A minimalist approach to tracking counts. Keep as many counters as you like and access them all with a drag action from a single view! Designed for iOS with sleek animations and native reactivity to your touch, Spinner+ just feels right. Every counter is maintained independently and allows you to customize its name, set a starting value, and specify a default increment amount. Your counter names are searchable so you can always find what you're looking for. And the increment amount will add or subtract form your total with a quick tap on the related button. You can even make precise counter adjustments to your total by setting the slider that appears when you hold down the plus or minus buttons on the home screen. If your counts grow too large over time then tapping the counter face switches to the count for today without altering your overall result (tap it again to switch back). What about yesterday? Spinner+ shows counter changes over time on a graph and even lets you share with your friends Facebook or followers on Twitter.

PointUp helps parents share out family chores and make everyday responsibilities rewarding. Turn jobs into quests, add photos of rewards your children have helped choose, and celebrate progress with streaks, badges and weekly challenges. TURN EVERYDAY CHORES INTO QUESTS Tidying a bedroom, feeding the pet or finishing homework can all become quests. Build a family chore chart with clear tasks and Gold values. Bring kids' chores and daily routines together in one place, so children can see the next job and how it contributes to their goal. REWARDS THEY CAN PICTURE Create your family's own reward shop with rewards you choose together. Add your own photos so a favorite toy, a trip out or a family movie night feels like a real goal. Children save Gold, PointUp's in-app points, and redeem it for rewards you provide. You choose the rewards and their Gold prices, from extra screen time to treats or allowance. STREAKS THAT MAKE EFFORT VISIBLE Give children a reason to keep coming back. Personal streaks recognize regular contributions, while family streaks give everyone something to build together. Celebrate milestones and see how small jobs add up over time. With Pro, streak bonuses can add extra Gold and XP to completed quests. BADGES, XP AND LEVELS TO BE PROUD OF Completing quests earns experience points, or XP, as well as Gold. Children work toward badges and new levels, with a journey that makes their progress visible. Personal and family achievements give you something to celebrate beyond a check mark on a chore chart. Parents earn badges for supporting the family too. WEEKLY CHALLENGES FOR YOUR FAMILY Give the week a shared goal, such as completing quests together or building a run of streak days. Follow your family's progress and work toward bonus Gold and XP. Parents can choose challenges that suit their household, adding variety as children work toward the next achievement. PHOTO PROOF, WITH YOU IN CONTROL Choose one-tap completion, optional photos or required photo proof for your family, with individual settings for each child. Children can show their finished work, and parents can review completion before Gold is awarded. Match the checks to your child's growing independence. FOCUS ON ONE STEP AT A TIME Long lists can feel overwhelming. Focus Mode shows one task at a time, and subtasks break bigger chores into manageable steps. Calm Mode, reduced motion and adjustable text help you tailor the experience. For families managing ADHD or children who prefer a quieter screen, these tools offer practical ways to make the next step clearer. PLAN TOGETHER WITH POINTUP PRO Use shared team chores to let siblings work together. Set deadlines and daily, weekly or monthly recurring schedules, use task templates and sync with your calendar. Spend less time setting up the same household jobs. Parents can also take on their own quests and level up alongside their children. START WITH YOUR FAMILY Start free with up to 5 active chores, 5 available rewards and 3 family members, including reward photos, streak tracking, badges, weekly challenges and Focus Mode. Pro adds unlimited chores, rewards and family members, plus the Pro features above. See the app for current subscription options.
