Companion Guide Earning Coins The Workshop

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.

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.
