A Living RPG World
The Forest Changes With Time
Neuro Venture follows your device's local time, changing the forest background automatically as your real day moves forward.
Morning
From 5:00 AM, the forest wakes with a bright morning scene for the start of your daily adventure.
Afternoon
From 12:00 PM, the world shifts into its daytime forest while you continue your quests.
Night
From 6:00 PM, the forest becomes a nighttime realm until morning returns.
✦
World Tip: You do not need to change anything—the background updates automatically to keep your adventure in sync with the real world.
01
Quest Log
Quests
Your tasks become quests. Add them quickly from Home or open the reminder screen to choose difficulty, scheduling, notes, and notifications.
Quest Difficulty
Difficulty controls the base reward for a completed quest. Choose the level that matches the effort—not how important the task looks to someone else.
Easy+5 XP / +5 Gold
Medium+10 XP / +10 Gold
Hard+15 XP / +15 Gold
Free Adventurer Limit: Free users can have up to 8 active tasks at a time. This is your task capacity—not the daily reward limit. Home quick tasks use the app's default reward behavior. Open the full reminder screen when you want to select a difficulty.
Scheduled Quests
Use the calendar button on Home when a quest belongs at a specific time.
- Add an optional note.
- Turn on Set due date & time.
- Choose the date and time.
- Select a repeat schedule when the quest returns regularly.
- Enable a push notification when available for your plan.
Scheduled quests appear in the Quests tab so you can see what is due today, tomorrow, and beyond.
Focus Tools Ready
Quest Timers & Quick Actions
Start a focus timer, follow the countdown in the app, view it in Live Activities, and use notification actions to keep the quest moving.
Start a Focus Timer
- 1Choose an active quest.
Tap its timer control to open Start Focus.
- 2Pick a duration.
Choose 5, 15, 25, 45, or 60 minutes—or set a custom time. The suggested duration follows the quest difficulty, but you can choose another.
- 3Follow the countdown.
The timer stays tied to that quest and remains visible in the app while you work.
Dynamic Island & Live Activities
On supported iPhones, an active quest timer appears in the Dynamic Island and as a Live Activity, so the countdown stays visible outside the app.
On iPad, use the in-app countdown and supported Live Activity experience. iPad does not have a Dynamic Island.
Notification Actions
Quest reminder notifications offer quick actions to Start Timer, Snooze 10 min, or Complete. When a focus session finishes, its notification lets you complete the linked quest.
Live Activities and Dynamic Island must be allowed by the device and operating system. Dynamic Island requires a supported iPhone model.
02
Daily Training
Habits
The Habits tab shows today's active quests, your Daily XP Progress, and an archive of completed work.

Home Screen Field Kit
Widgets — Your Adventure at a Glance
Keep your quests and progress visible without opening Neuro Venture. Widgets use your current app data to show useful updates from the Home Screen.
♛
Free vs. Premium: Every adventurer can use the Small · Daily Quest widget for free. Premium unlocks the Medium size and every widget style, including Daily XP, Focus Timer, Daily Progress, Health Progress, and Multi-Quest.
✦
Widget Tip: Open Neuro Venture after installing or updating the app so your latest quest snapshot is ready for the widget.

Real-World Quest Data
Apple Health
Turn Health Activity Into Quest Progress
Connect Apple Health from Profile to let Neuro Venture use supported Health results for real-world quests. Verified Health quest types include Steps, Walking / Running Distance, Workouts / Exercise Activity, and Workout / Exercise Duration.
The existing Health-connected Daily Quest widget remains a Steps example and can show progress such as 4,850 / 6,000 steps.
- Open Profile and choose Connect Apple Health.
- Allow only the supported Health data types you want Neuro Venture to read.
- Create or follow a supported Health quest and review its latest progress.
- Check completed Health quests in Profile after the goal is reached.
Health access is optional and controlled by Apple Health permissions. If access is denied or a supported data type is unavailable, Neuro Venture still works without Health-based progress. No other Health data types are currently documented as supported.
05
Adventure Currency
XP & Gold
Experience Points
XP records your progress and helps your adventurer grow. Complete quests and habits to fill the Daily XP bar.
Gold
Gold is Neuro Venture's fictional in-game reward currency. Save it and spend it on available outfits, skins, and other rewards. Gold is not real money, has no cash value, and cannot be purchased.

