ulives: Your Custom RPG Productivity System
Build a productivity system as unique as you are. ulives turns real-life goals into a fully customizable RPG — design your own attributes, currencies, rewards, and achievement conditions. Every task and habit earns XP, coins, and visible progress toward the life you want.
Unlike basic habit trackers, ulives lets you define the entire system. No two journeys are alike.
DESIGN YOUR RPG UNIVERSE
Create custom attributes (Fitness, Learning, Creativity — you name it) and skills. Assign tasks to level them up with XP. Define your own level curves, level names, and progression milestones. Craft items with unique effects — from granting XP to triggering unboxing or opening URLs.
CUSTOM REWARDS SHOP & LOOT BOX
Spend hard-earned Coins in your personal Shop — a coffee break, a movie night, a snack, or save up for bigger goals. Create a motivation system that actually works for you.
Open your self-defined Loot Box with configurable odds for a fun surprise — great for deciding lunch, weekend activities, or celebrating milestones. No paid pulls or pay-to-win.
SMART ACHIEVEMENTS
• Manual achievements: set milestone goals like "Read 50 Books" or "Visit 10 Countries."
• Automatic achievements: define conditions and get rewards automatically — "10 consecutive morning runs," "100 focus minutes on Algorithm Practice today." Progress is clearly visualized.
• Periodic achievements: daily, weekly, monthly, or streak-based — auto-reset and keep tracking.
• NEW — Achievement Checklist: organize life goals as capsule lists. Long-press to complete, batch-create in seconds. Built-in templates: Life Experiences 50, Books & Movies 100, and more.
• NEW — Countdown Dates: set a target date for any checklist item and see the countdown (or days since completion) at a glance — perfect for bucket lists and life milestones.
FOCUS TIMERS WITH REWARDS
Three modes: Pomodoro, stopwatch, and countdown. Link sessions to focus tasks and auto-reward XP and coins on completion, with optional end sound and auto-start for the next session.
COMPLETE TASK & HABIT SYSTEM
Repeating tasks (daily/weekly/monthly/yearly), reminders, subtasks, notes, history, lists, and groups. Count tasks with target goals, units, and step tracking.
CRAFT YOUR SYSTEM
Define recipes to combine items and resources into unique rewards. Create custom currencies and personal challenges. Item use-effects are deeply configurable: adjust XP, grant or consume items, trigger unboxing, play sounds, open links, or log reflections.
ACTIVITY LOG & REFLECTIONS
Review completed tasks, earned rewards, unlocked achievements, and focus sessions in one timeline. Link notes to journal your progress and plan next steps.
STATISTICS & INSIGHTS
Overview, trends, and attribute distribution with radar charts and time filters. See your growth across every dimension you define.
PERSONALIZE & PRIVACY
Change your app icon, theme color, and enjoy Dark Mode. Your data is local-first and offline-ready, with iCloud backup support.
WHO IS ULIVES FOR?

Stop just doing tasks — start playing your life.

Dear Unlife Team, I just wanted to take a moment to genuinely thank you for creating such an outstanding app. After trying many productivity and habit-tracking apps, I can confidently say that Unlife stands out as one of the best. It not only competes with apps like Strive, but in several aspects, it actually surpasses them. What truly makes Unlife special is the balance between simplicity and effectiveness. It helps me stay focused, organized, and consistent with my habits in a way that feels natural and not overwhelming. It honestly feels like I’m finally in control of my time and daily structure. If I may suggest one thing: it would be amazing to see more features added to the free version, as this could help more users experience the full potential of the app and expand its reach even further. Thank you again for your hard work and thoughtful design. You’ve built something truly valuable—please keep going. Best regards, A grateful use Also, I truly appreciate the support for the Arabic language in the app. As an Arabic speaker, this makes the experience much more comfortable and enjoyable. I hope you continue improving and expanding Arabic support in future updates.A

The Most Customizable Gamification System
SharkQuinn
I adore this app. Everything is customizable, attributes, skills, achievements that auto complete, rewards. It has an amazing item system where you can make custom items with all sort of effects like loot boxes, crafting, or even running a shortcut. There are many options for tasks so you can use it for habits, projects, subtasks, counting things, and even logging a journal when you complete one. It has 3 focus modes that you can customize how each one rewards you based on what focus task you’re doing. It has pomodoro, a stopwatch, and countdown. It takes a bit of creativity and effort to get the most out of this app, but you can create any kind of gamification system you want with it. The developer seems to be updating quite regularly with awesome improvements and features. I’m really excited for the next major release that add widgets.The only thing I’m really waiting for is more shortcut integration so I can control ulives from the shortcuts too. I think it could be really powerful and used in so many ways.
Developer Response
Hello! Thank you so much for your supportive and detailed review! We truly appreciate the time you took to share how you use the different systems in ulives.We have some exciting news: Widgets have officially been released in version 1.8.0! We would love for you to try them out and see how they fit into your custom gamification setup. 🎯Regarding your suggestion for deeper Shortcuts integration, this is definitely on our radar. We agree that expanded support would make ulives even more powerful, and we plan to introduce more actions in future updates.If you have specific ideas for Shortcut actions you'd like to see, please submit them via the in-app feedback system or email us at fb@ulives.io. Thank you for helping us grow! 🚀
GREAT APP!!!
iamalistar
Wowww!!! This app is truly amazing. This is literally my first time writing a review on an app. I’ve been wanting a way to Gamify my life for a long time now and your app completely provided what I was looking for! Would love to connect with your team for ideas on new app features and promoting the app (I make videos on social media). A couple things I’m wondering if you can add next:1. Can you add more emojis? I’d love to have access to more. 2. Can a task be checked off multiple times in a day? For example, as an actor, I have multiple auditions I need to film. Would love to be able to check off the task of “submitting audition” for each one I do in a day rather than creating multiple of same task.

Missing a Feature
DELoSol
Love this app! The reason for the lack of a star is because I’m still waiting for a customizability feature. This feature in particular is the ability to add GIFs, videos, or moving banners to the tasks, tags, stats, achievements, store items, and profile icons. I want to customize my profile to the fullest extent that could be possible, and to achieve my vision, this feature would need to be added. I constantly check the updates page to see if the requested update has arrived, but alas, I’m still waiting. I would have an even bigger reason to use this app if this feature request was added soon.
Developer Response
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback and for supporting ulives. We’ve recorded this customization request and will continue evaluating it as we improve the app. We can’t promise a specific release date, but your input helps us prioritize future improvements. If you have more suggestions or feedback, please use the feedback form on the About page in the app, or email us at fb@ulives.io.
