Features
Journey, Milestone, and Quest System
- Journey: Define a long-term direction you want to work toward.
- Milestone: Journeys can feel too far away to keep you engaged. Setting milestones helps you recognize your progress and shorten the positive feedback loop. Earn gems when you achieve a milestone—fully customizable based on its significance.
- Quest: Focus on meaningful habits that drive your journey forward. Each quest represents an action or habit you commit to for growth.
Attribute System
- Attributes represent intangible qualities like health, creativity, or leadership.
- Set attributes that matter to you and link them to quests.
- Completing quests will increase linked attributes based on their difficulty. For instance, quests tied to "vitality" or "charisma" help you see progress in those areas.
Focus Timer & Skill System
- Link the built-in focus timer to your skills. Each minute spent focusing is converted into XP.
- The rule says mastering a skill requires approximately 10,000 hours. In Dual, reaching Level 100 reflects this milestone.
- As your level increases, the difficulty to level up grows, mirroring the real-life challenge of skill mastery.
- Categorize your skills and build a unique skill tree to visualize your growth.
100% Personalized Reward Shop
- Design rewards that excite and motivate you in real life, like a movie night, boba, or a new gadget.
- Unlock special rewards tied to milestones, such as earning a new pair of running shoes after breaking a personal record.
Upcoming Features
- Customizable loot boxes for added excitement
- Advanced stats to track quest completion and focus time

I love this app so far! It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for, I love the item shop and the fact that you allow me to customize my goals and rewards compared to some of the cringe competitors. If you implement one thing on my request that would make you stand out compared to the rest it would be a skill tree. Something along the lines of civ 5-6 skill tree. But allow us to customize the branches of said tree and the rewards and stipulations to complete said task. Whether it be xp in the task or just a check box that allows us to move onto the following branches. I think an example could be bubble 1= run 1mile, and that branches into 3 bubbles. One can work on speed to 1 mile in 10 min, the other could be distance= 2 miles without stopping. And the 3 could be resistance = run 1 mile with 20lbs. But what ever it is it should be highly customary to the users needs and desires. Could also make bonus items. Not just earn coins but maybe coins + an item from our shop. But anyways love the app and keep it pushing cuz this could easily out due all the competition.
Exactly what I was looking for

They say there are some ways to increase your chances of achieving a goal up to a 95% chance this app allows you to do all the first steps (setting a goal and planning out an actionable plan) all it's really missing is an accountability system although I don't even know how they'd add that (maybe a progression bar towards the journey.) My only recommendation for this app is adding a system where a task can be completed multiple times for points. For example if I set a quest of putting 5 dollars aside for savings every day (just an example) I want to be able to reaccomplish the quest if I put 10 dollars in one day! Maybe adding a repeatable toggle to the quest design interface! Simple change but I think it would add a tonnnnnn of value!**edit**You guys should also add a reoccurring feature to the quests where it pops up again each day of the week until you complete it (for quests that aren't daily)

This app is amazing, it has a clean and simple layout that is effective. It truly reads like you are looking up a rpg class chart. You can customize your abilities, attributes, and skills to your liking. My favorite being the skill level up system where you get a timer to focus and level of a “skill” which only reaches 100 when you clock a total of 10,000 hours. You really feel a sense of progress as you see your attributes and levels of up. It always has a store area where you can add your own rewards with money or gems you get from completing short term quests or long term “journeys” you create yourself. I’ve tried plenty of gamify your life apps but this is the only one that really stuck. Thank you and excellent work from the developer. PS. Question for the dev. Do the attribute levels have a cap?
Developer Response
Thank you so much for the kind words and thoughtful review — it truly means a lot! As for your question: attributes don’t have a fixed cap. The attribute chart is designed to be dynamic — it will automatically adjust its scale based on your progress.Thanks again for your support, and happy questing!

I’ve tried a bunch of productivity and habit trackers, but this one actually keeps me engaged. The gamified approach makes it fun to stay consistent, and the interface is super smooth. Highly recommend for anyone trying to build better habits!
