HabitTrove User Guide: Turn Habit Building into an Engaging Game
Have you ever had this experience: you're determined to wake up early, exercise, or read, but end up giving up after just a few days? Don't worry, you're not alone. Building habits isn't easy to begin with, but what if you could turn it into a game?
The HabitTrove app we're recommending today is precisely such a magic tool—a gamified habit-tracking application that helps you build and maintain positive habits through a reward system.
Simply put, you earn gold coins for every habit you complete, and then use those coins to redeem the rewards you desire.

Usage Guide
After installing the app, first click to log in as a user.

Enter the main page.

Create a new habit.

Read 1 page of a book daily to earn 2 gold coins.

Add a few desired rewards to your wishlist.


Experience the thrill of earning gold coins by completing habits. You can switch to Task mode here.


When you complete a task or habit, click "Complete".

You will then earn gold coins. You can view the total and details in the "Coins" section.

Based on my experience, I recommend categorizing habits as follows:
Basic Habits (5-10 coins)
- Wake up early, go to bed on time
- Drink enough water
- Tidy up the room
Growth Habits (10-20 coins)
- Read for 30 minutes
- Learn a new skill
- Exercise for 30 minutes
This is the key to the entire system! How well the rewards are designed directly affects your ability to stick with it.
Reward Tiers
Small Rewards (20-50 coins)
- Watch a movie
- Buy a book
- Have a meal with friends
Big Rewards (500-1000 coins)
- Buy that piece of clothing you've been wanting
- A short trip
- Electronics
Summary
HabitTrove is a truly practical tool that solves the problem of traditional habit-tracking apps being dull and boring. By using gamification, it makes building habits much more fun.
