"Got up today, good job." Good Job Pointer stacks the small things you manage each day into good jobs. ■ It never scolds you There are no penalties for skipping, and no days painted red for missing. The good jobs you stack up never go down. So it is fine if a streak breaks. Nothing you have done gets taken away. ■ One tap is all it takes "Got up, good job." "Ate something, good job." "Got some sunlight, good job." Tap one of the ready-made items and it stacks up. Every tap, the cat quietly praises you. ■ Make good jobs that are only yours What counts as a good job is yours to decide. "Got out of bed." "Took my medicine." "Walked a little." However small, you can add it yourself. You can also choose how many times a day each one can be tapped. ■ A graph that only goes up You can look back at what you have stacked up at any time. This line never goes down. The effort you have put in simply becomes a shape. ■ Set your own rewards For each item you can set "after this many times, a reward." The moment you get there, the cat turns up holding a present. What the reward is, is yours to decide. ■ Keep it as a keepsake Your total good jobs, the days you recorded and the rewards you reached can be saved to your device as a single image. Share it only if you want to. Not sharing is completely fine. ■ Your choice of tone The praise can be casual or polite. The wording changes with the date, so it is different each day. ■ Reminders that nudge, gently Set as many times as you like, whenever you like. Turn one off with a single tap when you do not need it. It will not get in the way of your pace. ■ Change the character freely Use the default cat, or set any picture from your device as your character. You do not have to try too hard. Days you could not manage are fine too. Good Job Pointer exists to tell today's you: good job. ・Available in English, Japanese, Korean and Traditional Chinese. You can switch the language in Settings at any time after installing, so the language in the screenshots is not the language you are stuck with. ・All your records stay on your device (nothing is sent to an external server). ・This app shows ads so that you can use it for free.
