ActionReward 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.

About

InSight Countdown

Features
Read full description

Keep what matters in sight. InSight Countdown turns the wait for what matters into something you look forward to seeing. Set a countdown to an exact date and time — your flight, an exam, a birthday, a deadline — not just a vague duration. A huge, glanceable countdown fills your screen, ticking down the days, hours, minutes, and seconds to the precise moment. FEATURES • Count down to an exact date & time Pick the exact calendar date and time of your event — or a simple duration when that's all you need. The closest event is always front and center. Add a note — flight number, gate, address — shown in small type under the name. • Synced across your devices Your countdowns stay in sync between iPhone, iPad, and Mac through your private iCloud — the same events, each keeping its own visualization, follow you everywhere. Your countdowns are yours — their content is never sent to us. • Choose how time looks Watch time melt away in a draining hourglass, a progress ring, a rounded bar, a Time-Timer-style shrinking disc, a dot grid, a dot dial, a solar eclipse, an unwinding spiral, or a sun along its day arc — plus themed styles: a Christmas tree lighting up branch by branch, a birthday cake whose candles flicker on, a beach parasol opening as the sun rises, a juice glass that fills, a dumbbell loading up plate by plate, a car climbing a mountain road, a plane arcing around a globe, and lit-up landmarks (the Eiffel Tower, Burj Khalifa). Pick a look that fits the occasion — a parasol for a trip, a cake for a birthday — so a glance tells you what's coming. Swipe to switch right on the countdown; each remembers its own. Landscape keeps a linear bar. • Make it yours Pick a digit font — from a clean system face to a retro seven-segment LCD — and tint the whole app with a preset accent color or any color you choose. • Many countdowns, one glance The nearest event takes the main screen; the rest sit in a quick-access bottom bar. Choose per countdown when it takes the main screen — always, only when it's near, only on its day, or never — so a far-off event doesn't crowd out nearer ones. Or watch several at once on any device: Duo fits two to your screen, and a large grid shows four. iPad and Mac add a denser small grid and a zoomed layout that enlarges the nearest event. Called off? Archive it instead of deleting — it waits until you set a new date. • Daily & weekly repeats Set a countdown to repeat every day, or on the weekdays you choose (say Mon/Wed/Fri), and it rolls forward automatically after it finishes — great for routines, classes, standups, and recurring reminders. • Beat procrastination — and have fun doing it A deadline you can see is harder to ignore. Keep the countdown in front of you — full screen or on the Lock Screen — and watch the remaining time melt away. Better yet, the task you kept putting off becomes a screen you want to watch. • Lock Screen & Dynamic Island Show your countdowns as Live Activities on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Choose per countdown when it appears. • Doubles as an alarm across your devices The instant a countdown hits zero, an alert breaks through silent mode and Focus — and on iOS 26 it rings until you dismiss it — or snooze it for five more minutes — so any countdown works as a full alarm. Add an early reminder (from 10 seconds to a day before), or ring the alarm up to 3 minutes ahead. Because your countdowns sync through iCloud, the same alarm can ring on whichever device is with you. • iPhone, iPad & Mac The full-screen countdown adapts to any size and rotation — a phone in your pocket, an iPad propped up as an always-on display, or a resizable Mac window. The controls fade away when you're not touching the screen, leaving just the countdown. • Stays awake when you want Optional screen-lock control keeps the display on — always or only while charging — so your countdown stays in sight. Free. No account needed. Your countdowns are yours.
