After opening Kudos, it’s time to list your rewards.
Swipe left to open the rewards panel. Think of some things you do to treat yourself, or make you say “I’ve earned this!”
Tap or click the plus button to add a new reward, and name it whatever you want! Assign a point value “cost” you think is appropriate.
For example, going out for coffee might be worth 10 points, but buying a new outfit might be 20.

Once you’ve added a couple of rewards, swipe back to the habits panel. There, you can add past habits from an existing library or create a new one.
Just like your rewards cost points, completing your habits earns you points.
Swipe to the left on an active habit to award yourself points depending on how successful you feel.
⭐️ = Full Points
👍 = Half Points
👎 = Minus Points (and that’s OK!)

As you use Kudos your points will accumulate and you can use them to reward yourself.
Want to drink less soda and more water? Set drinking a certain amount of water per day as a 2-point habit, and reward yourself with a 15-point soda at the end of the week!
Each day leave a habit active, it’s point value decreases by 1.
If you struggle to maintain cleaning your room each week, set it as a task worth 5 points and activate it at the start of each week. The longer you wait to clean it, the less points you earn when you do. Get tasks done quickly to maximize your points!
