The personal growth RPG that celebrates what you actually did
Log real-world efforts and earn XP, level up character attributes, complete quests, and build a settlement — without a single streak, punishment mechanic, or shame message in sight. Built for ADHD, autism, burnout, and anyone who's felt like every other app was designed against them.
Free forever. No credit card required.
What we don't do
- No streaks
- No broken-streak screens
- No shame language
- No missed-day warnings
- No punishment mechanics
- No ads, ever
- No pay-to-win
- No HP loss
Traditional apps track what you failed to do.
Progress Vault celebrates what you actually did.
Streaks reset. HP drains. Missed days become shame spirals. If you have ADHD, burnout, executive dysfunction, or any reason your consistency isn't predictable — most apps are working against you. Progress Vault doesn't track failure. It accumulates effort, permanently, without judgment.
How it works
Four steps. Zero punishment.
- 1
Log anything
A walk, a chapter, a rest day, ten minutes of cleaning. Custom activities too.
- 2
Earn XP
Your effort is translated into XP that flows into your character's 9 attributes.
- 3
Level up
Attributes level up as XP accumulates. Quests complete. Journeys advance.
- 4
Build your world
Your settlement grows with you — zones unlock as your attributes develop.
Built for people other apps leave behind
Progress Vault isn't optimized for already-consistent high-achievers. It's designed for everyone else.
ADHD & Executive Dysfunction
Log sub-steps and earn XP for activation energy alone. Starting is the hardest part — we reward just that. No streaks to protect, ever.
Autism & Sensory Processing
Calm, low-stimulation design. No flashing alerts, no urgent notifications, no gamification that rewards panic. Your pace is the right pace.
Burnout & Chronic Illness
Rest is logged. Hydration is logged. 'Survival days' are recognized. You don't need to perform wellness — you need to accumulate it.
Anxiety & Perfectionism
No failure states. No public comparison. Progress is private, permanent, and yours. Missing a day changes nothing about what you've built.
RPG & Gaming Fans
Real XP for real effort. Character sheets, attributes, quests, journeys, and a settlement that reflects your actual life story.
Anyone tired of shame loops
Traditional apps market discipline but deliver guilt. If you've tried and abandoned every habit tracker, Progress Vault was designed for you.
Everything your progress deserves
A full life-progression system, not just a checkbox app.
XP for Every Effort
Log a walk, a chapter, a rest day — everything earns XP and advances your attributes. Partial counts. Preparation counts. Survival counts.
Daily, Weekly & Epic Quests
Auto-generated quests give you optional targets without pressure. Complete them for bonus XP. Ignore them with zero penalty.
Executive Function Support
Break any task into micro-steps. Earn XP just for putting on your shoes. The activation energy to start is real — we reward it.
Settlement Building
Your real-world efforts build a persistent world. Roads, libraries, forges, villages — each zone grows from the activities that feed it.
Journey Quantification
See your effort in perspective: "You've walked 18% of the route from Hobbiton to Rivendell." Real comparisons, real meaning.
Narrative Content Packs
Choose your story theme — Generic, Cozy village, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, or fandom packs. The same activities, told your way.
9 attributes. Every part of your life.
Your character sheet reflects your whole life — not just how many steps you walked or calories you burned. Rest builds Recovery. Cleaning builds Stewardship. Calling a friend builds Connection.

See your effort in perspective
Progress Vault's Journey Quantification Engine translates cumulative effort into meaningful real-world comparisons. Your consistency becomes a story you can see.
"You've traveled 18% of the route from Hobbiton to Rivendell."
"You've read the equivalent of 4 Fellowship of the Ring novels."
"You've lifted the equivalent weight of a fully grown elephant."
"You've consumed enough water to fill a small hot tub."
"You've slept enough to complete a voyage across the Atlantic."
"You've tended enough to fill a woodland market basket."

Frequently asked questions
- Is Progress Vault free to use?
- Yes — completely free, no ads, no tricks. The free tier includes unlimited activity logging, full character progression, and daily quests. Premium ($6/month) expands the world with unlimited quests, epic journeys, and more narrative themes.
- Are there streaks or punishment if I miss a day?
- Zero. No streaks exist in Progress Vault. Your character doesn't lose levels. Your settlement doesn't decay. Nothing negative happens for taking a break. This is a hard design principle, not a feature toggle.
- How is this different from Habitica or other habit apps?
- Most gamified apps still punish you — HP loss, broken streaks, public failure states. Progress Vault is pure positive reinforcement. Your progress permanently accumulates. We also have the Journey Quantification Engine that gives real-world context to your cumulative effort.
- Does it work for ADHD and executive dysfunction?
- It was built with ADHD in mind from the start. The Executive Function step system rewards activation energy — you get XP for sub-tasks like finding your shoes before a walk. Shame-free language is enforced at every layer of the app.
- What activities can I track?
- Virtually anything: fitness (walks, runs, yoga, strength training), knowledge (reading, courses, audiobooks), creativity (writing, art, music), stewardship (cleaning, cooking, budgeting), social connection, rest, hydration, meditation, and custom activities you define yourself.
- What is the Founder tier?
- A one-time $100 payment for lifetime Premium access, a permanent Founder badge, and every future premium feature. Strictly limited to 500 people. Once sold out, it closes permanently — no exceptions.
