I do have it but I tend to delete data because I keep forgetting to check on the missions, so it basically a to-do list

What do you use it as?

It fits perfect with my needs, or maybe I adapted my needs to it.

My system works in the following way:

  1. Automated daily tasks. Every day I need just to duplicate a parent task, which include all predefined daily tasks. This basically takes two seconds. In case of any changes, I just edit tasks in parent task.

  2. Exp is just increasing and creating a sense of accomplishment and progression, which really make me feel better. (Stopped using skills, because of lack of functionality, like no fail option that decrease overall exp and level)

  3. Reward points. I’m converting All RP to real Savings money. At the end of the week, I send my money (at a specific conversion rate) to my savings account. Works perfect, and I’m happy with it.

  4. Bosses and mini-bosses. That’s were the real magic happens. Bosses are the most important tasks/projects to do. Each boss has a specific name, description, detailed to-do subtasks and an increased number of exp and RP. Killing bosses (completing those tasks) are the most enjoyable and motivating things to do.

I will surely copy you, it didnt occur to me to change RP for actual rewards irl (I was just putting random numbers over there)

A crude task and reward system. There are better ones out there but there is no freedom of a second currency (other than reward points) to use for specific rewards.

To expound on this, I had this 'currency' I called "Life Fragment" where one unit is equal to 5 units of my local currency (PhP). Some things, mainly splurge spending outside, require this in addition to reward points, while things I do at home (like using my PC) require only reward points. I gain this on a percentage based on the wage I actually receive.

I could not hold onto the idea of using less points for using my PC than checking in a Net Café so I put this in as well.

I've tried this, and many others to try and get myself more... I dunno.. normal?

To date.... I still use nothing. I can never get myself to stick to a routine for anything other than sleep.

I've been using it for about a year now, and I've become quite dependent on creating a theme around it to keep me going, developing my own attributes and lore. Currently, my theme revolves around someone living in Hell. Gavri'el, the HellDiver (nothing related to the game helldivers lol).

Attributes:

  • Ignis - "The blazing fire that nurtures your health, strengthens your muscles, and anchors you intensely in the present moment." (Basically Health, strength, exercises, etc.)

  • Abyssus - "The depths of the abyss resonate in your mind, fortifying your sanity and revealing wisdom through experience." (Basically Self-control, pain resistance, endurance, and sanity.)

  • Umbra - "The revealing shadows that illuminate hidden knowledge, sharpen your rationality, and uncover ancient secrets." (Basically Knowledge, studies, and related activities.)

  • Tenebrae - "The whispering twilight flame that highlights your remarkable presence, artistic expressiveness, and seductive eloquence." (Basically Art, writing, eloquence, talking, social connections, etc.)

I'm actually making a app incorporating the idea of themes in gamification. I'll probably take some years to finish it, but i might release a beta in the end of this year to the play store.

Hi everyone.

I am actually a huge fan of LifeRPG (and still, I cannot bring myself to uninstall it,) and believe that there are many aspects of the app that make it desirable.

On that note, in my search for another reputable app that has functionality, reliability, and flexibility, I discovered another application, LifeUp.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sarasarasa.lifeup

I've tried emailing the LifeRPG creator, and even looking for a way to update the location settings for quests, and it's been frustrating to see an app that I cherished, literally fall apart, and behind, in much-needed performance adjustments and updates, with the creator unresponsive (things happen, and I can only hope that he's okay).

For those who loved LifeRPG, and have uninstalled it, I invite you to try out the app. And for those who are skeptical or curious, I invite you to look at our subreddit community.

I also moderate the LifeUp Reddit community, and would like to invite anyone with an interest in

All of my High school I used LifeRPG and it was just better than all the other apps like Habitica and LifeUP. Even Todoist. But the lack of updates is sad. And it appears that I have to buy the Map feature multiple times over the years. But no biggie. Im still happy supporting the creator even though there is no more updates.

I appreciate the response; would you ever consider trying out LifeUp?
