Cross-Platform Habit Tracker App
Budget: £1,500 – £3,000 GBP
App Development Brief — Peak: Social Productivity & Habit Climbing App
1. Project Overview
Peak is a motivational productivity app that helps users build habits and complete tasks by visualizing their progress as climbing a mountain. Each completed task moves the user higher up the mountain toward a goal marked by a flag. Users can track their distance climbed, compare progress with friends, and enjoy smooth animations that make habit-building engaging and social.
2. Target Audience
Students and young adults (16–30) looking for motivation in productivity
Anyone wanting to build habits with social accountability and gamification
3. Core Features

Task & Habit Management:
Create, edit, and delete custom tasks and habits
Set daily, weekly, or custom frequency goals for each habit
Mark tasks as completed, partial, or skipped
Free users can track up to 5 tasks/habits simultaneously
In-app purchase unlocks additional mountains and allows tracking more than 5 tasks/habits
Mountain Climbing Visualization:
Each completed task moves the user up a digital mountain — progress shown as distance climbed in metres based on a proportion of total tasks/goals
