ActionPoints turns your to-do list into a daily roguelike. Every morning starts a fresh run. Complete small real-life actions, claim XP, and climb your character from Level 1 toward the L1000 cap before the day is done. When you cash out, the Silver you banked and the Jokers you collected carry over — so every run makes the next one stronger. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Plan your day with quick Actions or repeating daily Actions - Complete Actions to claim XP and watch your run cascade upward - Climb your character through six tiers: Novice → Apprentice → Adept → Hero → Champion → Legend - Roll Standard, Bonus, and Gold reward cards — up to 2.5x XP on a Gold - Cash out at day's end and bank permanent Silver for the tier you reached - Spend Silver to collect Jokers — flat XP boosts, global multipliers, and better card odds - Level up your Jokers and drag them into a streak-gated loadout - Use AI Goals to turn big ambitions into ready-to-go Actions — and farm 3x richer cards inside Goals - Build 7 life skills on a visual profile radar (skill mastery never resets) - Speak Actions and goals with voice dictation in 13 languages - See your streak on your home screen with the Streak widget - Personalize the app with Premium themes and icons - Sign in with Apple, Google, or email EVERY DAY IS A RUN Your profile level is the score of today's run. It climbs as you complete Actions and resets to Level 1 each morning — but Silver, Jokers, skills, and your streak are permanent. A focused day can push you toward the L1000 cap; a light day still moves you forward. There's no losing — only how far you farm. COLLECT & BUILD JOKERS Jokers are collectible chips that reshape your run. Steady Hand adds flat XP, Glint Eye multiplies your whole cascade, and Bonus Whisper sweetens your card odds — and each one levels up with Silver. Drag your favorites into a loadout whose slots unlock as your streak grows, then tune your build to farm as much XP as a single day allows. CASH OUT & BANK SILVER At the end of each run, the Cash Out screen replays your day and pays out Silver based on the character tier you reached — become a Hero and you bank far more than a day spent as an Apprentice. Spend that Silver in the once-a-day shop to collect new Jokers, then dive into a fresh run. VOICE DICTATION Tap the mic on any Action title or AI Goal prompt and just talk. Live transcription with auto-punctuation in 13 languages. On iPhone, ActionPoints prefers on-device recognition first so it works offline and keeps your words on your device. Hands-free Actions while cooking, driving, or settling in for the night. HOME-SCREEN STREAK WIDGET Add the ActionPoints Streak widget to your home screen. It shows your current streak with a fire background when you've completed something today, and a frozen background when your streak is at risk. The tile flips automatically at midnight — even if the app isn't open — so you always know where you stand. AI GOALS Describe a goal like "Run a 5K", "Save money", or "Learn guitar". ActionPoints creates a practical Action plan you can start today. AI Goals respond in your language, so a Spanish-speaking user gets a Spanish plan. Tasks created inside a Goal also farm far richer reward cards — 3x the Bonus rate and 3x the Gold rate — so your big ambitions bank the most Silver. Try AI Goals, then unlock full access with Premium. YOUR APP, YOUR VIBE Premium unlocks Dark, Ocean, and Forest themes plus Royal and Space app icons. ACTIONPOINTS PREMIUM Upgrade to Premium to unlock AI Goals, Premium themes, and exclusive app icons. Monthly and yearly plans are available, with yearly marked as the best value.
