Tasks with character

Finish tasks quests. Become a hero.

TaskAsQuest is a to-do app that does more than sort your day. It gives your everyday work visible feedback: quests, rituals, XP, hero classes, companions - and a clean task mode when fantasy needs a break.

The difference

One app that puts the day in your hands

Most to-do apps ask: what do you want to do today? TaskAsQuest answers that every morning, without making you search, sort or swipe through a long list.

Overdue | Anything that missed its deadline is highlighted at the top in red. In the evening you can move a task directly "to tomorrow" - then it will not be counted as forgotten.

Due today | Dates, duties (quests) or repetitions (rituals) for this exact day. Sorted by urgency, not by creation date.

From your pool | If there is no hard deadline today, the Today page suggests timeless tasks from your own pool. You can also show all quests from there.

With companions | Quests you share with others: shared work (alliance), assigned work (decree) or your own work visible to others (my duty). Everyone sees clearly who does what - no double work, no "I thought you were doing it".

That is the main idea of the app and the thing I missed in other to-do apps.
That is why I built my own.

Two flavours, one app

Hero and realist in the same household

What you see as a quest, someone else can see as a plain task. Same item, same progress, different tone.

Task as Quest

For days that can handle a little pathos

Tasks become quests, routines become rituals, progress becomes XP.

Quest mode list

Task no Quest

For people who just want a good to-do app

The same structure in a calmer, brighter interface without fantasy wording.

Finally remember tasks properly

Progress that looks like progress

Instead of only checking boxes, TaskAsQuest connects your tasks to visible states: hero, status, difficulty, repetition and shared responsibility.

Today

Your day as a quest log

Due, overdue and recurring tasks turn into a clear daily plan with status, XP and feedback.

Hero

Progress you can see

Classes, levels, health, magic and experience make progress visible without bloating your task list.

Companions

Carry quests together

Share tasks as an alliance, hand-off or observation. Useful for couples, households and small teams.

Start in minutes

From an empty account to the first completed quest

The beginning is deliberately short. Choose a mode, create a hero, write your first quest, complete it. After that the app grows with your everyday life.

Tavern

A real break for real progress

The tavern heals your hero and connects the app to real life. It uses fixed daily rhythms instead of unlimited clicking: meal and powernap once per day (reset at midnight), water once per hour. If you want to get healthy again, you have to pause, just like in real life.

The most interesting part is the pantry: enter what you have at home, and the AI suggests dishes you can actually cook, with green/yellow/red status depending on whether the ingredients are there. If nothing fits, it can improvise a meal from your supplies.

🍎

Meal

Once per day - fills you to 90% max HP, no matter how far you fell.

🌙

Powernap

Once per day - +30 HP. A short conscious pause instead of pushing through.

💧

Water

Once per hour - +10 HP. The small reset in between.

Pantry + AI

Enter your ingredients and the AI makes suitable recipe suggestions.

Privately run

No ads, fully built as a private hobby project

I tried a lot of to-do apps. In most of them I eventually ran into ads or a surprisingly expensive subscription. And even then I often stopped opening them, because there was no motivation.

Everywhere I had to set hard weekdays for every routine: "Monday, Wednesday, Friday." But that is not how my life works. I wanted to say: "twice per week, no matter which days" - and I could not find exactly that mechanism. So I built the app that can do it.

TaskAsQuest is privately operated and free for all core features. No ads, no subscription. I rely on voluntary support for running costs.

Get Started

Use it in your browser or install it

Open TaskAsQuest directly as a web app or install it as a PWA. On Android you have two options: use Google Play or download the APK directly without Google. On iPhone, use the web app in your browser for now — a native iOS app is currently beyond my private budget.
