A gamified to-do list that builds a village

What a finished task becomes

1. Write your quests and rituals. Quests are your one-off tasks, rituals are what comes back every day or every week.
2. Do them in real life and check them off. Checking crosses the line out; the pay comes next.
3. Go to the castle. The elder, the old man in the bear-skull helmet, pays out everything you finished in gold and XP.
4. Build. Pick a free tile and put a building there. Gold builds and upgrades; buildings produce wood, stone and food, and houses bring villagers.
5. Level up. XP raises your level, up to 75. Levels unlock new buildings, higher tiers and more land.

Rewards follow the difficulty you set on each task. Something quick pays little, something hard pays more, and a quota stops you from marking everything as hard.

Watch the village grow

Points and badges are easy to forget. A village is not. You start with a lone house in a clearing; as your real tasks add up come fields, a sawmill, a mine, a market and villagers walking between them. The island is in 3D: turn it, zoom in, look at what last week's work became.

You run it: where each building goes, what to upgrade first, which forest to clear, what to buy at the market. Buildings can be moved or swapped later, when the layout stops suiting you.

A real to-do list underneath

A game on top of a weak list does not last. Taskmura's list holds up at fifty lines:

• priority and difficulty, four steps each, on two separate sliders
• due dates, with an optional time and a reminder in the phone app
• sub-tasks, tags, pinned quests, quests on hold, notes
• sorting and filters

Rituals cover the rest: daily goals, things to do a few times a week, and habits you count day by day (more on the habit tracker side).

What it does not have

Taskmura is solo for now: no parties, bosses or guilds. There is no calendar view, and rituals repeat daily or weekly, not monthly. Coming from Habitica? Here is how the two compare.

Questions

Is Taskmura free?

Yes. No ads, nothing to buy. If paid options come one day, they will buy time or looks, never progress.

Do I need an account?

No. You start straight away and add an email later if you want to keep your village on another device.

Does it work offline?

Yes. What you check without a connection counts for the day you did it, and syncs when the network comes back.

Where does it run?

In the browser on a computer, and in the phone app on Android. The same village everywhere.
