About this app

Hard Reset: the free to-do list and habit tracker that's an actual fun game.

Every other "gamified" productivity app is a progress bar and a badge for brushing your teeth. This is not. Hard Reset turns your real tasks, habits, and routines into the fuel for a full cyberpunk roguelike strategy game. The reward for finishing your checklist isn't a sticker--it's a game you actually want to play.

Your real tasks power the game
Every task, habit, or routine you complete earns Action Points. Spend them to move through the city, upgrade your cyborg body, build your deck, and unleash combos against the oligarchs running a dystopian world. Do your laundry, win a fight. Your productivity is the controller.

A to-do list that does everything
- Every task type: one-time todos, scheduled tasks, recurring routines, counter-based habits, and flexible weekly goals
- Completely free. No ads, no dark patterns, no manipulative monetization
- Built by a solo developer obsessed with checklists

Actually a deep game
- Procedurally generated runs, so every session feels fresh
- Synergistic decks built from cybernetic hardware and wetware
- Permanent progression unlocking new cards, abilities, and story
- A full narrative across three acts and a final boss

Grounded in behavioral science
Designed around principles from contingency management therapy, so your real-world momentum becomes genuine gameplay and the habit loop actually sticks.

Ratings and reviews

the audio is lackluster, the mechanics are simple, not enough content. it feels like an alpha release. its so close to being good, but its just missing alot

great, gamified way to fix my habits. one small problem. the windows do not scroll at all, ever. so if you add a twice a month/every two weeks event you cannot save it.

This is an extremely engaging and challenging game, the art is incredible and you can see the amount of care and effort put into every card and battle. it's so great to have a habit building app that is not only effective but enjoyably addictive and doesn't bombard you with adds. If you like deck builders like slay the spire and want to better yourself, then you'll absolutely love this.
