Absolutely beautiful.
It is utterly perfect. More apps should follow this model of “imitating” the same style that Apple already has in place.
I would like to see a way to keep a history/record of counters on each day, or a way to sync the counter with iOS’s Calendar app and be able to record timestamps.
I absolutely love that you keep it free, but to charge a one-time lifetime fee would be perfectly reasonable if you needed it. I and many other people would love to pay for it.

Thanks a lot for your kind review. It pretty much made my day! 😊 I might actually add back some sort of donation feature if Apple lets me, but I want to keep the app free for the near future. A history of records is already on my bucket list, but very much at the bottom as it would kind of double the app’s complexity, both from a user interface perspective and from a data model perspective. The core goal of this app is ultimate simplicity, so a feature like that would require very thorough planning and thinking. It will take time. A calendar sync is out of scope for now. But I’m not sure if I understand your feature request correctly. Feel free to send me an e-mail through app settings to pitch your idea. 😉 Again, thanks so much for sharing these ideas and sending such positive vibes! 🙏
Gorgeous! But needs more settings
Except it needs a couple extra settings for each timer, specifically a Reset Timer. I’d like to use this for counting how many time a day I notice a particular action so I’d like a checkbox in the Counter Settings that automatically resets the counter each day at midnight. Thank you!

Thanks for your review! The reason why there is no auto-reset is that it would destroy your information (the counter value). What good is a counter that automatically resets every 24 hours when you can’t retrieve the last value before it reset? I could solve this problem by adding a statistics screen for each counter and I might do that at some point in the future, but only if I get the time and find a way to add this feature without cluttering the user interface. The core idea of this app is simplicity. That’s precisely what makes it beautiful and fun to use in my opinion. So for every new feature, I need to carefully evaluate every suggested feature, whether it serves the app’s main purpose or adds noise at the cost of simplicity. And its main purpose is counting, not habit tracking. I hope you understand this approach. Tip: There’s an app called “Tally” by another developer that has tons of features, including statistics. Not sure about the auto reset though.
Thanks
Update 11/19/2023:
The most recent update allows you to add to counter directly from the widget! It’s an excellent update!
For copy/paste of counters, I mean you can copy a counter and paste it on the dashboard with all the same attributes of the original. Basically cloning a counter so that you don’t have to manually update the settings. This is just a wish list item. I do really utilize the app. Thanks again!

Thanks for your review! I will add the ability to reorder counters in a future update. Could you specify what you mean by copy/pasting? Do you want to paste them inside the app or in other apps like Notes etc.?
Free and flawless! But...

Hey Pomanti! Thanks for your kind review. That reordering feature is actually on my bucket list. It may take some time for me to implement it though. Stay tuned!
Perfect

Hey Happy-chwan! Thanks so much for your review! It really made my day. A reordering feature is already on my bucket list. It may take some time for me to implement it though. Stay tuned! Tip: If you want to arrange multiple counters in a specific way, you can add a widget for each of them on your home screen and move them around as you like. I know, it's not the same and a little cumbersome, but still a viable workaround until that feature is available.
Thanks

Just right!
Simple and easy to use app

Thanks for your feedback! Great news for you: Widgets are interactive now! Just released an app update. That’s what I had in mind right from the start, but it simply wasn’t possible before iOS 17. It just took me some time to build it once Apple had released the system update. (I’m afraid that time-based resets are not part of the core concept and won’t come any time soon. I am working on a Shortcuts integration though with which you could accomplish that goal.)
This App is Awasome 👍👍👍
Good luck finding a better app than this
