Dayquest: Habits stick when something small depends on them. Turn your days into a quest.
I tried every habit tracker and got bored of all of them. What finally worked was turning the day into a small RPG, with a pixel-art hero who grows when I do the boring stuff.
Your habits, dailies and to-dos power a pixel hero. Finish things and it levels up, finds pets, furnishes a home and beats bosses; skip your dailies and it gets hurt. Like Habitica, with richer pixel art, kinder mornings and content built to last for years. Free, no ads, no account.

What’s inside
Habits, dailies, to-dos
- / − habits, dailies on chosen weekdays or every N days, to-dos with due dates and checklists that open right in the list. Neglected tasks turn red and pay more.
A living pixel scene
Hero, pet and boss under a dithered sky that follows the real clock: dawn, sunset, stars and fireflies. Six places to unlock.
Boss fights
Finished tasks hit the boss, sometimes critically; missed dailies let it hit back. Numbers, sparks and coins fly across the scene.
88 pets
8 species × 11 hatching potions. Pick an egg and a potion in one card, see who hatches, feed them their favourite food.
Gear you can see
Every sword, robe, hat and shield changes your stats and your sprite. The shop lets you try it on before buying.
Real seasons
Blossom, summer, falling leaves and snow in every scene, with a seasonal potion, hat and boss. A switch for the southern hemisphere.
The endless forge
From level 20, a new tier of gear every 5 levels: rare, epic, legendary. It never runs out.
Bosses that come back
Beaten bosses return as Elite, Ancient and Mythic, recoloured and tougher. A new boss of the week arrives every Monday.
A home to furnish
27 pieces of furniture, wallpapers and floors. The fireplace glows at night and the window shows the real sky.
Achievements that need time
47 of them, from a 7-day streak to five years together, plus a yearly chronicle of what you got done.
Kind mornings, exact undo
Tick off yesterday’s dailies before the day closes, move the day start for late nights, rest at the inn when ill, and undo any tap.
A gentle start
A short illustrated guide before you create your hero, and a one-time tip on each screen the first time you open it.
Your hero moves with you
No account: send yourself a file or a one-line code and import it on the new phone.

Good to know
Is it really free?
Yes. Every feature is unlocked, with no ads, no gems to buy and no subscription.
How do I move my hero to a new phone?
Settings → Move your progress: send a file or copy a one-line code, then on the new phone choose I already have a hero and import it.
Won’t I run out of things to unlock?
No. Seasons follow the calendar, the forge adds a tier every 5 levels, bosses return in stronger ranks and a new boss arrives every week.
Is anything sent anywhere?
No. No accounts, no servers, no analytics, and the app has no internet permission. Everything lives in a local database on the phone.
