Such applications (and I mean todo managers here) are needed so that you don't have to keep all the things in your mind and can quickly write them down even on the go. They serve as electronic notebooks. The latter don't require internet connection to create a task or grocery list etc. And Habitica does, sadly. That's a breaking "feature" for me so I didn't go further creating my virtual hero in the Android application. Keep that in mind while considering using Habitica.

I like the idea of gamification. It reminds me of the XKCD comic about leveling up in real life. But I would prefer separate apps for habit formation and task lists. Also, the style is too nerdy for me. I don't play the kinds of games that this imitates.

Ignoring the gamification element of this application and just looking at its functionality as a todo list manager and habit manager, this is the only app which checks ALL of my boxes without a paywall. Web/mobile sync, tasks and subtasks, reminders (🤬 todoist), repeating tasks, and of course habits. The "freemium" is just for extras, mostly vanity items (which support the devs).

The gamification element does help too, although I haven't really gone in-depth in it yet. You gain levels/items/currency from doing tasks and good habits, you lose health from succumbing to bad habits.

Overall, I think this app is a viable replacement for any to do list app if you can get through the lengthy intro, and I look forward to having it help me manage ADHD and remember to do stuff.
