Life Simulator Dashboard

Quantified-self tools — habit trackers, fitness apps, health dashboards — track metrics in their own separate silos but never synthesize them into one coherent picture of a person. Life-sim games like Kudos do have that holistic character-sheet view, but it’s entirely fictional. Nothing bridges the two: real personal data, presented with the visual identity and synthesis of a game character sheet, making progress feel like leveling up rather than filling in a spreadsheet.

The idea maps real activity onto stat bars the way an RPG would — workouts into Strength and Aerobic bars, books read into knowledge bars by subject — with the actual formula behind each bar mattering as much as the visual design; an arbitrary point-per-action mapping turns into a toy that gets ignored after a week, while a grounded formula (estimated 1-rep-max from logged sets, say) makes the number feel earned. A first version would stay deliberately narrow — fitness only, manual entry, no accounts or backend — specifically to find an input flow light enough to actually sustain before adding more life domains.

Aimed at people who already track workouts or read with intention, and would react to seeing that data show up as a real stat bar for the first time.
