Gamified habit tracker for mental health

Create a self-care app where progress unlocks pet interactions. Combines wellness tracking with casual gaming mechanics.

Why now

Mental health apps are trending, but most lack engagement—gamification drives daily retention.

Who for
Young adults managing stress
Business model
In-app purchases
Effort
A few weeks

People download wellness apps but rarely stick with them. A tamagotchi-style companion that evolves based on real habit completion (hydration, meditation) could improve adherence.

MVP: Basic pet with 3 daily habits. Monetize through cosmetic pet accessories or advanced analytics.

Risk: Overlap with existing mental health apps.
