Clash of the Titans: MainQuest vs Habitica

The Classic vs The Next Gen

If you're looking for an RPG habit tracker, you've likely heard of Habitica. It's been around since 2013 and has a massive community.

MainQuest is the 2025/2026 response to Habitica's aging infrastructure. It was built to address the common complaints: clutter, lack of offline mode, and reliance on internet.

3 Critical Differences

1. The Offline Problem

Habitica: If you lose signal, you can't check off tasks. The server must verify every click.
MainQuest: Works fully offline. Syncs when you reconnect. It's reliable.

2. The Focus Timer

Habitica: You check off tasks after you do them. No help during the task.
MainQuest: Includes a focus timer. Start a 25-minute quest, earn XP for focusing. It actively helps you do the work.

3. The "Pay to Win" Feel

Habitica: Many cool cosmetics and gems cost real money.
MainQuest: Everything is free. Progression is based on effort, not your wallet.
