Overview

Start here.

She runs on finished work

Your companion grows on work you were going to do anyway. A finished task pays a couple of Coins. Keep a habit, close a goal or log a focus block and the amount rises. Those Coins buy levels on the sheet, a hat, a better bowl, and objects for the room.

She pays you nothing for showing up. Opening the app earns zero, and tapping her earns six Coins on your very best day. The only way to build any of it up is to get things done.

Coins and Keys never touch your Points

You already earn Points. Coins and Keys arrive with the companion and run on their own.

Counter	What it is	Where it goes
Points	What your effort is worth to you	Your own rewards store, same as always
Coins	What the companion runs on	The sheet, the looks, the room
Keys	One Key opens one locked thing	A character, a look, a room, or a form

Coins and Points do not exchange in either direction. Earning Coins takes nothing away from what you can spend on yourself.

The whole system lives on three screens

The companion has her own page in the app, and the sheet opens from a card under the stat tiles.

The dashboard card shows her, today's Daily Set, and anything ready to collect.
The sheet holds the rows you level, the slots you dress, and a stat block totaling it all up.
The Ledger lists every Coin and Key you ever earned beside the thing that earned it.

Read these two first

Learn these and most of the guide follows without looking anything up.

The day runs out Every screen finishes inside ninety seconds. Coins hit a soft daily limit, the Daily Set holds three slots, the Play Meter empties, the Workshop bucket fills and stops. When you have done everything, you have done everything.

Your life sets the ceiling Each row on the sheet stops at the level your matching life zone allows, and zone levels come off your dated habit completions. Coins and Keys buy width: more characters, more looks, more rooms. Depth you have to earn.

These three cover a full day of play.

How a day worksA visit from open to close, and what ripens while you are gone. CoinsWhat each thing pays, and where the limits sit. Locked rowsThe one thing Coins cannot buy, and how to open it.

Each line says what a page covers

The sidebar carries the same list. This grid adds a line on each page so you can pick without opening it.

Earning Coins

Coins come from finished work, and each source carries a limit.

CoinsEvery Coin traces back to something you finished. The Daily SetThree of your own items get pulled each morning, and all three pay ten. The Focus LadderCoins for time spent concentrating. Four rungs reach 28 Coins. The WorkshopCoins gather while the app is shut, and one tap collects them. The Play MeterTwenty taps fill the bar, and after three fills she plays for free.

Your companion

The sheet holds the rows you level and the looks you buy.

The Companion SheetThe main screen puts her in the middle of four things. The seven rowsSeven rows each run ten levels deep. Locked rowsA row stops where your life zone stops. Here is how to move it. Slots and looksEight slots hold five tiers apiece. Forms stay yours once unlocked. Care and bondThree taps feed her bond, and bond opens things. The LedgerEvery Coin and Key sits next to the thing that earned it.

Rewards

The reward list you already keep drives all of it.

Rewards and the ShelfShe fetches whatever you buy yourself. Streaks and shieldsA missed day takes one day and not the streak. Shields cover it.

The long run

Traits, trophies and a household arrive after the first few months.

KeysOne Key opens one thing. Farming produces none. One-time rewardsTen steps pay nine Keys between them. Each is claimable once. TraitsHabits come from the parts of your life you keep going. Trophies and keepsakesThe room fills with one object per milestone. Household and roomsFour companions share one bowl. Rooms to wander come with them.
