  I’m trying it now, thanks. It seemed a bit too much when I considered it once but I can see the appeal.

    As someone that likes the spirit behind Habitica and has tried it a few times – also contributed some bugfixes I desperately needed – I’m curious what you found a bit too much, since I felt the same way. I’ve toyed in my head with the idea of making a similar app, still heavily-inspired by gaming but without diving deep into the 16-bit RPG pixel atmosphere and the baggage that carries.

      It just seems a bit optimized for people who actually love RPGs in all their complexity with different items and stuff, when I might prefer something that has a game aspect while staying quite simple. I’m less motivated by the possibility of spending gold coins to buy a new hat for my avatar than I am by simple and beautiful app interactions and just managing to remember and track my real life duties and desires. But I’m giving Habitica a try, I never actually played it before. So far it seems fun.

        You seem like me a bit. I also wanted app like this to track and improve habits. Habitica, while interesting, just took too much time and effort. I've since started using 'Loop habit tracker' for about a year now and I prefer it's simplicity much more.
