What is Display Mode?

Display Mode lets you switch between two different ways of using PointWiseSystem:

Full gamification with points, badges, and rewards. Great for kids who love earning and spending points.

✅ Simple Mode

Clean task tracker without points or rewards. Perfect for teens, adults, or anyone who prefers simplicity.

Simple Mode is perfect for:

💡 No Data Loss: Switching between modes does not delete any data. Your points, badges, and rewards are always preserved - they are just hidden in Simple Mode.
