When you curate or participate in the life of a community that has issued its own Hive-Engine token, you can earn new tokens. It's cool, isn't it!
But, as for the HBD and Hive Power earned on Hive when posting and curating, your have to claim your reward to see it appear in your wallet. As far as the authors' rewards are concerned, everyone is quite used to it and the various front-ends available give you the possibility of doing it easily.
Alas, when it comes to your Hive-Engine tokens, it's a whole different story. You may not even know that you are entitled to such tokens. Claiming your token can become nightmarish because you have to identify yourself on another application, check your wallet or notifications to finally be able to claim your tokens. And above all, you must not forget to do it regularly!
Enter the automation
To make your life cooler, I have created a small app that will automate this process.
Once a day (limit imposed by Hive Engine), it will check if you don't have any token(s) that you can claim. And if so, it will claim them all at once.
The app is open source and you can download the code from github