Remember: Difficulty sets the base reward. Premium status may change the amount shown in the app.

Stamina Warning
Hero Exhaustion
Daily Reward Limit Reached
Your hero needs rest.
Neuro Venture rewards the first 10 tasks you complete each day. After the 10th rewarded completion, your hero becomes exhausted and additional XP and Gold rewards pause until the next day.
You can still complete tasks while your hero is exhausted. This limit keeps progression balanced and prevents unlimited reward farming. The existing 100 XP daily cap remains part of your Daily XP progress.
✦
Adventurer Tip: Completing more tasks is still useful after your hero is exhausted. You can keep checking off tasks, but XP and Gold rewards resume the next day.

Wisdom from the Trail
Tips for Adventurers
Quest small
“Put one shirt away” is a valid quest. Small steps build momentum.
Choose honestly
Pick difficulty based on how the task feels for you today.
Schedule sparingly
Give alerts only to quests that truly need a time, so important reminders stand out.
Rest is allowed
The goal is steady progress—not a perfect quest log every day.
Help from the Guild
FAQ & Troubleshooting
Why didn't I earn XP or Gold?
Your hero may already have earned rewards from 10 completed tasks today. After the 10th rewarded completion, XP and Gold pause until the next day, but you can still complete tasks.
Why is my hero exhausted?
Your hero earns rewards from up to 10 completed tasks per day. After the 10th rewarded completion, exhaustion begins to keep progression balanced. This is separate from the Free plan capacity of 8 active tasks.
What is the Free Adventurer task limit?
Free users can have up to 8 active tasks at one time. This is a capacity limit. Hero Exhaustion is different: it begins after 10 rewarded task completions in a day.
What does Premium include?
Premium is a $4.99 lifetime one-time purchase that unlocks additional productivity features and premium game content, including multiple focus timers, the full widget collection, 2× XP and Gold, expanded notifications, special armor and outfits, and exclusive familiars.
How do I change difficulty?
Open the full Add Reminder screen and choose Easy, Medium, or Hard before adding the quest.
How do I schedule a reminder?
Tap the calendar button on Home, turn on Set due date & time, then select the date, time, and optional repeat schedule.
How do I enable notifications?
Allow notifications in iOS Settings and enable the notification option when scheduling an eligible quest. Notification features may require Premium.
How do I snooze a notification?
Press and hold the quest reminder notification to reveal its actions, then choose Snooze 10 min. Notification presentation can vary by iOS or iPadOS version and device settings.
How do I start a focus timer?
Open an active quest and tap its timer control. Choose a suggested duration or Custom, then tap Start. The countdown remains tied to that quest.
How do I add a Neuro Venture widget?
Touch and hold the Home Screen, open Add Widget, search for Neuro Venture, choose Small or Medium, and place it on your Home Screen.
Why hasn't my widget updated yet?
Open Neuro Venture to publish the newest quest snapshot. Widget refresh timing is also managed by iOS or iPadOS, so changes may not appear immediately.
Does Neuro Venture have an Apple Watch app?
Not yet. However, Neuro Venture notifications may still appear on your Apple Watch through iPhone notification mirroring. A dedicated Apple Watch app is not currently required for mirrored notifications.
How do I connect Apple Health?
Open Profile, choose Connect Apple Health, and allow access to the supported types you want to use: Steps, Walking / Running Distance, Workouts / Exercise Activity, and Workout / Exercise Duration. Apple Health controls each permission.
Why isn't my Health quest updating?
Check that Apple Health access is enabled for the data type used by the quest and that Apple Health has a matching result. If permission is denied or that data is unavailable, Neuro Venture still works without Health-based progress.
Why isn't Dynamic Island showing?
Dynamic Island requires a supported iPhone, an active focus session, and Live Activities enabled in device settings. On iPad, use the in-app countdown and supported Live Activity experience instead; iPad does not have Dynamic Island.
Does Neuro Venture support landscape mode on iPad?
Not yet. Neuro Venture currently supports Portrait orientation only on iPad. Landscape support is planned for a future update.
