Worth knowing
Habitica
- The vendor lists a website plus Android and iOS apps; no desktop apps are listed.
- Assigning shared tasks to other people needs a Group Plan at $9 a month plus $3 for each additional member.
- Gems, the paid in-app currency for equipment and avatar customizations, are sold separately in packs from $0.99.
- Subscription benefits are in-game items and perks rather than extra task features.
(Not Boring) Habits
- iPhone and iPad only: the support site says no Android versions are planned and there are no standalone Mac apps.
- Habit data is stored on one device and does not sync between devices; it is covered by iCloud Backup, and deleting the app deletes the data.

- There is no free trial of Plus and Family Sharing is not supported; refunds are handled by Apple.
Key features
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.

- A paid Group Plan lets members work from one task board and lets tasks be assigned to any number of members.
- Reminders, widgets and sync
- The mobile apps include reminders and widgets, and progress syncs across devices.
- Open source
- The code is published on GitHub and the project says it will stay open source. Public pull requests have been paused since August 4, 2026.
(Not Boring) Habits
- 60-repetition quest
- Every check-in moves a habit one step along a quest of 60 repetitions and eight levels, revealing another line of its story. Missed days do not reset anything, and logging can continue past 60.
- Daily goals and partial completion
- Set a daily goal such as 5 times or 10,000 steps a day and log it in parts. The habit counts as done for the day once the goal is reached, shown by a progress circle until then.
- Schedules and reminders
- Choose the days a habit applies to and up to 5 times a day for it, with optional push reminders. Reminders are muted when a habit has not been viewed for 7 days.
- Calendar, statistics and recaps
- A calendar view shows completed days year by year, each habit has a statistics page with a total-repetitions chart, and recap notifications can arrive weekly, monthly or yearly.
- Personal Quests
- On a device with Apple Intelligence turned on and set to English, a newly created habit gets a quest story written around it. The vendor says this runs on the device and nothing is shared.
- Widgets and skins
- Home screen widgets show progress for one habit, several habits or the week, and skins change the look and feel of the whole app. Both are part of Plus.
