Touchward is a sensory reward button. You finish something, you open the app, you tap, and you get a small satisfying buzz and a ripple of light back. That is the whole idea. It is a tiny ritual for closing a task, marking a win, or just giving yourself a moment. Tap it. Or hold it: a timer traces the outline of the button while you press, and when it completes you get a bigger reward. Choose tap only, hold only, or both. Make it yours - Shapes: circle, the icon's wavy ring, squircle, square, hexagon, star, heart, or blob. Every shape glows, and the hold timer follows its outline. - Ripples: each tap sends a ripple out from the button. Pick the ripple's outline, its thickness, how long it lingers before it fades, and how many rings can stack at once. - Reward modes: Original (three standing rings that a wave rolls through), Ripple, Soft, Spark, Deep, Double, and Wave. Each sets the motion and the haptic together. - Colors: a full color picker with a hue wheel, brightness slider, and hex for every aspect of the haptic reward button. - Sounds: Every tap produces a low hum. Full access grants background music to play while you tap tap tap away. The Apple Watch App features your current set configuration to tap and reward on your wrist.
