Productivity That Actually Feels Like a Game

Key features
- XP and coins for every session. Finish a Pomodoro, complete a habit, or close a task and you earn coins and experience points immediately. Levels build over time so consistent effort compounds into something visible.
- Custom Rewards Vault. Most reward apps decide what you should want. Dabadoro lets you define your own rewards and set the price. A gaming hour, a coffee, a movie night, whatever actually moves you.
- Streaks that make consistency visible. Every habit grows a streak. A GitHub-style heatmap shows you months of consistency at a glance so momentum stops being invisible.
- Play inside a real productivity system. The game never stands alone. XP and coins come from real tasks, real habits, and real focus time inside a full daily planner with analytics, so the score is anchored to actual work.
Frequently asked questions
How do custom rewards work?
You define the rewards that motivate you personally (a coffee break, a gaming session, a movie night) and set their price in coins. You can only redeem them once you've earned enough coins through real work.
Can I cheat the system?
You're only cheating yourself. Coins only come from completed tasks, habits, or Pomodoro sessions. You set your own prices, so the honest loop is built on trust with yourself.
Is there a leaderboard?
Not yet. A global leaderboard for friendly competition is on the roadmap. For now, the focus is personal progress rather than external ranking.
What is XP used for?
XP builds your profile level over time. It's a visible record of consistent effort that does not reset, so you always see long-term momentum.
Is Dabadoro a Habitica alternative?
Dabadoro is a desktop-first app that ties gamification to a full productivity system, including Pomodoro, a daily planner, and analytics. If you want a gamified habit tracker that also handles tasks, focus, and scheduling in one calm interface, Dabadoro is a strong alternative.
Is it free?
Yes. Dabadoro is free to download and use on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The rewards, XP, streaks, and custom vault are available on the free tier.
