Habitica
Habitica is a gamified task and habit tracker that turns daily chores, one-off to-dos and habits into an RPG character with health, gold and quests. Entries are sorted into dailies, to-dos and habits, and missed dailies cost the avatar health while completed ones earn experience.

What users say
Pros
- Turns chores and habits into game progress, which gets everyday tasks done instead of avoided.
- Party quests tie skipped dailies to shared damage, which creates pressure to finish tasks.
- Provides outside structure that helps ADHD and AuDHD routines start and stick.
- Long-term use runs for years, with daily streaks reaching four thousand days.
Cons
- No calendar view or flexible filtering, so a long to-do list turns unmanageable.
- Tasks that repeat every few days rather than a fixed day have to be recreated by hand.
- Missing a daily costs health and gold, which turns a bad day into a penalty.
- Character gear and cosmetics cost gems, so the game rewards stall without paying.
- Guilds and the tavern were shut down, leaving fewer places to find an active party.
- The web app throws server and bad gateway errors that block tasks and sign-in.
