Overview
Better Quest is a gamified productivity app concept that reimagines how users can track and build positive habits through simple, satisfying gameplay loops. Designed with the philosophy of “level up your life,” the app encourages users to treat daily goals and self-improvement as heroic quests — creating a sense of progress, reward, and motivation in everyday life.
The project originated as a personal challenge. I had been tracking my healthy habits — like daily walks, keeping the house clean, and maintaining a balanced social life — using a physical whiteboard. While this method worked, I often found myself updating it only once a day, sometimes forgetting details or losing momentum. I wanted a more convenient, engaging way to track habits that felt fun rather than like a chore.
During early exploration, I examined a wide range of productivity apps on the Play Store and quickly noticed a recurring problem: over-complexity. Many apps tried to do too much — adding unnecessary layers of gamification, analytics, or subscription barriers that distracted from their purpose. I identified a gap for a product that focused on simplicity, clarity, and emotional satisfaction, while still maintaining enough structure to drive long-term habit change.
