Let’s talk productivity apps! I’m specifically interested in those silly little gamified ones where you do irl tasks and hold yourself to commitments and in return you progress in the app’s game

I’ve really ever only used one called Run Zombies Run (iirc. It was like 10 years ago). That was a running/walking one and the more you went on runs the more your character went on supply runs. I liked it. But I didn’t like it more than I dislike running!

Anyway, my pal mentioned this silly cutesy one called FINCH where you have a bird companion and raise the lil freak. The game aspect isn’t quiiite there for me, you’re just doing your tasks, getting points for them, and sending your boi on one adventure per day using those points. But there’s nothing to the adventure sadly

I’m still kinda liking it, though I fear I’ll stop using it after three days. But maybe I won’t! Who knows

Does anyone have any productivity apps that they use and like? Any recs?? Gamified ones are ideal for me over organizational ones. I’m perfectly productive without the aid of one but I still kinda like the idea and would like to enjoy one long(er) term

Also if anyone wants to try Finch and be my pal on there let me know and I’ll send you my code before you join so I can get a llama pet :love:

I will try Finch so you can get your llama

I also tried one forever ago that helped me drink more water. You basically logged when you finished a glass and raised plants tamagotchi style and it helped me a lot. I only quit after I started just being able to do it on my own and didn’t need the guidance of the plant baby anymore

Sometimes we all just need plant baby guidance

I think you can give them nicknames! Probably just replaces the name

i count DuoLingo as a daily gamified app which has the benefit of teaching me elementary grade espanol

That counts fursure
