Earned Today

An idle app that doesn’t have much purpose except to show how much you earn per second, minute, or hour depending on your monthly or yearly income. You simply enter your income and watch coins fall into a piggy bank. There is also a schedule option where you select working days and hours, as well as an item you are saving money for.

The only thing you get from the game is a carrot every five minutes. When you idle long enough and collect a bunch of carrots, you can use them to buy new skins for the piggy bank and coins. There are also achievements, but as with most idle games, they require you to have the game open for an ungodly amount of time.

The concept taps into something surprisingly satisfying. Watching visible growth tied to daily effort creates a subtle sense of achievement that makes ordinary routines feel a little more rewarding.
