Life areas and vision

Write a vision for each area of your life and file goals under it. The free plan has 9 life areas; custom life areas need Premium.

Goals with subgoals and metrics

A goal is built from subgoals, projects, tasks and habits and measured with success metrics. Subgoals and the goal timeline are Premium features.

Habit tracker

Habits are connected to the goals they support, with statistics and reminders on every plan. Habit targets are part of Premium.

Tasks and projects

Tasks can be tied to a goal or stand alone, grouped into projects and filtered with smart lists: 3 on the free plan, unlimited on Premium.

Calendar and time blocking

Day, week and month calendar views show Google Calendar and Outlook events beside focus blocks. Time blocking and two-way calendar sync need Premium.

Goals and habit dashboard

Premium adds a dashboard that tracks progress on goals and habits over time.

Habitica

Habits, Dailies and To Do's

Habits are positive or negative actions logged as they happen, Dailies repeat on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule, and To Do's are one-off tasks.

RPG rewards

Finished tasks earn gold, experience and items for a customizable avatar, and missed ones cost health points. Rewards to spend gold on can be customized.

Parties and Quests

Friends team up in a Party for accountability and take on Quests together, which award Pets and Equipment.

Group Plans

A paid Group Plan lets members work from one task board and lets tasks be assigned to any number of members.
