Why PointWiseSystem?
PointWiseSystem started as a simple idea: create a reward system that actually works. Whether you're a parent managing chores, a teacher tracking classroom behavior, or a therapist running a token economy, you need something that's simple to use daily but powerful enough to drive real behavior change.
Here's a complete guide to every feature that makes PointWiseSystem different.
🎯 Core Features
Point-Based Reward System
At its heart, PointWiseSystem is simple: complete tasks, earn points, redeem rewards. But the magic is in the details:
- Instant feedback - Points update immediately when tasks are completed
- Visual progress - See point totals prominently displayed
- Customizable values - Set point values that match task difficulty
- Flexible rewards - Create rewards at any point level
Multiple Earners
Track multiple people on one account:
- Each "earner" has their own point balance
- Switch between earners with one tap
- Perfect for families with multiple kids, classrooms, or therapy clients
- Basic tier: 5 earners | Plus tier: Unlimited
Pre-Made Templates
Don't start from scratch. Choose a profile and get pre-loaded tasks and rewards:
- Family - Chores, homework, behavior tasks
- Personal - Habit tracking, self-improvement goals
- Classroom - Student behavior, participation, assignments
- Homeschool - Subject completion, learning goals
- Behavioral Therapy - ABA-specific targets, token economy setup
- Sports Team - Practice attendance, effort, teamwork
- After-School Program - Activity completion, behavior
- Summer Camp - Daily activities, participation
- Workplace - Professional development, team goals
💡 Customize Everything
Templates are just starting points. Add, edit, or remove any task or reward. Change point values. Make it yours.
📱 Kiosk Mode
One of our most popular features. Kiosk Mode transforms any device into a dedicated reward station:
How It Works
- Enable Kiosk Mode in Settings
- The interface simplifies to just task buttons and point totals
- Kids/students can tap completed tasks themselves
- Settings are hidden and PIN-protected
Perfect For
- Kitchen tablet - Mount an old iPad and let kids check off chores
- Classroom display - Project on smartboard or use a dedicated tablet
- Therapy sessions - Quick token delivery without navigating menus
Security
PIN protection ensures kids can't access settings, change point values, or give themselves fake points. They can only complete tasks and view their progress.
✨ Simple Mode
Not everyone wants points. Simple Mode strips away the gamification for a pure task-tracking experience:
What Changes
- Points are hidden from the interface
- Tasks become simple checkboxes
- Focus shifts to completion, not accumulation
- Rewards section is hidden
Who It's For
- Adults who want habit tracking without gamification
- Families who prefer intrinsic motivation
- Situations where points feel inappropriate
- Users who want a clean, minimal interface
Toggle Simple Mode on/off anytime in Settings. Your points are still tracked in the background if you change your mind.
🔄 Recurring Tasks
Set it and forget it. Recurring tasks automatically reset on your schedule:
Schedule Options
- Daily - Resets every day (morning routine, daily chores)
- Weekly - Resets on specific days (weekly cleaning, practice schedule)
- Custom - Set your own reset schedule
How It Works
- Create a task and mark it as recurring
- Choose the reset schedule
- Task automatically becomes available again after reset
- No manual intervention needed
Perfect for daily routines, weekly chores, or any task that repeats regularly.
🏆 Badges & Achievements
Celebrate milestones with automatic badge awards:
Badge Categories
- Point milestones - First 100 points, 500 points, 1000 points
- Task streaks - Complete tasks multiple days in a row
- Redemption badges - First reward redeemed, big reward earned
- Special achievements - Perfect week, early bird, and more
Why Badges Matter
Badges provide recognition beyond points. They mark progress, celebrate consistency, and give something to show off. Kids especially love collecting badges.

Share management with another adult:
Use Cases

How It Works
