The app

What it looks like

Six screens to get a feel for it before downloading. Everything is drawn by hand, pixel by pixel.

Habit tracking

Habit tracking

Your routine by time of day, with its difficulty and the skills it feeds. Dozens of templates get you started in seconds.

XP, levels & skills

XP, levels & skills

Every completed habit feeds one of your character's six skills. Level after level, your progress stacks up.

Expeditions

Expeditions

Send your hero to explore Aethranor. The stronger you are, the rarer the rewards.

Inventory & gear

Inventory & gear

Gear up with what you've found: weapons, armour, rings, amulets. And maybe a legendary item, if you push far enough.

Achievements & challenges

Achievements & challenges

New challenges every week, and an achievement collection that grows at every step of your adventure.

Shop

Shop

Spend the gold you earn at the travelling merchant, whose stock rotates regularly. No buying XP or rare items: everything is earned by playing.

Six skills

Every habit makes you grow

Your habits don't just tick a box: each one feeds a character skill. Six axes to raise, at your own pace.

Strength

Sport, walking, lifting: anything that gets the body moving.

Intelligence

Reading, learning, languages: whatever you grow inside your head.

Willpower

Rising early, holding a course, resisting what drags you down.

Wisdom

Meditation, journaling, sleep: tending your inner calm.

Social

Calling someone close, seeing friends, keeping the bonds that matter.

Prosperity

Budget, work, projects: what you build over the long run.

How it works

A virtuous loop, 3 steps

Real effort fuels a virtual adventure, and the other way around.

1

Create your habits

Sport, reading, meditation… pick what you want to grow. Each habit ties into a skill.

2

Earn XP

Check off your habits every day and earn experience. Your character levels up.

3

Explore & collect

Launch expeditions, find treasures, gear up. Your real-life effort feeds the adventure.

Two minutes a day is enough. The goal isn't to nail everything. It's to come back tomorrow.

1day

Tier 1 of 10

The streak

Your consistency sets him ablaze

Aldwin walks with you day after day. The longer your streak holds, the more his aura shifts, from the first day's spark to the legendary frost of 365 days. Ten tiers to climb, and nothing to lose but the streak itself if you stop.

A whole universe

Dive into the world of Aethranor

Six regions to roam, hundreds of items to collect and achievements to unlock at every step of your adventure.

Snowy peaks
Dark forest
Archipelago
Great plains
Arid desert
Marshes

Regions to explore

Explore an entire world

From sunlit plains to misty marshes, all the way to snowy peaks. Uncover the treasures, mementos and challenges hidden in every corner of the world.

Along the way

Meet who crosses your path

Every expedition tells a story: an old hermit, a curious doe, a silhouette in the mist. Some encounters go well, others less so.

What you bring back

Keep a memento

Every memorable encounter leaves a memento card in your collection. There are hundreds to uncover, region by region.

Achievements to unlock

Collect your wins

Every milestone you hit (levels reached, streaks held, skills grown) adds a new achievement to your collection.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything to know before starting the adventure.

What is Pixelio's philosophy?+
Pixelio is built with no punishment, no pressure, and no buyable advantages. Missing a day is never a loss, just a rest day in your adventure. The goal is consistency over the long run, not perfection at all costs.
Is Pixelio free?+
Yes, Pixelio is fully usable for free. A Pixelio Pro subscription is available to unlock every habit icon and earn gold faster, but nothing essential is locked behind a paywall.
What about my personal data?+
We only store what's needed to run the app: your habits, your progress and your account info. Your data is never sold or used for advertising. For all the details, check our privacy page.
Does Pixelio work offline?+
In the current version, an internet connection is required to check off your habits. Offline support is planned for an upcoming update.
Is there any pay-to-win?+
No. The Pro subscription unlocks icons and slightly speeds up gold progression, but you can't buy XP, levels or rare items. Everything that matters in the game is earned only by completing your habits.
What happens if I miss a day?+
Your progress stays intact: you don't lose any XP or levels. Only your streak resets if you had one going. That's it.

Florianne

Communication

Hi, we're the team behind Pixelio! Robin handles development, Gaspard and Paul take care of the pixel art, and Florianne runs communication, customer support and marketing (although honestly, everyone does a bit of everything, haha).

Pixelio is a passion project that we love working on, and we hope you enjoy the app as much as we do.

We really care about the user experience: if you run into a little bug (it happens!), don't hesitate to tell us on social media or by email, and we'll fix it as fast as we can! And if you have ideas for new features, we'd love to hear them too.
