Touchward

Touchward is a sensory reward button. You finish something, you open the app, you tap, and you get a small satisfying buzz and a ripple of light back. That is the whole idea. It is a tiny ritual for closing a task, marking a win, or just giving yourself a moment. Tap it. Or hold it: a timer traces the outline of the button while you press, and when it completes you get a bigger reward. Choose tap only, hold only, or both. Keep score - Every tap counts. A big counter at the top of the screen shows today's taps and how many are left until the next milestone. - Every 500 taps, all time, the button goes berserk: for a few seconds your phone buzzes like crazy while the button shakes, pops, and runs through random colors and ripples. Then it settles down and the countdown starts again. - Your all time total lives in Customize, More, along with the next milestone. Reset it whenever you want a fresh run. Make it yours, with Touchward Full - Shapes: circle, the icon's wavy ring, squircle, square, hexagon, star, heart, or blob. Every shape glows, and the hold timer follows its outline. - Ripples: each tap sends a ripple out from the button. Pick the ripple's outline, its thickness, how long it lingers before it fades, and how many rings can stack at once. - Reward modes: Original (three standing rings that a wave rolls through), Ripple, Soft, Spark, Deep, Double, and Wave. Each sets the motion and the haptic together. - Colors: a full color picker with a hue wheel, brightness slider, and hex entry for the button, its reward colors, the three ripple colors, and the background. Save colors you like to a library under each setting. - Feel: five haptic strengths, from Gentle to Max, and on supported phones a library of over 150 haptic presets to put on a tap or on the timer. - Sounds: every tap plays a soft tone that matches its haptic, and your music keeps playing under the button. - Random: one press builds a completely new look. Save the ones you love and keep them in your library. Reminders that fit your day - Calendar nudges: with calendar access, Touchward notices when each event ends and nudges you to tap, right away or a few minutes after. The meeting is over, the workout is done, come tap. - Reminders: a schedule you set, so many hours apart between the hours you choose. - Time sensitive delivery on iPhone, so a nudge can reach you in a Focus mode. Tap from anywhere - Volume buttons: while the app is open, either volume button counts as a tap. - A link, touchward://reward, fires a tap when it opens the app. Wire it to the Action Button or Back Tap through Shortcuts. - Apple Watch: the button and its ripples on your wrist, with your reminders mirrored, and taps counted alongside the phone. Private by design No account and nothing to sign in to. No ads, and the app never asks to track you. Your settings and your counter stay on your phone. Calendar data is read only to schedule nudges and is never stored or sent. The app never asks for your email or your name. If it crashes, an anonymous report helps us fix it, and you can turn that off. Touchward is free to download: 100 rewards a day with the default look, and no ads. Touchward Full is one in-app purchase of 0.49, once: no daily limit and every shape, color, mode and haptic. No subscription. Hi, I'm Olivia. I built this app for my partner Robert and me. I hope you are having as enjoyable a time tap tap tapping away as we are.
