I’m building a habit tracker that feels more like an RPG — looking for feedback

Most habit trackers make me feel like I’m doing homework.

Check a box.

Miss a day.

Feel guilty.

Repeat.

So I started building Life Map — a small side project where real-life habits turn into energy, progress, levels, and a personal map.

The idea is simple: instead of tracking habits as boring tasks, I want daily actions to feel like progress in a game.

Current features:

- daily check-ins

- energy points

- habit progress

- life areas balance

- small RPG-style progression

- beta web app

I’m still early and trying to understand one thing:

Would this kind of “RPG for real life” make habits feel more motivating, or would it become another tracker people forget after 3 days?

Would love honest feedback from other builders.

I was sick of boring todo apps, so I built a habit tracker where your life is an RPG map. Here is how it looks.

Hey guys! I’ve tried Notion, Todoist, and dozens of other productivity tools, but for me, they always felt like a second job. Clicking a grey checkbox just didn’t give my brain enough dopamine to keep going.

So, as a developer, I decided to fix my own problem. I built The Life Map — a web app where your daily habits and fitness goals literally shape a visual RPG world.

  • You hit the gym? A new tower is built.
  • You read a book or code? The "fog of war" clears up, revealing new territories.

It's currently in beta and completely free. I just recorded this quick scroll of how my own map looks right now.

Would love to get your honest feedback! What features or building types should I add next? (Link in comments/profile)
