Key features
Habitica

- 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.

Life Reset
- 66-day custom program
- An onboarding questionnaire produces an assessment and a habit program built around your goals. Tasks can be added or deleted later, and their intensity, frequency and schedule adjusted.
- Daily quests, XP and streaks
- Completing daily tasks earns XP and levels. A day counts toward the streak once at least two tasks are done, and streak milestones run from 7 to 132 days.
- Hard Mode
- An optional strict mode: a missed day sends you back to Day 1, the program cannot be edited, skipping a task carries a penalty and one skip day is allowed.
- Character Mode and Season Challenge
- Character Mode turns the program into an RPG with stats, boss fights and gear. Seasons are timed leagues in which XP sets your rank on a global leaderboard.
- Mini tools
- Built-in tools include guided meditation with an AI voice, a focus timer, book summaries, a screen blocker, a workout counter and an AI calorie tracker.
- Friends and widgets
- Invite friends by code to join the same season and follow each other's progress. Home Screen widgets keep daily quests and streaks visible when the app is closed.
