LifeSim alternative

XP Tracker vs LifeSim

LifeSim turns what you did today into EXP for a pixel character. You type one line and it does the sorting. XP Tracker starts from the other end: your class gives you the quests, and finishing them moves a boss fight and a comic story forward.

Log it, or plan it

LifeSim: Habit RPG (by Dahye Min) is a new iPhone app that skips the planning step. You write what you did in one line, like "ran 40 min" or "read 30 pages". The app reads the activity, the time and the difficulty, and turns it into EXP. That EXP grows eight stats: Fitness, Intellect, Career, Wealth, Social, Creativity, Life and Mind. If a log lands in the wrong stat, you fix it yourself.

On top of the logs it builds daily quests from what you tend to do, plus weekly quests and main quests for long-term goals. You unlock pixel hats, outfits, pets and backgrounds, earn titles, and check charts and a weekly report. There are friends, a leaderboard and party events where you log together to take down a boss.

XP Tracker is a habit RPG for iPhone and Android. You pick one of eight classes and the class hands you a day of quests: core habits like Physical Training, Deep Focus, Daily Reading and Meditate, plus two class quests a day that rotate, and a weekly and a monthly class quest. XP levels your hero, damages the current boss and unlocks the next panel of the class comic, and gear cases and pet eggs build your collection. It also has an ending: finish all eight classes and your hero is immortalized in the Hall of Heroes, ranked by when you finished, among players from all over the world.

LifeSim follows your day and keeps score. XP Tracker gives your day a shape and asks you to fill it.

Fair is fair

Who should pick LifeSim

  • You already do plenty and want credit for all of it, in your own words.
  • Your days look different each week, and a fixed list of quests would feel wrong.
  • You like seeing your life split into stats like Wealth, Career and Social.
  • You want a habits widget on your iPhone home screen today.
  • You read Korean or Japanese, or sign in with Kakao.

Who should pick XP Tracker

  • You open a blank log and can't think what counts. XP Tracker tells you what today's quests are.
  • You want timed quests that build up from where you start to a goal you set.
  • You want a story with an ending. All eight classes take 8 to 14 months, and then you're done.
  • Your phone is the problem, and you want it locked until the quests are done.
  • You're on Android, or you switch.

Moving from LifeSim to XP Tracker

  1. Look at your most frequent habits. LifeSim shows them by stat. Running, reading and focused work map onto core quests every class already has.
  2. Add the rest from the library. Tap + Add a quest for habits like Drink water, Walk (you pick the step goal), Study a language or No social media. Each one keeps its own streak.
  3. Pick your first class by its art. You see only the art, so trust your intuition. Finishing a class unlocks the next.
  4. Start on Easy. Easy bosses need less XP. A missed day costs only the XP you didn't earn, and rest days keep your streaks.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between LifeSim and XP Tracker?

LifeSim works after the fact: you write one line about what you did, and it turns that into EXP across eight stats. XP Tracker works ahead of time: your class gives you a day of quests, and finishing them levels your hero, damages the current boss, unlocks the next comic panel and drops gear and pets to collect.

Can I type my own habits in XP Tracker?

No. You add quests from a library of about 60, such as Drink water, Floss, Take your meds or Study a language, and set the goal and the days. If you want to log anything you did in your own words, LifeSim does that.

Is XP Tracker on Android?

Yes. XP Tracker runs on iPhone and Android. LifeSim's App Store listing says it is for iPhone, and we didn't find an Android version on its listing.

Does XP Tracker have a home-screen widget?

On Android there's a home-screen widget. On iPhone, quest timers show as a Live Activity. There's no iPhone home-screen widget yet, and LifeSim has one.

Is XP Tracker free?

It's free to start. After that you choose a monthly plan or a one-time Full Journey pass. The app shows the price for your country.
