Quest Tree

A quest log for real life.

Quest Tree turns your goals into an unlockable tech tree. Tasks become nodes. Prerequisites become paths. Progress unlocks what comes next.

It is a productivity app for people who think in systems, quests, maps, projects, and momentum.

No fake deadlines. No overdue guilt. Just what you can do next.

What is Quest Tree?

Quest Tree is an early access Windows desktop app that helps you turn messy goals into visual task trees.

Instead of a flat to-do list, you build a map of your work:

• Create task nodes
• Connect prerequisites
• Break tasks into subtasks
• Start focus timers
• Earn XP and coins
• Spend coins in your own reward shop
• Search, filter, and prioritize tasks
• Undo mistakes
• Export and import backups

It is not trying to be another guilt-powered checklist. Quest Tree is built around momentum.

Features

• Visual task trees
  Build your goals as connected nodes instead of endless lists.
• Prerequisite paths
  Show what needs to happen first and what unlocks next.
• Clickable subtasks
  Check off subtasks directly on the node.
• Focus timers
  Set a timer for each task. Click Doing to start.
• XP, coins, and rewards
  Complete tasks to earn XP and coins, then spend coins in your own custom reward shop.
• Categories, colors, and icons
  Customize task categories to fit your life.
• Tree backgrounds
  Give each project its own visual world.
• Search and filters
  Find tasks by text, status, category, or priority.
• Priority without deadline shame
  Mark tasks Low, Normal, High, or Critical without creating overdue punishment traps.
• Undo
  Recover from accidental deletes or changes.
• Sound options
  Optional clicks, chimes, and timer alarms.
• Backup import/export
  Save your Quest Tree data as local backup files.

Why no due dates?

Because the world already has enough punishments for missing deadlines.

Real deadlines belong on your calendar. Quest Tree is for momentum: seeing what is available, what unlocks next, and what you can do with the energy you actually have.

No fake urgency.
No overdue shame.
No rotting task graveyard.

Just a playable map of progress.

Who it is for

Quest Tree may be useful if you are:

• A creator with too many projects
• A writer trying to turn ideas into finished work
• A student building a study path
• A game developer or systems thinker
• Someone with ADHD-style planning needs
• Someone recovering from burnout
• Someone who hates normal to-do lists but still needs structure

Early Access Note

Quest Tree is an early access Windows desktop app. It works, but it is still young.

Please export backups regularly.

Your data is stored locally on your machine. There are no accounts, subscriptions, cloud sync, or ads.

Some antivirus tools may warn about new unsigned indie software because the app is new. Only install Quest Tree if you downloaded it directly from this official itch.io page or the official Gumroad page.
