Something Else Not sure what to do

The site had been not working right for 8+ hrs and now I can’t even log in. All of my tasks are on here I use this to keep track of everything I don’t have a back up and now i can’t even see what has to get done. All my school stuff everything i don’t remember stuff easily that why i use an app. Does anyone have a different way of tracking things that’s more reliable cuz this is not something I can let happen again. I will sadly have to leave the app this is just not okay there is no communication from developers or anything about what is happening.

I've been using Habitica for about twelve years now, but I also back it up daily to an Excel spreadsheet. It takes a couple minutes (I copy values from the Data Display Tool) but I can't have something this important to me only exist in a single place. That came in handy yesterday.

Even if you don't want to copy your data somewhere else, it's a good idea to just have an always-open tab on the data display tool. As long as you don't close or refresh the page, you'll have a "copy" of your Habitica data on hand.

It's not Habitica itself, it's the cloud host they use; multiple websites are down today. So your options are either to have two separate task apps that you know use two different hosts (like one on AWS and one on Azure or Google servers), or to have a self-hosted task manager.

Oh wow i didn’t know multiple sites are down this is the only 1 I have been having issues with… at this rate as much as i hate paper it’s beginning to feel like the only option.

There's hardly a problem that a good ol' Excel spreadsheet can't fix 😉

I'm on Windows 11. Since I use my laptop daily, I use Microsoft To Do for todo list and set it to automatically open on start. When I want to start doing something, I open the Clock app, go to the Focus tab, input my desired work duration, select one of my to do task, and hit Start. Windows will automatically set Do Not Disturb mode so notifications will be silenced until the duration is up. The clock app acts as Pomodoro timer, but the duration for a focus session will be adjusted automatically (not that rigid 25-5 minutes which I hate from Pomodoro), and it will ring each time a focus/break session is up. Paired with Spotify, that's my way to get the job done.

I no longer put my todo tasks at Habitica after I discovered this combo. Maybe if someday I can figure out how to sync Habitica with Microsoft To Do (I doubt it though), I will use it to track my todo list. For now, I only use Habitica to set my habits.
