Onward is a habit tracker where your daily habits grow a real RPG character — leveling up, unlocking gear, glowing through a six-stage aura the longer you stay consistent. Its twist: opt-in accountability pairing. Link weekly progress with one friend via a private code — no public feed, no leaderboard. Both hit a perfect week together, you unlock a shared charm on both characters. No subscription, no loot boxes — only cosmetics are for sale, everything else is free.
Hey Product Hunt
I built Onward because every habit tracker I tried died the same way — I'd
be consistent for a week, miss a day, and just... stop opening the app.
Nothing about a checklist made we want to come back.
So I tried something different: your habits actually grow a character.
Levels, unlockable gear, a glow that builds up the longer you stay
consistent — it's a small thing, but it's enough to make opening the app
feel like progress instead of a chore.
The feature I'm proudest of came from testing this with a friend: pairing.
You link up with one other person, and you each see the other's weekly
progress — not a leaderboard, just enough to know someone's watching and
you don't want to be the one who breaks the streak. When you both nail a
perfect week, you unlock a shared cosmetic charm on both characters.
Everything core to the app is free — no subscription, no loot boxes.
Sparks (the in-app currency) are earned just by staying consistent, and
only ever buy cosmetics.
Would love any feedback, especially from anyone who's bounced off habit
trackers before like I did.
