How Calm climbs
Two ways, and only two. Anyone can pay, and the amount paid is the amount added. Or anyone can tap, free, with no account and no card.
Tapping does not mint points. Each tap releases about a penny into that hour’s pool, up to a ceiling, and whatever is in the pool at the top of the hour is split between the apps that got tapped, by share. A quiet hour has a small pool rather than the same pool split fewer ways, so a tap is worth about the same whenever it happens. No app can take more than a quarter of any one hour, which is why there is no sign-up.
The full rules set out the numbers.
