About PettyPoints
PettyPoints is a lifestyle and family iOS application designed to turn everyday relationship squabbles into a fun, gamified competition. Whether you are constantly arguing over the dishes, the thermostat, or who actually took out the trash, PettyPoints helps you keep score with official rules, receipts, and a verdict.
Users can file a 'crime' the exact second it happens, complete with photo evidence. If your partner denies the infraction, the app lets you take the dispute to a jury of up to three friends who vote blindly. The scoreboard remains impartial, and at the end of the week, an AI feature writes a personalized roast of the loser using their own recorded offenses.
Built with an accessible payment model where one partner pays and the other plays free, PettyPoints requires no subscription ever.

About Glimps
Glimps is an innovative, gamified iOS exploration app that turns the real world into an interactive fog-of-war map. Designed to encourage physical activity and urban discovery, the app starts with the world covered in fog, which users lift by physically walking through locations.
Offering a unique blend of fitness tracking, travel logging, and artificial intelligence, Glimps allows users to claim landmarks by standing near them for 30 seconds, stamp cities into a digital travel passport, and watch their overall exploration percentage climb. With support for 3,800 landmarks across 85 cities, explorers can compete on leaderboards, follow community walking routes, and utilize Glimps AI to get personalized recommendations on where to walk next.
To ensure fair play and authentic engagement, every scored step is GPS-verified server-side, preventing users from faking progress from the couch. Once you have uncovered an area, you can easily share your achievements using a customized "City Wrapped" card of your mapped journey. Glimps is available for free on iPhone.
