About Habitica
Habitica treats real life like a game. Habits, daily tasks and to-dos become part of a role-playing game, so completing them rewards your character and skipping them costs you.
The idea is to make building habits and working through task lists more motivating through game mechanics. It is used in the browser and suits people who find ordinary to-do apps easy to ignore and respond better to rewards and progress.
Strengths

- Combines habits, dailies and to-dos

- Game elements may distract people who want a plain task list
