Free on Android. Take part, and coins arrive on their own.
On tonight
There is always something on

Watch
Open it, and something is already there
Stream is the screen you land on: short films, clips, the chapter you left open, whatever your friends are up to. It is tuned by what you actually watch rather than by what is loudest today, and it is different every time you look.
Everything in one scroll
A film, a chapter and a friend's mood arrive in the same place. You do not go somewhere else to read — the reading comes to you.
One reaction, and it means something
Spark the things that deserve it. There is no heart anywhere in PixaEarn and no six-way emoji panel — one mark, and the Stream learns from it.
Put it down without losing it
Save a post, a chapter or a single line. Your place follows you between devices, so stopping halfway is not a decision you have to make.
Read
Stories you fall into, a chapter at a time
One chapter is a story; several make a book. Nothing is bought, nothing is locked and there is no price on anything — this is a library, not a bookstore. The only number on a work is what the people who finished it thought.
It opens where you stopped
Come back a week later and the book is on the right paragraph. Keep a few on your phone for the train while you are there.
Bookmarks keep the sentence
Long-press a line and PixaEarn keeps the words themselves — set in the type you read them in — rather than a page number you will not recognise later.
Or write one
Start with a chapter. Publish when you have something. Readers catch up, and each chapter gets a room of its own to be argued about in.
Listen
Voices for the walk home
Put something on, put the phone in your pocket and keep going. Podcasts, audio stories and live rooms — the part of PixaEarn that works with the screen off.
Shows, stories and live rooms
Series you follow, single episodes, chapters read aloud, and people talking live with the room answering back.
It waits where you left it
Lock the phone mid-sentence and the next thing you hear is the rest of that sentence — on any device you signed in on.
Play
Two games, and one of them pays
Two games PixaEarn made, sitting inside the app you are already in. Two, and that is the whole collection — no store, no catalogue, no install button and nothing to buy. They are simply there.
PixaClimb
Explore a hand-built world and finish what the mission asks.
Orbit Dash
One tap. Two rings. Clear what is coming at you.
A mission, not a high score
PixaClimb sets one objective a run and it survives dying. The world is rebuilt; the thing you were sent to do is not.
One tap, and it never stops
Orbit Dash has no finish line. Every ten points the world crosses a band and gets faster, tighter and a different colour.
Playing pays
PixaClimb pays coins for the runs you record, priced by the server that records them. Orbit Dash keeps a board and pays nothing — and says so.
People
Nobody watches alone
Every chapter, episode, round and post has a conversation of its own. Not a comment box bolted underneath everything — a room per thing, with the people who got as far as you did.
A room per thing, not one box for everything
A book with 5 chapters has 5 conversations. You can say what chapter 4 did to you without walking into what happens in chapter 5.
Find the people, not just the thing
Follow whoever made it, connect with whoever is talking about it, and let Discover do the introductions. One search covers films, books, podcasts, games, topics and people.
Report from wherever you are
Muting, hiding and reporting live on the post and in the conversation — one tap from the thing that bothered you, not four screens away in a settings tree.
Create
And when you have something to make
Most people here watch and read, and that is a whole way to use PixaEarn. But the button is there when you want it, and it opens a chooser rather than a blank box.
- A post
- A mood
- A story
- A book
- A challenge
- A podcast
- Live
- Audio
Eight formats, eight finished editors. Nothing on that list is marked coming soon — not here, and not in the app.
Decide who it is for, every time
Everyone, the people who follow you, or the people who support you. Audience is a choice you make on the post, not a setting you configure once and then forget you configured.
Appreciation arrives where you are
A gift lands on the post or in the conversation, from a person who wanted to say more than a Spark. Nothing is invoiced, nothing is negotiated, and it happens in the same list as the talking.
Rewards
Coins arrive on their own. Nothing to grind.
This is the part the name is about, and it is the eighth thing on this page for a reason. Coins land for taking part — there is nothing to stake, nothing to buy, no quota and no task list. If you never once think about them, PixaEarn works exactly the same.
- For watching and readingTime you were going to spend anyway.
- For making somethingPosts, chapters, episodes, rounds.
- For being worth a giftSent by a person, on the thing they liked.
- For turning upStreaks, milestones, tonight's challenge.
Your wallet is a record of having taken part rather than an account: where things came from, what the week looked like, who sent you something. A payout is the one way coins leave, and it is subject to identity verification and the rules of where you live.
Questions
The things people ask first
What is on it, what it costs, and — because the name invites it — how the coins work.
What is PixaEarn?
A social entertainment platform. You watch short films and clips, read stories and books, listen to podcasts, play quick games and talk to people who like what you like. You can make things too, if you want to. Coins arrive for taking part, but they are the reward rather than the reason.
What is actually on there?
Video from a few minutes to a full episode, stories and books published a chapter at a time, podcasts and audio, live broadcasts, a small set of games, and a conversation attached to every one of those things. Your Stream mixes all of it into one scroll rather than sorting it into tabs.
Is it free?
Yes. PixaEarn is free to join and free to use. Nothing inside it is bought — stories and books have no price, and PixaPlay has no store.
Do I have to create anything?
No. Most people watch, read and listen, and that is a complete way to use PixaEarn. Create is one button when you want it, and it opens eight real formats rather than a blank box.
What is a Spark?
Appreciation — the one reaction a post has on PixaEarn. It replaces the like, and there is no heart anywhere in the product. You Spark something; the count is Sparks.
What is a Mood?
A lightweight status: a word for how today feels, shared with the people who follow you. It is the reason PixaEarn has no Stories — nothing here expires on a timer or puts a ring around your face.
How does earning actually work?
Coins arrive for taking part — watching, reading, creating, playing a round, turning up on a streak, or being sent a gift by someone who liked what you made. There is no stake to put up, no quota to hit and no task list to grind. If you never think about coins, PixaEarn still works.
Is this a crypto or Web3 app?
No. Coins are a count of things you did on PixaEarn. There is no token, no wallet to connect, no blockchain, nothing to invest in and nothing to buy in order to start. You cannot purchase coins, and nobody can trade them with you.
Can I take coins out?
Yes. A payout is the one outward door, and it sits in your wallet alongside the record of where everything came from. Payouts are subject to identity verification and the rules of where you live.
What can I make?
A Stream post, a Mood, a story or a book, a PixaPlay challenge, exclusive content for supporters, a podcast, a live broadcast, or audio. Each one opens its own editor. Nothing on the list is marked coming soon.
Which devices does it run on?
PixaEarn is an Android app. This site is the front door; the product lives on your phone.
Watch. Read. Play. Talk.
Free to join, on Android. Bring whatever you already like watching, reading or arguing about — the rest turns up on its own.
