Taskapet

Inspiration

We were inspired by our own chronic procrastination and unproductivity when it comes to homework, chores, and even hobbies we enjoy. Current generations especially struggle with self-discipline and deadlines with the advent of the Internet and smartphones and constant digital vies for your attention. So, we developed an app that both entertains you and incentivizes you to be productive! We modeled our app/game after two productivity apps that had similar intentions called Todoist and Forest.

What it does

Taskapet works just like another task manager similar to Todoist. However, there is also a little blob pet on the right of the screen. With every task you complete successfully, you feed your pet. You need to complete some tasks every single day, or else your pet will starve. Too many days gone without tasks and your pet will die, and you will have to start over with a new pet. There are two types of tasks that you can create within the app:

• Timed tasks ⏲️ - complete these tasks before the timer ends, or else you'll fail. good for things you want to get done quickly (e.g. chores).
• Grind tasks 💪 - these tasks are focused on devoting as much time as you can on it (e.g. studying, reading, and exercising).

How we built it

The entire project was made within the Godot game engine with GDScript. Godot has a lot of potential for application development because of its node based UI system.
