Rewards

Overview

Rewards lets you treat yourself for getting things done. Make a list of rewards, attach them to tasks or projects, and when you complete one, you earn its reward.

Turning it on

Turn on Rewards in your Features list (in the Gamification group). Rewards is set up and managed on desktop and web.

Creating rewards

  1. Open Rewards from the main menu (☰).

  2. Click + Add Reward and give it a name.

  3. New rewards are one-time. To be able to earn a reward again and again, click one-time under it (or the pin icon) so it shows pinned.

Attaching a reward

  1. Add the Attach reward action to your right-click menu or hover buttons.

  2. Use it on a task or project and choose a reward.

A gift icon shows on tasks and projects that have a reward attached. On mobile you'll see the gift icon too.

Earning and spending rewards

When you complete a task or project with a reward attached, Marvin tells you that you've earned it. It then shows under Earned Rewards on the Rewards screen. When you've enjoyed it, click its check button (Spend Reward).

Spent rewards move to the archive. Click the archive icon at the top of the Rewards screen to see them, or to unarchive one so you can earn it again.
