HabitQuest

The purpose of this application is to help users set, track, and achieve their defined goals or habits according to four goal types: fitness, health, personal, or professional. By providing a structured platform, the application will serve as a sort of digital assistant to encourage personal productivity and organization, allowing users to monitor their progress and make informed decisions about their activities and habits. The potential impact of this application will be to provide a method of organization to keep track of tasks, track trends, build new habits, increase productivity, and motivate the user, leading to personal growth.
