Simple counter

+, − and reset buttons that you show or hide, a step of your choice, decimals, vibration and a beep.

Daily counter

Totals by day, week, month and year, with navigation from one date to another: glasses of water, sports sessions, cigarettes avoided…

Countdown

The time left until a date, or the time since it, with an optional repeat. Add it to your phone's calendar in one tap.

Your colours, your icons

A title, an emoji and a colour for each counter, drag and drop to reorder them, and a dark mode.

Export your counters to a file and import them back, or save them to your Dropbox and load them on another phone.

On your phone

No account: your counters are stored on your phone only. Remember to back them up regularly.
