What the app checks
Whether the display is awake, the session is unlocked, the Mac was used in the last five minutes, the Dock is showing (auto-hide off, no full-screen app), and the tile is running. That is the full list. Earning requires a Mac with a Secure Enclave (any Apple Silicon Mac, or an Intel Mac with the T2 chip).
