Still Counts

iPhone game · offline

The reply you sent three days late still counts.

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

Every day you did the basics is permanent.

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.

01

Your score only goes up.

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.

02

Everything is clear before you start.

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.

03

You pick the prize. Nobody is watching.

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

Three steps. That's the whole game.

  1. Pick a board

    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.

  2. Play a round

    Choose 7, 14, 21 or 28 days. Tick off what you managed. Leave the rest. The game is still there when you come back.

  3. Claim your prize

    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

Every quest says what counts.

“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

Counts

The message you've been avoiding, sent.

Doesn't count

A draft saved for tomorrow's polishing department.

Starting boards

Start from a board that fits.

Eleven starting boards, each with five to seven quests. Every quest is still yours to swap or rewrite.

The safe pick

The basics

Five everyday quests to get going.

Keeping the wheels on

Work, home and a project. No perfect day required.

Unpacked eventually

You moved in. The boxes are still deciding.

Job hunt, in small pieces

Applications, replies and the bits in between.

Desk days

A reply sent. A mug removed. Evidence of a working day.

Body upkeep

A few things for looking after yourself. Choose what fits.

House, ticking over

The small jobs that keep a home going.

Money, one thing at a time

A bill, a receipt, one less thing left hanging.

Phone, sorted

Fewer old emails. More room for the next screenshot.

Errands, done

Parcels, pickups and things finally booked.

Admin, but tiny

One letter, one call, one less thing circling your head.

Your prize

What are we playing for?

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

What this is not.

A treatment

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.

A scoreboard that punishes

Nothing resets. Nothing decays. A day without a win is a plain blank square, with no red and no message about it.

Watching you

No account, no cloud, no analytics, no ads. Everything stays on your phone.

A competition

Nobody to beat and nobody to compare with. It's your board.

A coach

No pep talk. No exclamation marks. Just a small game for the things that still count.
