Turn your daily effort into progress you can see. RPG Tasks brings together a focus timer, daily quests and custom skills that level up as you get things done. Study English. Finish a workout. Build your next project. Earn XP from completed tasks and focus sessions, then look back at the effort behind each skill. GIVE EACH SESSION THE RIGHT CREDIT One project can involve different skills. Building an app today? Choose Coding for your focus session. Writing its launch page tomorrow? Choose Marketing while keeping the same project. Use your project’s default skill distribution or select one skill for an individual session. Your work stays organized, and its XP goes where it belongs. FOCUS AT YOUR OWN PACE Flow counts up from zero, so you don’t have to decide how long you’ll work before you begin. Pick a project, start the timer, and pause or stop when you need to. Completed sessions record your focus time and earn skill XP. Follow your active session with Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island on supported iPhones. SEE WHEN YOU SHOWED UP Filter your activity calendar by skill to review the tasks and focus time linked to it. Want to see whether you’ve been keeping up with fitness? Select Fitness. Reviewing your study routine? Switch to English. Tap a day to explore its activity. TURN TASKS INTO QUESTS Give everyday tasks a place in your progress. Organize quests by project, add notes, choose a difficulty and set recurring tasks for routines you want to build. Break larger tasks into subtasks and earn XP as you complete your quests. BUILD YOUR OWN SKILLS Choose what matters to you: Coding, Fitness, English, Art or something entirely your own. Each skill has its own level, XP and progress bar. Open its details to review related quests and focus contributions. Your levels reflect the effort you log, creating a record you can keep building on. UNDERSTAND WHERE YOUR TIME GOES Review focus activity by day, week or month. Compare time spent across projects and see which goals received your attention. Use that history to decide what deserves your next session. MAKE THE JOURNEY YOURS Choose an avatar, name your character and create projects around your goals. Your skills and quests can reflect the things you actually want to work on. FREE AND PREMIUM Start with free features and a limited number of Flow sessions. Premium unlocks unlimited Flow and additional features. Optional rewarded ads may let you earn extra sessions when available. The free version includes ads, and some features have usage limits.
