A motivational application is a web, mobile, or desktop application that provides users with daily or weekly reminders and inspiration to help them achieve their fitness, dieting, productivity, health, or other goals. The app may enable users to create custom profiles with detailed information about their goals and progress towards those goals.
Motivational apps have some overlap with to-do list apps, goal setting apps, and habit tracking apps. It’s a broad category that includes many different types of apps. The most popular motivational app today is probably the one on your wrist: the Apple Watch.

A motivational app helps users form new habits and goals. It must provide value to users in order to grow its user base. A motivational app can achieve viral growth by offering a referral program that rewards both the referrer and the new user for completing certain tasks.
A motivational app faces similar legal risks to a dating app, but also faces economic and reputational risks related to the use of copyrighted content. You will want to ensure that you have paid permission to use any content in your app and that you have sufficiently verified this permission through legally binding contracts. You will also want to consider providing attribution for artists whose work is displayed within your app. As with other types of apps, you will want to protect user personal information from unauthorized access and provide users with safety mechanisms for blocking other users.
