Habitica

Habitica Habitica makes habit building easier by combining a flexible task tracker with RPG rewards. Add daily goals, check them off in real life, earn coins and XP, and level up your character.

Habitica

Building a solid habit isn’t something you do overnight—it takes time, discipline, and real effort. Habitica is an app designed to make that process smoother and more rewarding. It blends daily habit tracking with gameplay, so every time you finish a real-life task, you earn rewards.

You can choose from a wide range of characters and items. As you earn experience points (XP), your character levels up, you collect weapons, and you can even take on tough bosses. If you’re looking for genuine motivation while you work on better habits, this app is built for exactly that.

How it works

Once you create your avatar, you’ll add the tasks, chores, or goals you want to complete. When you finish those tasks in real life, return to the app and mark them as done—then you’ll receive coins, experience points, and in-game items you can use.

How to use

• Create your own avatar and earn XP and coins by completing your daily tasks.
• Choose which activities should reward you. For instance, opening and checking emails in the morning, or riding a bike for 30 minutes each day, can both earn rewards.
• Set up specific activities and scheduled appointments to earn XP. The amount of XP you gain depends on the difficulty level you set.



• As your XP grows, you level up and can customize your character. Use the coins you earn to buy classic RPG gear such as swords, , , axes, and more—items that also change your character’s look.
