SideQuest for Autistic Adults

Most "wellness" apps weaponise demand language and bury you in unpredictable notifications. SideQuest does the opposite. Every interaction is opt-in, every rule is explicit, and the sensory shell of the app is yours to control.

PDA-aware by design

No "you must," no "don't break your streak," no dark-pattern guilt. Quests are framed as invitations the dice rolled, not demands the app made. Skipping is silent and consequence-free.

Predictable rules

The XP formula, level thresholds, and cosmetic drop logic are documented — see the glossary. Nothing changes based on hidden engagement scores or A/B tests run on you.

Full sensory customization

Five+ aesthetic modes reskin the entire app — neon-punk, soft sanctuary, retro gaming, luxury minimal, dreamscape, more. Pick the one that matches your sensory state today and switch tomorrow. See aesthetic modes.

Safety plans on hard quests

Intensity 4 and 5 quests automatically include an escape phrase, a time limit, and a code word with your buddy. You set the intensity ceiling — the game adapts safety to match.

Try it on your terms

Free forever. Skipping has no consequence.
