CountFlow tracks how often you do something — then learns your real trend and tells you today's target, whether you're cutting down (e.g. vaping) or building up (e.g. glasses of water). • One-tap counting with instant feedback. • A smart daily target that adapts to your real trend — a single off-day won't wreck your plan. • Clear "Under / Met / Exceeded" status each day. • Hourly, weekly and monthly graphs plus a whole-journey view. • Optional reminders. Your data stays on your device; export to CSV anytime.
