About this app

You spent years keeping your buffs up – now they keep your everyday life on track.

Watering the plants, descaling the coffee machine, taking out the right bin on collection day – the everyday stuff slips through because nothing shows you at a glance when the next task is due. BuffBars turns every task into a buff bar. Keep at it and your rotation keeps running. Let it slide, and before you know it your buff has turned into a debuff.

🏠 Built for your home screen
The widget is the heart of the app: all your buffs at a glance, right on your home screen. One tap and the task is done – no need to open the app.

⏳ Six kinds of tasks
• Target – step by step to your daily goal
• Upkeep – the clock runs from your last tap, from minutes to months
• Deadline – one fixed date, once, every month or every year
• Checklist – several named chips in one row, fresh every day
• Weekly – fixed weekdays, every week or every few weeks
• Series – several rhythms in one row, like the different bins on collection day

⚔️ A little levelling on the side
Earn XP and level up for everything you get done. In the shop you trade XP for new task templates. They bring new icons, and some also unlock new colours. Switch on Buff Mode and your tasks get buff and debuff names. Still not motivated enough? Bad Things lets neglected tasks put a curse on your list – completely optional.

🚫 What BuffBars will never do
• No subscription. Forever.
• No banner ads, no ads that interrupt you. The only video is one you choose to watch.
