iPhone game · offline
So does the bill paid on the due date, and the parcel that finally left the hallway. Still Counts is a small iPhone game for life admin: up to seven quests, a short round, a prize you picked. Your score only goes up.
Tap the bird. It only goes up.
The one belief
A reply sent on Tuesday stays sent when Wednesday goes sideways. The score only moves up. Nothing decays, nothing resets, and no screen ever shows how much you could have done.
Wins add up and never go back. No resets, no penalties. A day without a win is a plain blank square, with no red and no message.
Every quest has two short rules: what counts and what doesn't. At most seven at a time, in rounds of 7, 14, 21 or 28 days.
Name your prize and set how many wins unlock it. No account, no analytics, no ads. Everything stays on your phone.
How a round works
Start from The basics or one of ten boards for the small stuff that piles up: job hunting, desk days, the house, money, your phone. Swap or rewrite any quest later.
Choose 7, 14, 21 or 28 days. Tick off what you managed. Leave the rest. The game is still there when you come back.
Every completed quest is a win. Wins add up toward the prize you named. When you get there, you claim it. The next round starts when you say so.
Quest rules
“Clean the kitchen” is impossible to tick. “The sink is empty” isn't. Each quest comes with two short rules, so you never have to argue with yourself about whether it's done.
Send that reply

The safe pick
Five everyday quests to get going.
Work, home and a project. No perfect day required.
You moved in. The boxes are still deciding.
Applications, replies and the bits in between.
A reply sent. A mug removed. Evidence of a working day.
A few things for looking after yourself. Choose what fits.
The small jobs that keep a home going.
A bill, a receipt, one less thing left hanging.
Fewer old emails. More room for the next screenshot.
Parcels, pickups and things finally booked.
One letter, one call, one less thing circling your head.
Your prize
You name the prize and decide how many wins unlock it. The thing that has been sitting in your cart. A guilt-free afternoon. Getting rid of one annoying thing.
When you get there, you claim it. The app says “Yours.” and means it. The round keeps running.
Yours.

About Still Counts
Still Counts is a motivational toy, not a treatment. It won't diagnose or manage ADHD, or anything else, and it's no substitute for real care.
Nothing resets. Nothing decays. A day without a win is a plain blank square, with no red and no message about it.
No account, no cloud, no analytics, no ads. Everything stays on your phone.
Nobody to beat and nobody to compare with. It's your board.
No pep talk. No exclamation marks. Just a small game for the things that still count.

A bug, a quest idea, a board we haven't thought of, or a spot in the beta. One person reads these, so short is fine.
