Turn your life into a quest. Vareio Quest turns goals into contracts you seal with yourself — and every achievement becomes a real 3D object in a hall that grows with you: the violin on the wall, the belt's kimono, the diploma, the new car on its pedestal, trophies on the shelf and the books you've read on the bookcase. THE BOOK OF CONTRACTS Every goal starts with a contract: the achievement you want, the tasks it asks of you each week and the reward you pay yourself when you complete the day. With or without a deadline, your way. Pick the object from more than 100 3D models. TODAY'S TASKS The daily board gathers what each contract asks of you today, by period and time: • Check-off, count, timed or Pomodoro tasks • Pomodoro with focus, short and long breaks — automatic or step by step, with or without breaks • Timer on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island (Live Activity), with pause, complete and give up • Postpone just today's occurrence, skip a day or fit in an occasional task without breaking the week • Your day turns over at your time, not at midnight A HALL THAT TELLS YOUR STORY Rotate the camera, get close to each piece and open the contract's sheet. What's on track shines; what's forgotten starts to fade. Take the spyglass tour and record a video to share. REPORTS Week, month and year: tasks done over planned, adherence, time spent, Pomodoro sessions and the balance between body, mind, relationships, craft and possessions. SIMPLE AND HONEST • No account, no ads, no tracking • Your data stays on your iPhone, with automatic daily backups and restore • In Portuguese, English and Spanish PREMIUM Your first 2 contracts are free.
