Motivation Monsters

Motivation Monsters is a desktop companion game about building habits and making progress toward personal goals. Alien creatures called Xenopals stay at the bottom of your screen while you work, encouraging you to care for yourself and spend time on things that matter to you.

Build habits

You complete real-world tasks across different areas, including self-care, to support a well-rounded routine rather than focusing only on productivity. Small steps help you move toward long-term goals. The game encourages you without punishing you: you can go at your own pace, and bad days do not break a streak or incur a penalty.

Care for Xenopals

As you take care of yourself, your Xenopals learn to do the same. Completing tasks earns XP, helps you discover new creatures and unlocks transformations. Over time, Xenopals show personal growth through physical changes called Self-Actualization; the game also describes self-actualization as a possibility for you.

Tools and music

The game includes a task tracker and to-do list, a Pomodoro timer and over 60 tracks of DMCA-safe music. Xenopals remain visible as co-working companions while staying out of the way.
