Gamification

Note: Gamification features are available starting in version 0.3.

Deliber8 Progress includes optional gamification to keep your brain engaged long-term. Unlike habit apps that expect habits to become “automatic,” we know that ADHD brains need ongoing rewards.

XP and Levels

Every action earns Experience Points (XP):

XP accumulates toward levels. Each level requires more XP than the last. Level up to unlock achievements and (in Party Mode) new cosmetics.

Streaks

Streaks track consecutive completions of habits. A daily habit completed 5 days in a row = 5-day streak.

Streaks provide:

• Visual motivation (watch the number grow!)
• Bonus XP at milestones (7 days, 30 days, etc.)
• A reason to keep going

Streak Shields 🛡️

Life happens. You’ll miss days. Streak Shields prevent one miss from destroying your streak.

• You get 2 shields per month
• When you miss a habit, you can choose to use a shield to preserve your streak
• Your streak survives — the missed day is forgiven!
• Shields reset on the 1st of each month
• Your remaining shields are displayed in the navbar (in Full/Lite modes)

Why this matters: This is a forgiveness mechanic designed for neurodivergent brains. One bad day shouldn’t undo weeks of progress. Traditional habit apps punish you for missing a single day, which often leads to giving up entirely. With streak shields, you can recover and keep going.

Using a shield also unlocks the Comeback Kid achievement!

Achievements

Achievements are milestones that celebrate your progress. Each achievement awards bonus XP and gold when unlocked.
