Simple counting of items and events. Measuring the intervals between events. Categorizing the events and items. This is the main purpose of this application. The counting session begins with the selection of your desired input method. Accordingly to your upcoming task you can choose between different touch and sweep gestures. Depending on this selection you can operate the application with several fingers or even blindly with just a single thumb. The application allows you to distinguish between three different kinds of counted items and events. These are indicated with the colors red, green and blue. If you make a mistake during the counting session, simply use the Undo/Redo buttons in the upper-right corner to drop the last input. You can interrupt the counting at any time and see an overview of how many items or events have been counted in the meantime. An additional details view provides you the exact history of all recorded items and events together with their corresponding timestamps.
