Levla vs Finch: self‑care pet or habit tracker RPG?
Finch and Levla both reward you for looking after yourself, in different ways. Finch is a gentle self-care app where your goals give energy to a virtual pet bird, with reflection, mood and breathing tools built in. Levla is a habit tracker and to-do app where your habits power an RPG character on idle adventures, with 18 skills, gear and a player-run economy. Choose Finch for emotional support and a cozy companion; choose Levla for a proper planner and a deeper game.

The biggest difference: a companion or a character
Finch is about being kind to yourself. Your goals keep a small bird energized, it tells you about its adventures, and an off day just means less energy. Levla is about building momentum. Your habits and to-dos fuel an RPG character who levels skills, fights monsters and earns loot while you get on with your day. By default, neither app takes anything away when you miss a day, beyond a streak.
Planning
Finch's daily goals double as your to-do list: recurring goals with reminders, sorted into self-care areas. Levla is built to be your main planner, with flexible habits (checkboxes, timers and counters), a to-do system with lists and priorities, effort levels and stats.
Self-care and reflection
This is Finch's strength. It has reflection prompts, mood check-ins with insights, breathing exercises, soundscapes and optional self-check quizzes. Levla has daily reflection prompts on gratitude, growth and intelligence, which you can hide if you don't use them, but it isn't a mental-health app.
The game
Finch's game is cozy: dress your bird, decorate its home, travel to new places and collect micropets. Levla's is an idle RPG with 18 RuneScape-style skills, monsters and dungeons, farming, crafting, ten equipment slots, pets and a player-run Trading Post.
Price
Both have generous free versions. Finch Plus costs $9.99 a month or $69.99 a year and unlocks more activities, content and event rewards. Levla's membership costs $5.99 a month, $49.99 a year or $99.99 lifetime and adds members-only regions, quests and conveniences, while habits, to-dos and reflections stay unlimited for free.
Which should you choose?
Choose Finch if you want gentle support for your wellbeing, you love the idea of a companion, and you don't need a full planner.
Choose Levla if you've outgrown Finch's game, want one app for your habits and to-dos, or enjoy RPGs and idle games.
Some people use both: Finch for check-ins and self-care, and Levla for habits and tasks.
