What I mean is, is there any virtual pet device or app where the pet actually represents you, the user, and in it you report if you have eaten, showered, exercised, how you’re feeling, etc, and that is reflected in the pet/avatar? Could be a helpful thing for people with depression or any problem that makes them have difficulty for self care.
Finch is pretty close. Free as well. It’s intended to help with self care and mental wellness, could be a good fit for you.
Agreed, Finch is a great way to keep track of self-care and watch your little creature thrive through it.
Yeah, there’s a few. Habitica comes to mind, but the generic term for this is “gamification”.
I got a smartwatch recently and after describing using/wearing it my sister said “you turned yourself into a tamagotchi”. Might not have an avatar, but it’s fairly gamified.
Kind of. My friend uses Finch. Basically it’s your pet but it’s about writing down your thoughts and emotions. Kind of like your regular mindfulness app.
Someone else mentioned Habitica already, there are a few out there. I think they usually call it gamification. The only one I tried and was able to commit to was Walkscape (specifically gamifying getting out), although I’ve been slacking due to nasty winter weather.
I was slightly concerned reading the title 😭
I’ve not found any that really work for me as of yet so want to piggy back off this post, if you find something please notify me!
Maybe n Roblox. I haven’t bothered trying the games, but I know Adopt Me started as something like that.
