About

I've been obsessed with checklists all my life. For 5 years, I carried a custom single-page week-checklist I called the Masterlist, but I wanted something more interesting. I didn't know how to make an app at the time so I built a game/checklist called Fortitude in Google Sheets. Loved it... except that the game mechanics were so manual that I burned out. Fast forward some number of years in a data science career and I had learned and saved enough to give my passion project a real chance. I quit my job and have been working on this full-time for 15+ months. It's so much better than I could have imagined. It's exactly what I've always wanted in a checklist and I'm sure there are some folks out there like me who need a Hard Reset.

Solo-dev question: Is this promo video any good?

I've still got time to make edits before the official launch--wondering if this promo video set to Beethoven's 9th Symphony, 4th Movement is ready or if I should make some tweaks. I've never made a video promo before Hard Reset so any and all feedback welcome.

Hard Reset - The game powered by your life

Tired of boring progress-bar-watching habit apps? Hard Reset uses popular mechanics from the best roguelike games, a compelling cyberpunk resistance fighter + world saving narrative, and integrates the player's real-world checklist to power it all. Miss a due task? Have a junk card added to your deck. Get a long streak going? Use the Momentum currency from that to power powerful cards. As much as possible, the checklist and the game are completely integrated.
