Make your next task the start of an adventure. Levelio brings a daily planner, to-do list, and habit tracker together with a cozy RPG. Complete real tasks to earn XP, grow your hero, and explore Mosswood at your own pace. PLAN YOUR DAY • Keep one-time tasks and recurring habits in one place. • Pick what matters today with your Daily Plan. • Set reminders and check off work as you finish it. • Keep track of your streaks and completed tasks. GROW THROUGH REAL PROGRESS Choose a hero class, collect gear, and develop your Class Mastery. Real task completions open six permanent regions and their landmark stories. Optional turn-based battles give your hero a place to put those skills to use. MAKE MOSSWOOD FEEL LIKE HOME Restore your shelter, meet Bramble and Lark, and grow a garden through earned camp chapters. Keep an Adventure Journal of your discoveries. Choose earned titles and owned gear appearances, then work toward Veteran milestones through level 50. Adventure is optional. Your next real-world task always comes first. START FREE. ADD MORE WITH PRO. Track up to three active tasks or habits for free. Levelio Pro adds: • Unlimited active tasks and habits. • Ordered routines and advanced reminder controls. • Widgets, progress history, and streak insights. • Custom icons, colors, and camp atmospheres. • Progress export and optional private iCloud backup and recovery. Monthly and annual auto-renewable subscriptions are available. Manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account. Free users can choose optional rewarded ads for capped Adventure assists and camp decorations, or hide the offers. Pro includes the same capped options without ads. These options never complete tasks or grant XP, gold, or loot. Core tracking needs no Levelio account. Your tasks and progress stay on your device unless you choose to export, enable Apple Reminders sync, or turn on private iCloud backup.

About

FocusQuest

Features
Read full description

Your focus timer is now an RPG. Start a session and your pixel-art hero sets off on a quest that lasts exactly as long as you stay focused — every minute of real concentration moves them forward. FocusQuest turns the hardest part of deep work — actually starting — into the best part of your day. No guilt-trip charts. No streak-shaming. Just a quest board, a hero, and a world that grows a little every time you focus. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a quest from the daily board and set your timer. 2. Focus. Your hero adventures through scrolling pixel-art worlds while you work. 3. Finish and collect XP, gold, gear, and a longer streak. WHY YOU'LL ACTUALLY OPEN IT • A focus timer you look forward to — Pomodoro sessions reimagined as quests • Real progression — earn XP, gold, and armor every single session • Level up a character that mirrors your focus habit, with no level cap • Build daily streaks and see your whole focus history at a glance • Five hand-crafted pixel-art worlds to journey through • Calming soundscapes to drop into deep work fast • Group quests — focus side by side with friends in real time • Works fully offline — your focus shouldn't depend on a signal BUILT TO HELP YOU FOCUS, NOT DISTRACT YOU During a quest the world goes quiet: slow scrolling, nothing to tap, no noise. The game gets out of the way so you can do the work — then celebrates you the moment you're done. NO PUNISHMENT, EVER Miss a day? Abandon a session? You never lose XP, gold, or gear you've already earned. FocusQuest only rewards you for showing up. MADE FOR Studying, deep work, writing, coding, reading, side projects, beating procrastination — and anyone who's bounced off plain productivity timers. GOLD CARD MEMBERSHIP Go further with an optional Gold Card subscription: a monthly Guild Marks stipend, your complete focus history, daily perks, and the ability to host group quests. • Monthly: $4.99 USD per month • Annual: $39.99 USD per year (best value) FocusQuest is free to download and play.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: FocusQuest at none against Levelio's shown. FocusQuest also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
