HOSTAGE - Productivity held hostage. Guilt-driven task management.
by•
Traditional to-do apps are too nice. They forgive you when you skip a task. HOSTAGE does not.
HOSTAGE is a high-stakes, Tamagotchi-style productivity PWA where your pet's life is directly tied to your task completion.
The Pact: Add tasks with strict deadlines.
The Penalty: If you miss a deadline, the "Executioner Protocol" deals massive damage to your pet.
The Cost: Reviving a dead pet requires a "System Reboot"—but the guilt remains.
Stop prioritizing comfort. Start prioritizing survival.

"I built this because I'm lazy."
Hi Hunters! 👋 I'm a Systems Engineer from Japan.
I realized that standard to-do lists rely on "willpower"—a resource I lack. But I do have a conscience.
I built HOSTAGE to outsource my discipline to a digital life form. Now, if I slack off, something cute dies. It’s brutal, but it works.
Warning: The damage logic is unforgiving. Can you keep them alive for a week? Let me know in the comments! 💀
