Gamification helps to look at routine activities in a new way: exercise, calculating income and expenses, sorting garbage, brushing teeth. After all, if there is a special mission, and at the end of it there is a reward, it will be more pleasant to complete even the most boring task. Agree, doing sports, making virtual trips to America, and losing weight, getting paid for it, is much more interesting.

1. Carrot To-do

If Bender from Futurama became a task manager, he would look like Carrot, a virtual assistant in the Carrot To-do app. It reminds about uncompleted tasks: “Time to get to work, lazy leather bag!” She gets angry and turns her eyepiece red when the user does not log into the app for more than a day. And sometimes she publicly shames her protégé, posting on his Twitter a post with the text: “I’m lazy.”

An additional feature of the app is experience points. When enough of them are collected, Carrot opens up new functions. For example, by the fourth level, you can sort tasks by priority, by the sixth – delete tasks. But sometimes Carrot just gives trinkets – for example, a postcard with the word “manatees” in binary code.

Cons of the application: it is only available in English and only for owners of Apple devices.

2. Habitica

This is a habit tracker that looks like an 8-bit game like the famous MMO RPGs. Here you can create and customize your character, join guilds of friends and like-minded people to complete challenges, and also complete quests and defeat monsters to achieve goals.

Habitica has over two million users from different countries, so you can easily find a companion with whom you will, for example, do exercises every day. The only drawback is the clumsy translation in the Russian version of the application.

3. EcoHero

An eco-habit tracker that will help you gradually introduce new “green” initiatives into your life. It allows you to track how eco-friendly your transport, food, or clothing are.

The app also gives you its own assessment of your contribution to environmental protection. For example, it shows how many square meters of forest you have managed to save or how many liters of water you have saved this month. In addition, EcoHiro has a general eco-hero rating, weekly challenges, and a level system — all of which helps maintain motivation.

According to the developers, users of this app have collectively saved 20 million liters of water and significantly reduced CO² emissions — by 67 kg.
