I Have an Idea for an App That Makes It Easier to Stay Motivated—Thoughts?
Hello I’m new to this sub and just want some people to help me with this idea (faults or improvements)
I’ve been thinking about an app, th goal of the app is to help people stay motivated, build better habits, and complete tasks. even the really small ones that can some people can struggle with. Whether you’re trying to improve yourself, take care of your mental health, or just become more consistent, the app would be designed to make progress feel rewarding instead of stressful.
The idea is that you’d have your own character and personal space. Every time you complete tasks you would earn rewards that let you level up your character and upgrade your space. You could start with a simple bedroom and gradually unlock new furniture, decorations, bigger homes, and other customizations as you make progress in real life.
The app would have a form of punishment if you miss a day. Whilst simultaneously it would have a strong focus on celebrating your progress.
I’d want the app to be free for everyone, with maybe a small optional subscription for extra cosmetic items or additional features but nothing that would stop people from using the main app.
Some ideas I’ve thought about include:
Daily habits and custom goals.
Mental health check-ins and mood tracking.
XP and levels for completing real-life tasks.
Leaderboards (friends/or global
Character customization and home upgrades.
Achievements, streaks, and long-term progress.
Maybe even community events or friendly challenges in the future.
I’m curious:
Would you actually use something like this?
What features would make it genuinely helpful instead of just another habit tracker?
Is there anything you’d change or add?
I’d really appreciate any honest feedback, even if it’s critical. I’d rather improve the idea now than build something nobody wants.
