Earn XP, levels, and badges.

How TimeLens rewards progress

TimeLens tracks XP, levels, and badges separately. XP is a point total from workspace activity. Levels use platform involvement and breadth. Levels use platform involvement, not XP. Activity for level L (L≥2) = (L−1)² × 3 + (L−1) × 5. Level 1 is Welcome Finisher (complete the Welcome journey).
