About

MyTapCount

Features
Read full description

MyTapCount records how many times you did something today. You just tap the + on a Home Screen widget. Drank a glass of water. Took your pills. Finished a set of push-ups. Anything you count several times a day, logged without opening the app. Unlock, tap, done. FEATURES Count straight from the Home Screen Tapping + on the widget increases the count in place. The app never launches, and the number updates right there. What used to be three steps — open the app, find the item, press the button — becomes two: unlock and tap. Two widget sizes The small widget shows one item with a large number and a large + button. The medium widget lists three to four items so you can log several things at once. Touch and hold the widget to choose which item it shows. Goals and progress Give an item a daily goal and it shows as "3 / 8" so you can see what is left. Goals are optional, so items you only want to count can go without one. You can also set how much a single tap adds. Review your history, fix your mistakes Tap an item to see a weekly chart and a list of every entry. Accidentally tapped the widget? Swipe an entry to delete it. The day rolls over on its own Today's count starts again from zero when the date changes. There is nothing to reset. Icons and colors Each item gets an icon and a color, so you can tell them apart at a glance on the Home Screen. The order stays exactly as you arranged it and is never shuffled for you. GOOD FOR - Tracking glasses of water - Remembering whether you took your medication - Adding up push-ups or squats - Keeping an eye on cigarettes or snacks - Counting anything, with as little effort as possible PRIVACY Everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no sign-in, and nothing is sent anywhere. There are no ads and no in-app purchases. REQUIREMENTS iPhone running iOS 17 or later. Counting directly from the widget requires iOS 17. Available in English and Japanese.
