If you loved Do It Now: RPG To Do List on Android and switched to an iPhone — or you've heard about it and want something similar on iOS — you've probably noticed the original isn't there. The original Do It Now: RPG To Do List (by Taras Lozovyi) is Android-only.
Taskoria is a gamified habit tracker and RPG for iOS and Android — a Habitica alternative inspired by Do It Now: RPG. Your real-life habits and dailies build your hero's stats; you clear locations of 6 monsters and a boss, craft and upgrade gear by grinding specific habits, and never get punished for breaking a streak.
Credit where it's due: Do It Now is the app that inspired Taskoria
Taskoria is built by a solo developer who grew up using apps like this. In his view, Do It Now: RPG is the #1 app in the niche. Its strength is depth of customization: you define your own skills and characteristics, bind any task to them, earn gold and spend it on rewards you set yourself ("watch a movie"), and create your own achievements. You can track almost anything you want to get better at.
Taskoria was deeply inspired by that idea — that everything you do in real life should make your character stronger. It is not a port or a clone, and it doesn't try to match Do It Now's level of customization. Instead it leans into the game side: your real-life habits become the power your hero needs to clear locations of monsters and bosses. If build-your-own is what you're after, LifeUp takes a similar approach (on iPhone, its team makes ulives) — see how it compares in Habitica vs LifeUp.
One practical note: if you search the App Store you may find an app with a similar name from a different developer. It isn't the original Android app, so check the developer name before you download.

How Taskoria carries the idea forward
Real life drives your stats
Everything you complete feeds your hero's attributes — Strength, Intelligence, Agility, Endurance — and skill tracking gives each skill its own XP.
Locations with a clear finish line
Each location has 6 different monsters to clear, then a boss, then you move on — Forest, Swamp and beyond. You deal damage by completing your dailies.
Gear you earn by repeating habits
Buy gear in the shop, or craft and upgrade unique items by grinding specific habits — a concrete reason to show up again tomorrow.
No punishment
Miss a day and nothing is taken away. A broken streak only resets the streak bonus; the app waits for you to come back.
