Earning Tools are special utility apps you can use through the Mode Earn App to earn points from everyday actions, like locking your phone or cleaning storage. This article explains what Earning Tools are, where to find them, how progress and timers work, and what to do if you do not receive points.
What Are Earning Tools and How Do They Work?
Earning Tools are utility apps that reward you for regular, repeatable actions instead of one-time tasks.
Examples include apps that:
Lock your phone or specific apps
Clean your phone’s storage
Perform other device utility functions
Earning Tools:
Offer repeatable daily tasks
Often consist of multiple steps you can repeat several times per day
Reset every day at midnight in your local time zone
Each Earning Tool app has its own task structure and reward logic, but all of them provide recurring earning opportunities.
Where to Find Earning Tools in the Mode Earn App
You can access Earning Tools directly from the Mode Earn App home screen:
Open the Mode Earn App.
On the Home screen, scroll to the section below your Mode earning cards.
Look for the Earning Tools carousel.
If you have multiple eligible apps, swipe horizontally to browse through them.
If you do not see the Earning Tools section:
There may be no Earning Tools currently available for your account or region.
The feature may not yet be activated for your account.
Understanding Earning Tool Status States
Each Earning Tool app shows a status indicating your daily progress:
Install
The Earning Tool app is not installed on your device.
Start
You have installed the app but have not started any tasks today.
X/Y (for example, 2/5)
You are partway through your daily tasks.
X = number of steps or tasks completed today.
Y = total number of steps or tasks available for today.
✅ Checkmark
You have completed all tasks for the day and earned all available rewards for that day.
Progress bar
A visual indicator that shows how close you are to completing today’s Earning Tool tasks.
Countdown Timer: What It Is and How It Works
After you start an Earning Tool task and receive your first reward of the day:
A countdown timer appears for that app.
The timer counts down to midnight in your local time zone.
The timer helps you see how much time you have left to:
Complete remaining steps
Earn additional points or bonus rewards for that day
The countdown resets every day at midnight when tasks and rewards refresh.
What Happens After You Tap “Install”?
When you tap Install on an Earning Tool:
You are redirected to the Google Play Store.
Install the Earning Tool app from the Play Store.
After installation, open the app at least once.
Return to the Mode Earn App:
The Earning Tool detail page will automatically detect the installation.
After detection, the page updates to show:
Available tasks
Progress indicators
How many points you can earn
Detection may take a short moment after you return to Mode.
Installed but Still Seeing “Install”? What to Do
If the Mode Earn App still shows “Install” after you installed the utility app:
Confirm that:
The app is fully installed on your device.
You have opened the app at least once.
Try these troubleshooting steps:
Close and reopen the Mode Earn App.
Wait a few moments to allow the app to refresh detection.
If needed, restart your phone and open Mode again.
If the issue continues, contact Support with the app name and a brief description of the problem.
How to Earn Points with Earning Tools
Each Earning Tool app has its own earning rules, but in general:
You complete simple, repeatable tasks multiple times per day.
You may:
Earn points for each step completed, or
Earn points after completing all steps in the daily task flow (depending on the app).
Rewards reset daily, usually at midnight local time.
Your region and usage patterns may affect:
Which Earning Tools are available
How many points you can earn per day
Always review the specific Earning Tool’s description page for the exact conditions.
I Completed a Task but Did Not Receive Points
If you do not see points after completing an Earning Tool task:
Check task completion:
Make sure you have completed all required steps for that Earning Tool.
Confirm that the app shows the correct status (for example, step completed or ✅).
Check the countdown timer:
Ensure the daily timer has not reset (at midnight local time).
If the timer reset, you may be viewing a new day’s task status.
Refresh the Mode Earn App:
Close and reopen the app.
Reopen the Earning Tool detail page.
If points still do not appear, contact Support with:
The name of the Earning Tool app
The task you completed
The approximate date and time you completed the task
Any screenshots you can provide (if available)
Support can then review whether the reward was tracked or if additional steps are needed!
