The Workshop
Coins gather while the app is shut, and one tap collects them.
Collect it in one tap
Close the app and she gathers a few Coins. One tap on her dashboard card takes them. No dialog, no animation to sit through, no collect-all upsell.
The bucket fills only while the app is shut. Leave LifeNotes open on your screen and it gathers nothing.
The rate tracks a fifth of your earnings
It reads the last seven days. Average 50 Coins a day from work and the Workshop gathers 7.
| Your last seven days | Workshop gathers | A full bucket holds |
|---|---|---|
| 20 Coins a day | 3 a day | 1 Coin |
| 50 Coins a day | 7 a day | 4 Coins |
| 90 Coins a day | 13 a day | 7 Coins |
A high Health row enlarges the bucket. That is the difference between two clean collects a day and losing the tail end of a long absence.
Collect twice, then it holds
The bucket fills for twelve hours and then stops. Two collects spread across a day take the lot, and a third visit finds nothing.
Checking once costs you nothing. The bucket keeps what it has until you take it.
It fades if you stop
A week without completions drags the rate toward zero on its own, because the rate follows those seven days. The Workshop is a shadow of your work. Remove the work and the shadow goes with it.
Come back after a quiet fortnight and it restarts small, then builds over the following week.
Nothing counts down and nothing is for sale
Three things other apps would include are missing here.
- No countdown runs, because telling you when the bucket fills would be booking you an appointment.
- No purchase skips the fill or empties the bucket early.
- No permanent badge sits on her card, which shows just her when there is nothing to collect.
