Every task gets a little character who's counting on you. Finish in time and they thrive. Put it off… and watch their whole world slowly fall apart.
Available on iOS and Android
This is what a task looks like in the app — watch how your buddy reacts across the lifecycle of “clean the kitchen.”
New Task: Clean the kitchen
Type what you need to do and choose a character. We generate a custom illustration of them doing your task — happy, motivated, ready.
Overdue by 3 days
Set when it's due. As the clock ticks, your buddy's scene reacts — the longer you wait, the rougher things get for them.
3-Day Streak Complete
Check the task off and the whole scene snaps back to sunshine. Build streaks, collect happy endings, feel weirdly accomplished.
A growing cast of characters, each with their own art style and their own way of falling apart. Or generate one from your own photo.
For tasks you keep dodging, you can turn the pressure up. Each buddy carries a stress level that climbs the longer you ignore them — and if it maxes out, they walk.
When your buddy leaves, they're gone for good: no bringing them back, no refund, no second chances.
⚠️ This mode is intentionally unforgiving — losing a buddy is permanent and non-refundable. Most people never need it; it's built for the deadlines that genuinely won't move.
Every hour you put a task off, your buddy's stress level ticks upward. You can feel the clock in their face.
Let stress max out and your buddy walks out permanently. There's no winning them back and no refund — they're gone, streaks and all.
Off by default. Flip it on per task only when you want real stakes — and switch it back off the moment you don't.
“I have abandoned every productivity app in existence. This is the only one I haven't quit, because I literally cannot let the little guy down.”
“Watching my task buddy slowly descend into a thunderstorm is the most motivated I've been in years. Therapy is cheaper than this is effective.”
“My sister and I share characters now. If I'm late she texts me a screenshot of the sad otter. Brutal. Effective.”
“I finally did my taxes a week early. Not for me — for a cartoon koala who was visibly stressed about it. Whatever works.”
“My to-do list used to be a graveyard. Now it's a tiny world I'm responsible for, and somehow that changed everything.”
“I showed my therapist the app and she just nodded slowly. Three weeks in and my streak is longer than any habit I've ever kept.”
Beta pricing, locked in for early adopters. Cancel anytime — but the koala will know.
A little! But a gentle, encouraging one. The point is to make an abstract deadline feel real and cared-about. When you finish, you get a genuinely satisfying happy ending — not just a checkmark.
We generate a custom illustration of your chosen character actually doing your specific task, then create the "deteriorating" variations of that same scene. Pick from our cast or make your own.
You're in control. You can dial the drama from "gentle wilting" to "full disaster movie," mute scenes for sensitive tasks, or switch a buddy to encouragement-only mode.
On Pro, yes — tasks and due dates sync both ways with your calendar and system reminders, so your buddies always know the real deadline.
