What is Habitica?
Habitica is a game-focused habit-tracker.
You can track habits and tasks - but the unique difference is it is like a game, allowing you to create worlds, add rules, and build lists that are rewarded for each time you complete them. Collecting items and building your character's virtual journey is one of the key objectives to Habitica.
You can also connect with friends and others to build spaces together.

Best Suited for?
Habitica presents a fun way to handle habits and tasks.
It could be viewed as something a bit more distracting from actual work, managing all this virtual world - when the world around you could be more pressing. But for many Habitica has given them an opportunity to structure their habits and tasks in a much more appealing fashion.
We wouldn't recommend this for everyone, but Habitica presents a great starting point for gamifying your habits and seeing what major tasks you can do on your journey too.
