A gamification framework is a guide to help you add game-like elements to non-game contexts. These frameworks can make your interface more engaging and user-friendly. For example, consider a focus app.

Using a gamification framework to enhance the app will help you decide:

• What elements to use (like points, challenges, rewards)
• Where to place them (like in focus sessions, progress tracking)
• When to introduce them (at the start, after milestones)
• How to implement them (for example, immediate feedback or gradual progression)

By following a framework, you make sure these elements fit well with the task and context, helping users stay focused and reach their goals. It ensures that the gamification is meaningful and supports the user journey.
