Check Yeah vs Habitica: taking damage vs taking a rest day.
Habitica turns your to-do list into a role-playing game: check off dailies to earn gold and gear, miss them and your avatar takes damage. Free with an optional subscription; iOS, Android, and web.
Check Yeah is a habit tracker that doesn’t guilt-trip you, built by someone with ADHD. Rest days keep your streak, nothing ever turns red, and it catches the one-off “don’t forget” thoughts too. Here’s where the two actually differ.
| Check Yeah | Habitica | |
|---|---|---|
| When you miss a day | Nothing turns red. Take a rest day and the chain holds; skip it and you just see “Ready when you are.” | Your avatar takes damage and can lose a level. You can “rest in the inn” to pause damage. |
| Platforms | iPhone, Android, and web, one account, offline widgets that sync when you're back. | iOS, Android, and web. |
| Price | Free plan with 5 habits and unlimited one-offs, no card. Premium $4.99/month or $39.99/year, cancel anytime. | Free, with an optional monthly subscription for cosmetics and gems. |
| One-off “don't forget” tasks | Say “grab the mail when I get home” to Siri, a widget, the share sheet, or the Android tile. It lands on the right day and disappears when done. | To-dos are supported alongside dailies and habits; capture is inside the app. |
| Stuck on a task | AI micro-stepping (Premium) turns “Clean the kitchen” into five tiny first steps. | Checklists you write yourself under a task. |
| Sensory load | Low-stimulation mode, soft palette, true dark mode, OpenDyslexic option. | Pixel-art RPG interface with a lot going on: stats, gear, quests, chat. |

Pick Habitica if…
The game loop genuinely motivates you, you want a party of friends holding you accountable, and a little punishment keeps you honest.
Pick Check Yeah if…
You’ve quit a habit app the day you missed a day. You want your streak to survive a bad Tuesday, one account across iPhone, Android, and web, and a place to throw “call the vet Friday” without opening anything.
Try it free. No card, no streak to lose.
Unlimited one-offs and 5 habits on the free plan, for as long as you like. Premium adds unlimited habits, AI micro-stepping, and unlimited rest days.
