Maybe if Santa is reading, he can have an easier time of keeping track of who is naughty and who is nice with this iPhone app. Of course that is assuming that there is a Santa Claus and if he owns an iPhone!

Regardless, here is a new app that helps people keep track of good and bad deeds called Touch Karma. Three mini applications in one, new ‘Touch Karma’ for Apple iPod Touch and iPhone tracks friends’ good deeds as well as bad ones, records kids’ naughty and nice behavior, and acts as a virtual piggy bank. Challenge kids with the right amount of chores before their next reward using ‘Karma for Kids’; with ‘Karma for Friends’, users can evaluate relationships with friends and co-workers according to their deeds; employ the help of a virtual piggy bank to persuade oneself to save money.

‘Karma for Kids’ helps parents track their children’s good and not-so-good deeds by accumulating positive or negative karma points. A simple and easy-to-use interface allows parents to record pre-set points awarded based on good behavior. When the qualifying amount of points is reached, kids win a prize pre-chosen by parents.

Calculate who your best friends are with ‘Karma for Friends’. This mini-app helps keep tabs on friends’ actions by assigning positive or negative karma points, from -5 to +5. By the end of the week/month/year, users are able to determine who their best friends are.

Fill up a cute, virtual piggy bank with the exact coinage needed to reach a savings goal. Parents can encourage saving habits in their children with ‘Piggy Bank’ while teaching them the value of saving. For each good deed or bad deed performed, parents can add or deduct a dollar amount until the tally reaches a pre-set monetary goal.
