A weekly program built around your real capacity. Progressive sets that get harder as you get stronger. DRILL A short, punchy session when you have a few minutes and want a score. CAMPAIGN Three shared tracks of 25 levels: Easy, Medium, and Hard. Climb the ladder. Replay anything you have cleared. LIVE BATTLE A last-one-standing 1v1. Pyramid rungs climb until someone breaks. Quick match a rival, or open a friend room. Every finished session earns XP. Climb ranks. Earn weekly league medals. Keep a streak that only counts the days you actually trained. YOUR CAMERA COUNTS On-device pose tracking draws a skeleton over you from the first calibration. Video and pose stay on your device, except in Live Battle, where you can send optional low-res video to your opponent or play skeleton-only. FULL ACCESS REQUIRES PREMIUM Onboarding and camera calibration are free. Training, Drill, Campaign, Live Battle, leagues, history, and stats require an auto-renewable Pushmaxx Premium subscription, sold as an in-app purchase.
