How it works

NoticeEncourageRepeat

One shared jar for each child, a small daily practice of noticing and a quiet record of the encouragement your family is building.

The Pebble Cycle

Three quiet actions repeated

  1. Notice

    Spot the everyday moments of kindness, effort and progress that usually pass by unmentioned.

  2. Encourage

    Recognise the moment with a Pebble. One tap, one Pebble, one behaviour made visible.

  3. Repeat

    Repeat those moments over time. Consistent encouragement helps positive behaviours become familiar habits.

The core experience

Notice the moments that matter

When you notice a behaviour you want to encourage, recognise it with a Pebble. Each one adds to their jar and makes the positive moment visible to you and to them.

The jar is just the beginning

As those small moments build, The Pebble App helps families see progress, reinforce the behaviours that matter and recognise the story developing over time.

Pebble Momentum

See the encouragement that’s building

Momentum is the story of the moments you’ve recognised over time. Each point represents a behaviour you’ve noticed, with milestones and earned rewards becoming part of the journey too.

There’s no streak to maintain and no perfect path to follow. It’s simply a way to look back at the encouragement that’s building over time.

Habit Focus

Focus on one habit at a time

Choose one behaviour you’d particularly like to encourage. Notice it 10 times to complete a Habit Focus cycle and help reinforce the habit through repetition.

Every other behaviour still counts. Habit Focus simply gives one of them a little extra attention.

Rewards

Progress worth celebrating

Choose a reward together and watch the jar fill towards it. The Pebble App keeps track of what’s been earned and what’s still owed, so nothing promised gets forgotten.

The reward supports the practice of noticing. The encouragement remains the important part.

Learn

The thinking behind every Pebble

The Pebble App includes short, practical reads covering the Pebble Framework, the seven Pebble Principles and everyday ways to use positive reinforcement well. Notice. Encourage. Repeat.

Family Circle

Encouragement works better together

The Pebble App Plus brings up to 5 children and 5 adults into one shared Family Circle. Parents, grandparents, carers and other important adults can all add encouragement, building one shared picture across different homes and routines.
