Gamification
Make tasks a little more rewarding
Let's be honest: tasks aren't always exciting. Marvin's gamification features add small rewards and celebrations to make getting things done feel better.
Three Ways to Reward Yourself
Pick what works for you
Different reward systems work for different people. Try one, try all three, or mix and match until you find what motivates you.
Kudos Points
Earn points automatically when you complete tasks. Accumulate Kudos and unlock rewards you set for yourself.
Custom Reward Points
Set up your own point values for tasks. Harder tasks = more points. Trade points for real-world rewards.
Task Rewards
Attach a specific reward directly to a task. Finish the task, get the treat. Simple motivation.
Kudos System
Earn points, unlock rewards
Every task you complete earns you Kudos points. Watch your total grow throughout the day and week. Set reward thresholds. When you hit 100 points, treat yourself to something nice.
- Points awarded automatically
- Set your own reward thresholds
- Daily and weekly totals
- Satisfying animations when you earn

Why gamification works
Dopamine on demand
Your brain craves rewards. Give it little wins throughout the day to stay motivated.
Make boring tasks bearable
That dreaded task is less painful when there's a reward waiting at the end.
Build momentum
Small rewards compound. One completed task makes the next one easier to start.
Make productivity fun
Turn your to-do list from a chore into something you actually want to engage with.
A note on expectations
Gamification isn't magic. It won't suddenly make you love doing taxes or cleaning your inbox. But it can add a small boost of motivation: a little dopamine hit that makes the next task slightly easier to start. For some people, especially those with ADHD, these small rewards can make a real difference.
