Notes

This is a pretty small and niche project, created mainly to have fun, so do that!

It has not been tested on Mac or Windows. If you run into any problems while trying to install or use it, feel free to create an issue.

Heavely inspired by motivate and this reddit bot.

Sister project of restedancestor.

Check the amazing game this app was inspired in, Darkest Dungeon available in Steam for every platform!
