"Finally, an app that doesn't make me feel broken. It's a game. It actually works."
"I've tried 10 apps. This is the only one that stuck because it doesn't feel like a chore."
"Low pressure. Real rewards. No shame language. Finally feels safe."
How the buddy quest game works
Three simple loops power every session: pair with a buddy, roll a real-world mission, then earn XP and cosmetics together. No demands, no shame, no streak-shaming.
Real-World Missions
Visit new places, try new foods, ask a stranger a question, send a text you've been avoiding. Co-op quests tuned to your comfort zone and budget.
Earn Real Rewards
Gain XP for every completed quest, unlock cosmetics, collect rare loot drops, level up your avatar, and build gentle streaks that respect rest days.
Play Your Way
Five customizable aesthetic modes (neon, soft, retro, luxury, cyber) — switch sensory modes anytime so the interface always matches how your brain feels.
A low-pressure game for ADHD, autism & anxiety
SideQuest is built by neurodivergent creators who were tired of habit apps that punish missed days. Every system — quests, XP, cosmetics, themes — is designed around PDA-aware autonomy, executive-function support, and sensory choice.
PDA-aware design
No demand language. Quests are invitations you choose to accept — never tasks the app shames you for skipping.
Executive-function support
Tiny rolls, clear budgets, buddy accountability without surveillance. Decision fatigue handled by the dice.
Sensory customization
Switch between high-stim neon and soft sanctuary modes in one tap. Your interface adapts to your nervous system.
Your environment controls how you feel
Tap a vibe to preview the whole app in that mode. The one you keep is saved.
