About

Tiny Trumpets

Read full description

Tiny Trumpets™ is a goofy little app for the wins that don't deserve a trophy but probably deserve a trumpet. Answered an email? Opened the mail? Went outside on purpose? Tap the button, pick the tiny win, and a chorus of herald trumpets makes an entirely unreasonable fuss about it. Sometimes sincerely. Sometimes with a sad wah-wah. TOOT YOUR OWN HORN • Log a tiny win in one tap: Made It, Adulted, Fought Chaos, Did Work Sort Of, Drank Water, Went to Bed on Time and more • Add a note for the historical record • Track Today's Humanity Score TOOT SOMEONE ELSE'S • Name a friend, pick their win, and award them a Certificate of Mild Achievement • Lightly sarcastic, never mean. The joke is the trumpets, not the person. MAKE IT OFFICIAL • Put your face on the certificate with the selfie camera (it shows where the trumpet goes, so you can pretend to blow it) or pick an emoji face, then add some dignity: a crown, a "technically verified" stamp or a participation medal • Shuffle sarcastic titles like "Award for Technically Showing Up," or write your own • Send it as a picture, or as a video with the fanfare so they hear the trumpets • Post it straight to an Instagram or Facebook Story The person you send it to doesn't need the app. They just need a sense of humor. GET REVIEWED • My Performance Review grades your week, or your quarter(ish): a rank title, star rating, manager comments, an area for improvement and a signature the employee declined to provide • Share it, if you dare ALSO • Choose your fanfare: Royal, Tiny Toot, Wah-Wah, Latecomer, Classic, or Surprise Me • Optional evening reminder, for days the trumpets get bored • Lock-screen widget that opens with a fanfare, a Control Center button, and "Toot my horn" for Siri No account, no ads, no tracking. Your wins and photos stay on your iPhone. This is not a productivity system. This is not a life coach. This is a tiny trumpet for tiny moments of greatness.
