I’m a 15 and I just launched LEVL, a habit tracking and self improvement app that is gamified. You gain XP, level up, and rank up by doing the things you said you would do. It also gives you daily tasks based off of your goals.
I built it because every habit app I tried felt like a chore list and I wanted it to feel like a game.
I’d really appreciate any feedback at all (even pricing or marketing). Please try it out and let me what you think. It got a 3 day free trial.
Gosh, "Henry Gatlin", don't you know that "I'm 17" is the sweet spot? 15 and 16 are simply not believeable, and 18, big deal, we all built apps at age 18. Those of us that are real, that is.

It’s live on the App Store now: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/levl-self-improvement/id677713...
