Quests & Rites
Create goals and build repeating habits to achieve them.
What Is a Quest?
A Quest is a goal you want to achieve. It has a name, a start date, and a target date. Think of it as a container that holds all the habits and actions you'll do to reach your goal.
- ●Example: "Get fit for summer" — starting today, target in 90 days.
- ●Example: "Learn Spanish basics" — starting next Monday, target in 6 months.
What Is a Rite?
A Rite is a repeating habit or action within a quest. It's the daily work that moves you toward your goal. Each rite is tied to one or more Life Slices and has an effort level.
- ●Checkbox: Simple done/not-done (e.g., "Drink 2L of water").
- ●Numeric: A number to hit (e.g., "Run 3km" with target ≥ 3).
- ●Timer: A duration to complete (e.g., "Meditate for 15 minutes").
Rite Frequencies
Choose how often a rite repeats:
- ●Daily — every day between start and target date.
- ●Weekly — select specific days of the week, or choose "Any" for a flexible weekly target.
- ●Specific Dates — pick exact dates from a calendar.
- ●Once — a single occurrence on a specific date.
- ●Custom — every X days, weeks, months, or years.
Effort Levels
Each rite has an effort level that affects how many Resonance Points (RP) you earn:
| Effort | Description | RP Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Passive | Very low energy, takes less than a minute | 0.5× |
| Low | A simple task that keeps the rhythm going | 1.0× |
| Medium | A balanced effort requiring focused time | 1.5× |
| High | A deep effort that demands your best | 2.5× |
| Max | A total breakthrough effort | 4.0× |
Success Markers
Success Markers define what "done" looks like for your quest. They're the finish line — when all markers are met, your quest is complete.
- ●Checkbox: "I can run 5km without stopping"
- ●Numeric: "I've saved R10,000"
- ●Timer: "I can hold a plank for 3 minutes"
- ●Dynamic: Linked to a rite — auto-tracks based on your pulse history.
Creating a Quest (The Forge)
The Forge is a 5-step wizard for creating quests:
- ●Step 1: Name your quest, set start and target dates, add an optional note.
- ●Step 2: Choose solo or crew mode (and invite crew members if applicable).
- ●Step 3: Add your rites — define the habits that will drive your quest.
- ●Step 4: Add success markers — define what completion looks like.
- ●Step 5: Review everything and create your quest.
You can edit a quest at any time from the Seasons screen.
Managing Your Quests
From the Seasons screen, tap the menu on any quest to:
- ●View — see full quest details, rites, and progress.
- ●Pause — take a break without losing progress. Resume anytime.
- ●Complete — mark the quest as finished when you've hit your goals.
- ●Abandon — step away from a quest that's no longer relevant without losing any RP earned.
- ●Duplicate — copy the quest to start a fresh version with today's date.
- ●Delete — permanently remove the quest and all its data (including any RP earned).
Deleting a quest is permanent. All rites, pulses, and RP history are removed.
Editing a Rite
You can edit a rite at any time by opening the quest and tapping the edit button. When you change a rite, Oktant creates a new version that takes effect from today. Your past check-ins are always evaluated against the settings that were active when you logged them.
- ●Type change (e.g., Checkbox → Numeric): old ✓ check-ins remain as "met" on the heatmap.
- ●Target change (e.g., "at least 3" → "at least 5"): old pulses are still judged against the original target.
- ●Averages and totals only include pulses from the current measurement type — mixing counts and minutes in a single average would not be meaningful.
Your completion percentage and met/unmet counts always include all pulses regardless of type — only the Avg and Total stats are filtered to the current type.
