Public pull request submissions paused as of August 4, 2026

Due to changes in the tech landscape and in how our player base interacts with Habitica on various platforms, we have made the decision to pause our acceptance of code-based contributions (Blacksmith tiers). Our codebase will remain open-source and publicly visible. If you’d like to know more about this pause, you can find additional details on the GitHub wiki.

⚠️ No AI-Generated Code Policy

This repository prohibits the submission of code generated by large language models (LLMs), AI coding assistants, or automated generation tools. All code must be authored entirely by humans. AI-assisted commits will be rejected during pull request reviews.

Habitica for Android

Habitica is an open source habit building program which treats your life like a Role Playing Game. Level up as you succeed, lose HP as you fail, earn money to buy weapons and armor. This repository is related to the Android Native Application.

It's also on Google Play:

Having the application installed is a good way to be notified of new releases. However, clicking "Watch" on this repository will allow GitHub to email you whenever we publish a release.

Thank you very much to all contributors.

How mobile releases work

All major mobile releases are organized by Milestones labeled with the release number. The 'Help Wanted' is added to any issue we feel would be okay for a contributor to work on, so look for that tag first! We do our best to answer any questions contributors may have regarding issues marked with that tag. If an issue does not have the 'Help Wanted' tag, that means staff will handle it when we have the availability.

The mobile team consists of one developer and one designer for both Android and iOS. Because of this, we switch back and forth for releases. While we work on one platform, the other will be put on hold. This may result in a wait time for PRs to be reviewed or questions to be answered. Any PRs submitted while we're working on a different platform will be assigned to the next Milestone and we will review it when we come back!

Given that our team is stretched pretty thin, it can be difficult for us to take an active role in helping to troubleshoot how to fix issues, but we always do our best to help as much as possible :) With this in mind, when selecting issues to work on it may be best to pick up issues you already have a good idea how to handle and test. Thank you for putting in your time to help make Habitica the best it can be!

Build Instructions

Config Files

1. Setup Habitica build config files by simply copying or renaming the example habitica files:

   habitica.properties.example to habitica.properties

   habitica.resources.example to habitica.resources

   You also need google-services.json. Download it from Firebase in the next step.

   Note: this is the default production habitica.properties file for habitica.com. If you want to use a local Habitica server, please modify the values in the properties file accordingly.

2. Go to https://console.firebase.google.com

   a. Register/Login to Firebase. (You can use a Google account.)

   b. Create a new project called Habitica

   c. Create two apps in the project: com.habitrpg.android.habitica and com.habitrpg.android.habitica.debug

   d. Creating each app will generate a google-services.json file. Download the google-services.json file from the second app and put it in \Habitica\ and \wearos\

   You can skip the last part of the app creation wizards (where you run the app to verify installation).

3. If using Android Studio, click Sync Project with Gradle Files. Update Android Studio if it asks you to update. Run Habitica.
