The 1^UP App is a life gamification app built on the framework from The 1^UP Effect by Thomas Edwards Jr. It lets you earn XP for daily actions, set epic 90-day quests, discover your Hero Archetype, journal with AI, and get coached — all while leveling up in real life.

Every action you log earns XP (experience points). Different activities have different point values based on their impact. As your XP accumulates, you level up through a progression of named levels — from entry level all the way to Legendary. Your total XP also earns you bonus points you can redeem for Power-Ups.

Quests are your 90-day goals, gamified. Each quest is broken into weekly milestones called Power-Ups. Completing Power-Ups earns you bonus XP and keeps your biggest goals visible and actionable — not forgotten in a notes app.

The Hero Archetype assessment reveals your Ego Type and Soul Type — two dimensions that describe how you're wired to achieve and what gives you deep fulfillment. Your combined archetype (e.g. "Achiever Strategist") helps you understand your natural strengths and where to focus your energy to level up faster.

Thomas AI is an AI coaching assistant trained on Thomas Edwards Jr.'s high-performance coaching methodology. It's available 24/7 to help you work through blocks, reframe limiting beliefs, stay accountable to your goals, and get guidance across every area of your life.

The Power-Up Journal is an AI-guided journaling feature that earns you XP for every session. Choose a starting prompt — process a win, work through a trigger, practice gratitude, or shift your perspective — and the AI guides you through a meaningful reflection that compounds your growth over time.

The Player's Lobby is your built-in reflection and planning coach. It guides you through structured review sessions on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly cadence — keeping you calibrated at every level of your game. Each session earns Lobby XP and keeps your strategy sharp.
