Six attributes grow from your quests, Side Quests and raids. A workout raises Strength and reading raises Intellect. Rest days never lower them.

Showing up for others
Trained by Every raid check-in, and any quest you set to train it
A quest trains up to two attributes. Its tags suggest them, and you can change them. Each Side Quest trains the attribute of its prompt.
With cloud backup on, your journal counts too: an entry trains Wisdom, logged sleep trains Vitality, and buffs like Friends or Family train Charisma.
When your two strongest attributes both reach level 3, they set your class. There are 15, like Ironheart, Bard, Sage and Druid. Each attribute has its own tree with titles at levels 5, 10, 15 and 20, and you pick one to show on your profile.
The sheet shows all six attributes with their levels, your class and the title you chose. Level 10 in an attribute also unlocks a frame for your avatar.
After a week with gains, a sealed scroll waits on Home on Monday. It shows what each attribute gained, a note from Misa, and a shortcut for an attribute that rested.
Undo is exact. Uncheck a quest and it takes back what checking gave: the XP, the level, the attribute XP and, if it was that day's only check-in, the day shown up.
English, Español, Deutsch, Português (Brasil), Français, Italiano and Polski. Change it in Settings or on the sign-in screen. Each language has its own Notice Board.
Use Google, Apple on iPhone and iPad, or email. Next time, the account you used before is one tap away.
Light, Dark or Auto, plus a High Contrast switch. Three text sizes, the OpenDyslexic font, and Reduce Motion.
A habit tracker built around real life
CheckMate is a gamified habit tracker for people who want motivation without punishment. Plan a small daily quest, check it off for XP and grow the attribute it trains, focus alongside other players, or turn a shared goal into a co-op raid.
Schedule a habit every day, on weekdays, on weekends, on the days you pick, or once. Each check-in earns XP, and rarer quests earn more.
A missed day never lowers your days shown up or your attributes, and there's no HP to lose. Only undo takes something back: uncheck a quest and it returns exactly what checking gave.
Invite friends into a co-op raid with one daily goal, or join a focus room. Your party carries you on the hard days, and you carry them on theirs.
What each part of the app does.
Any habit, on your own schedule.
One daily goal, shared with your party.
See what your better days had in common.
Focus alone or with up to 4 others.
XP, levels and badges you can watch grow.
Your stats, built from your days.
Quests and raids from other players, in your language.
What I've shipped and what's next. Built in the open, shaped by your feedback.
CheckMate 2.0: a character that grows with what you do. Six attributes (Strength, Vitality, Craft, Intellect, Wisdom and Charisma) grow from your quests, Side Quests and raids. Classes, titles and frames come as they level up, and rest days never lower them.
After a week with gains, a sealed scroll waits on Home on Monday with what grew.
Unchecking a quest now takes back exactly what checking gave.
Every raid has one daily goal, and a check-in trains that goal's attribute plus Charisma.
Sign in with Google, or with Apple on iPhone and iPad.
CheckMate now speaks 7 languages, and each one has its own Notice Board.
Skies follow the seasons, and the journal form is new.
A look at what I'm exploring next. I ship when it feels right, so there are no firm dates.
More ways to grow together. I keep working on co-op raids and focus rooms so that showing up with your people stays the best part.

Built by one ADHD brain, two cats with opinions, and a fiancée who checks I'm still alive when the hyperfocus hits 20 hours.
No investors, no big team. Just us, and each of them helps in their own way.
I grew up being told what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. For years I assumed that was the only way: follow someone else's system, stick to someone else's rules.
Got diagnosed with ADHD recently, but I'd lived with it my whole life without knowing. Finally understood what was going on: why my head feels like five radio stations playing at once.
Best thing I learned was to stop fighting it. When something grabs me (this project, electronics, sim racing, drawing), I just go. Used to think the hyperfocus was a problem. Turns out it's how I get anything done.
You don't need a long run of perfect days to improve. You just need today. Every action you take, however small, moves you forward.
Everyone is different. That's why CheckMate doesn't force one approach. Simple quests for daily wins. Adventures with others when you need that energy. A private journal when you need to reflect. Pick what works, ignore what doesn't.
You are enough. Your path is yours. Never compare it to anyone else's.
CheckMate is on the App Store and Google Play.
