👋 Welcome to the ulives Documentation!

Tired of boring task lists and dwindling motivation? ulives is here to change that! 🎉

Built by core members of the LifeUp team, ulives is a brand-new productivity experience fully redesigned and optimized for iOS. As the official iOS successor to LifeUp and a powerful alternative to gamified todo apps like Habitica and LifeRPG, ulives transforms your daily routine and habit building into an engaging RPG adventure. 🎮

What does the name "ulives" mean?​

We pronounce it "you-lives." The word blends a few ideas that define the app:

  • "u" for you, unique, unlimited, upgrade: ulives starts from your perspective so you can design systems that feel personal instead of generic, while reminding you that every tweak is a self-upgrade.
  • "lives" in the plural: life rarely fits a single storyline—you play different roles across work, study, health, and hobbies. ulives helps you manage those parallel journeys like character builds in a game.
  • Together: the name captures our goal of helping you live multiple vibrant versions of yourself with structure, rewards, and playful motivation.

What Makes ulives Special?​

ulives is LifeUp 2.0 - not just a port, but a complete reimagining for iOS. While LifeUp pioneered gamified productivity on Android, ulives takes those proven concepts and elevates them with:

  • Maximum Customization: Unlike Habitica's fixed game world or LifeRPG's basic RPG elements, ulives gives you complete control over your gamification experience
  • Flexible Progression: Design your own attributes, rewards, and progression systems that truly reflect your goals
  • iOS-Native Experience: Built from scratch for iOS with modern SwiftUI design and seamless iCloud integration

Why Choose ulives Over Other Apps?​

vs Habitica: No forced social elements or predefined game mechanics. Create your own personal RPG world that fits your lifestyle.

vs LifeRPG: More sophisticated customization options, flexible currency systems, and deeper integration with iOS ecosystem.

vs other todo apps: Transform mundane task management into an engaging game where YOU control the rules.

Turn your life into a game:

  • Record tasks, goals, and habits to earn Experience Points (XP) and Coins 🪙.
  • Level up your custom character and personalized Attributes/Skills (like 'Fitness', 'Learning') reflecting your real-world progress 💪.
  • Use your Coins in a custom Rewards Shop filled with things you want – breaks, treats, or saving up for larger goals 🎁.
  • Track Milestones & Achievements to celebrate your victories 🏆.

Essentially, ulives uses fun game mechanics to boost motivation, help you tackle goals, stay organized, and reward your progress. It's perfect for focus, self-improvement, and even making routines fun for managing ADHD.
