Pyramids turns the things you keep putting off into a game worth playing.
Every task is an enemy on the battlefield. Every task you finish becomes a brick in a
pyramid that grows taller the more you do. Instead of a flat list that makes you feel
behind, you get a world that rewards showing up.
FOCUS BATTLES
Pick a task, choose anywhere from 1 to 60 minutes, and set your phone face down. Stay
present and you chip away at the enemy; get distracted and it heals. It is a gentle nudge
to do one thing at a time — and it actually feels good to win.
PRESENCE — BREATHE AND RESET
Take a moment in the Presence tab with guided breathing: Box, 4-7-8, or the Physiological
Sigh. Each cycle earns a small reward and charges a Steady Breath for a calmer start to
your next battle.
BUILD YOUR PYRAMID
Finished tasks don't just disappear. They stack into a pyramid you can look back on, so
your effort is something you can see instead of something you forget.
HABITS THAT COME BACK
Set daily or weekly recurring tasks for the routines you're building, and get gentle
reminders so you don't lose your streak.
BREAK BIG THINGS DOWN
Stuck on something huge? Split it into smaller steps so the first move feels possible.
An optional AI helper can suggest the steps for you (bring your own Anthropic API key —
it stays on your device).
EARN AND CUSTOMIZE
Win battles to earn coins, then spend them in the shop on accents, battlefield backdrops,
monster skins, and power-ups. Make it yours.
A CALMER WAY TO BE PRODUCTIVE
Pyramids is designed to feel encouraging, not nagging — a retro, dungeon-crawler take on
self-care and getting things done. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Your data stays on
your device.
Start small. Win one battle. Lay one brick.

THE TRADING POST OPENS
Pyramids now has a completely optional way to support the adventure:
- PYRAMIDS PLUS — a subscription for the devoted: unlimited task slots,
exclusive cosmetics, two arcane relics included (the Oracle's Eye and the
Blood Pact), and the new Deep History ledger — your focus archetype, peak
power hour, a 14-day momentum chart, mastery by difficulty, and your
all-time records. Monthly or annual, both with a 7-day free trial.
Everything you could do before stays free — Plus adds, it never takes away.
- THE GEM VAULT — gems are a new premium currency you can exchange for
coins whenever the shop tempts you. Gems are yours for keeps: they survive
every reset, and they're backed up to your own iCloud.
YOUR PROGRESS, BACKED UP
Coins, streaks, and unlocks now back up quietly to your personal iCloud — get a
new phone, keep your pyramid. No account needed; the data lives in your own
Apple storage and never reaches us.
BOUNTIES ON THE BATTLEFIELD
Foes that grow restless or enraged now carry a bounty — +15% and +30% extra
coins and XP when you finally strike them down — and the battle recommender
points you at the biggest payday first. Neglect became opportunity.
A FRESH COAT OF GOLD
Coins now gleam with a proper amber coin icon everywhere rewards appear, and
reward text shows the coin right inline. New retro accent themes let you
restyle the app's chrome to your taste. Plus: equipped cosmetics can now be
unequipped right from the shop to return to the classic look.
SMOOTHER & MORE RELIABLE
- Defeating, deleting, or editing a Nemesis task now always updates your relic
bonuses immediately.
- Purchase rewards and battle loot are credited exactly once — even if the app
closes at the worst possible moment.
- Insight stats now break ties sensibly when picking your peak focus hour.
- Fixed a rare crash when opening the task list right as a pact expired.
PLEASE NOTE
Pyramids now requires iOS 15 or later.
No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Your data stays on your device — and, if you
like, in your own iCloud.
