What Habitica does
-
Your tasks become a game
You make an avatar, and checking off habits, daily tasks and to-dos earns gold, experience and items.
-
Friends and challenges
Parties let you team up with friends and fight foes by finishing tasks; challenges and guilds share task lists and interests.
-
Three kinds of tasks
Habits you do any number of times, dailies that repeat on a schedule, and one-off to-dos.
The apps, one by one
-
Do It Now
Best for: Another RPG to-do list
- Who it suits
- You like the game but want to shape your own skills and rewards.
- What stands out
- Tasks raise your hero's skills and characteristics and earn experience to level up, and you spend gold on rewards you set for yourself.
- Good to know
- Its own site links to Google Play only, so it is an Android pick.
-
Finch
Best for: A gentler game with a pet
- Who it suits
- You want the rewards without the battles, in a softer self-care app.
- What stands out
- Short check-ins and self-care exercises help a small pet grow and go on adventures.
- Good to know
- It is a self-care app first, with mood checks and journaling beside the goals.
-
Habit Rabbit
Best for: A pet and a leaderboard
- Who it suits
- You like a little friendly competition and a pet to dress up.
- What stands out
- Completing habits levels up your rabbit and earns carrots for furniture, and a global leaderboard shows other people's rabbits.
- Good to know
- It also has mood notes, a timer and a to-do list, so it is more than a habit list.
-
Forest
Best for: Focus time as a game
- Who it suits
- Your habit is mostly about staying off your phone to study or work.
- What stands out
- A tree grows while you stay focused and withers if you leave early, and you can plant together with friends.
- Good to know
- It is a focus timer, not a habit list.
-
Habitify
Best for: Clear tracking, no game
- Who it suits
- You are ready to drop the game and want clear charts and reminders.
- What stands out
- Daily, weekly or custom schedules, streaks and a calendar, the choice to skip a day or pause a habit, and friendly challenges.
- Good to know
- It does a lot, from timers to health app links, so it is more than a simple checklist.
-
Cozy Made by us
Best for: Cute and calm, no game
- Who it suits
- You want something calmer than a game that still feels fun to open.
- What stands out
- Habit cards with hand-drawn stickers fill with color as you tick them, and you can skip a busy day or pause a habit without losing your streak.
- Good to know
- There is no game, pet, party or to-do list. It needs an account and is only for habits.

Moving from Habitica? Start with three or four habits instead of your whole list. How to build a habit and habit stacking help the new ones stick.
How we compared
- We read each app's own App Store and Google Play listings and its own website in November 2026, and wrote down only what they say, in our own words. Nothing here comes from reviews or other comparison sites.
- In the feature table, Yes means the app's own listing or site says so. No is used only for phones, where an app's own site names the others. Not listed means we did not find it there: the app may still have it.
- We left out prices, ratings and download counts. They change often and differ by country, so check each app's store listing for what it costs today.
- Cozy is made by us, Pixelbrew Studio. We placed it by who it suits, like every other app, and listed its limits too. If something here is out of date, tell us through Support at the foot of the page.
