Arete: Habit Tracker & RPG

You are the protagonist. Your life has a character sheet.

Arete is a life RPG for adults: six real stats — Body, Vitality, Mind, Spirit, Presence, Discipline — drawn as a radar that grows from what you actually do. Complete daily quests, earn XP, level up. No avatar, no fantasy gold. The character is you.

THE CHARACTER SHEET
One glance answers everything: today's quests, your level, your streak, the last seven days, and the shape of your six stats. When you create your character you sketch who you think you are — the dashed Ghost on the radar. Then your earned self chases it, one quest at a time.

DAILY QUESTS, REAL XP
Every completion is a vote for the person you're becoming. Tap the seal when a quest is done — the ink fills, XP lands, the radar moves. Harder practices earn more, steady weeks build visible momentum, and a finished board gets its moment. Mis-tapped? Undo it. Want a new time or a new name? Edit any quest.

REMINDERS THAT RESPECT YOU
Choose when Arete checks in: a short morning note with today's quests, and an evening nudge only on a day you haven't started. Every quest reminder carries Complete, Snooze, and Skip — tick a quest off from the lock screen. Step away for a while and Arete leaves a single note, then goes quiet.

THE JOURNEY
An append-only ledger of your days, and a calendar for every quest: the days you showed up, in ink. Your history is never rewritten — the ledger never forgets a vote.

A LIBRARY OF PRACTICES
Adopt a routine in one tap: Better Mornings, Deeper Focus, Stronger Body, Calmer Mind, Clear Skin, The Quiet Quit and more — or author your own. Routines bundle quests that belong together.

THE CAMPFIRE
Close the week by the fire: three quiet minutes, the week's XP stat by stat, one honest line in your own words. The flame burns brighter the more days you showed up — and it never goes out.

BUILT ON MERCY
A hard week never empties your radar. Streaks can be patched with repair tokens earned by showing up. Coming back after time away opens a doorway, never a debt. Mercy is never paywalled.

QUIET BY DESIGN
Warm paper, ink, and a single ember accent. Notifications are few, always about today, and go quiet when you step away. No red badges, no shame mechanics, no appearance scoring — ever.
