Habitica
What it is
Habitica turns habits, daily goals, and to-do lists into tasks with game rewards. Completing a task can advance an avatar and unlock armor, pets, skills, and quests; users can also spend in-game gold on equipment or custom rewards. Friends can fight monsters together to support shared accountability. Group Plans add a shared task board and a dedicated chat, where members can assign tasks or leave them open as challenges. Group Plan members also receive a Jackalope Mount and subscription benefits such as monthly equipment sets and the ability to buy Gems with Gold. Habitica has a free plan listed as free, and an optional Group Plan listed at $9 a month, plus $3 per additional member. Group subscriptions renew automatically and are billed according to group size. The service is available on Android, iOS, web, and API, and publishes V3 API documentation for third-party tools. Its iOS app lists optional in-app purchases and subscriptions.
