Decide how many pickups you get a day.
Every pickup gets counted, automatically. Your running total lives on your home screen, all day.

Under the hood: a companion app sets your limit and keeps score; NFC confirms the case is on your phone; BLE and a thin battery fire the module. The zap is strictly opt-in. Full safety spec below.
