The report card
Best for turning tasks into quests with a focus timer
Habit Quest turns tasks into quests you plan in a web dashboard, with a Chrome extension for focus timers and site blocking. The timers and blocking only run on desktop Chrome, and charts and the daily quest pool need Premium at $5 a month.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Premium is $5.00 a month, level with the $4.99 middle for habit trackers. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Free covers quests, focus timers, site blocking and basic analytics, with a daily limit of 300 gold. One person could live on it. |
| Features | C | Quests, focus timer, site blocking, gold and character items. Historical charts and the daily quest pool are Premium. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You sign in with Google and build your own quests, which takes some setup. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web dashboard plus a desktop Chrome extension. No phone app on the pages read. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Habit Quest is for

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
You could make this
A habit tracker at its plainest is a list of habits, a tick for each day and a count of the streak.
What Habit Quest does at its core is tasks, habit tracking, Pomodoro timer and goals, and that is the kind of thing an AI app builder makes well. You would give up one thing, listed below, and little else. It costs $60 a year. An AI app builder starts at about $20 a month on our listings, and you only need it while you build.
What you could make
- Tasks, habit tracking, Pomodoro timer and goals: an app builder makes these well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- Blocking that reaches every browser and app and is hard to switch off.
What this rests on. Habit Quest’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
