Chores are boring, but Stengsiu! makes them fun! Stengsiu is a shared task and rewards app for families, couples, households, or even just yourself, to actually get stuff done and have fun doing it. It works by creating "Spaces", and sharing them with the people you care about. Ticking items off gives you points which you can then spend on rewards. Quests & Rewards: Create quests with set points. Set up rewards with a point cost that feels fair. Complete the quest, earn points, and claim the reward. Daily & Weekly Resets: For chores that need done daily or weekly, update the list to reset at set intervals. Level Up: Completing tasks earns you experience points, which in turn help you level up. Unlock achievements for streaks, milestones, and more. Progress can always be seen on the profile and achievement pages. Keep multiple Spaces active, and switch between them whenever you need to. A pro feature is also available allowing users to have more Spaces, and more items / rewards per list. Stengsiu is simple to set up and satisfying to use.
