Habitica treats your real life like a game. Habits, daily tasks and to-dos earn experience and gold for your avatar, and missed tasks cost health. You can join parties, fight monsters together and spend gold on gear. It is popular with people who find ordinary to-do lists hard to stick with.
- Habits, dailies and to-dos that earn rewards
- Parties and group quests
- Free web and mobile apps
- Open API for your own tools
Great for: People who stick to routines better when it feels like a game.

Can I trust it?
- GPL-3.0-only. Free to use and change. If you share your changed version with other people (give them the code or app), you must share your source code under the same licence. Using it privately for yourself or your household has no extra obligations. Some artwork is under separate Creative Commons licences, one of which forbids commercial use. Check before reusing images.
- Your data: stores personal data, on your own device or server. A MongoDB database.
- Other services: MongoDB (required, free locally); Email provider (optional) (optional, usually free to a few dollars)
- Reviewed version. Your AI always gets exactly the version we've checked.
- Your API token acts like a password. Never paste it into an AI chat or commit it.
- A self-hosted copy needs MongoDB. Keep it off the public internet.
