Read full descriptionHide full description
Ripple Counter is a simple counter app that counts wherever you tap on the screen. The big, full-screen number is easy to read from a distance, and every tap gives you haptic and sound feedback, so you can keep count without looking at the screen. Each tap also sends a water-like ripple across the screen from the spot you touched. FEATURES - Tap anywhere on the screen to count - Ripples that spread from your tap and make the whole screen wave like water (adjustable speed and depth) - Haptic feedback and sound let you know each tap was counted - The number changes color with every tap - Flip style that shows the digits on flip-clock cards - Step back by one, reset, and share your count - Give your counter a title - Choose from 4 font weights and 9 background colors - Dark Mode support (you can also keep the light colors) - Keep the screen from auto-locking while you count - Your count and settings are saved automatically No ads. No data is collected.

ClocksOn turns any spare iPhone or iPad into a calm, glanceable bedside clock. Full-screen, chrome-free clock face that automatically sizes itself to fill your display — readable from across the room, day or night. ADAPTIVE BRIGHTNESS The screen reads the light in your room and eases itself down as the room darkens, so it's never blinding at 2am and never washed out at noon. Prefer full control? Switch to manual brightness any time. LIGHT, DARK, OR SYSTEM THEME Pick a theme or let ClocksOn follow your device's setting. Your choice is remembered across launches. ORIENTATION LOCK Lock the clock to portrait or landscape, or let it follow the device automatically — useful when mounting an iPhone or iPad on a nightstand or wall dock. NO CLUTTER No accounts, no ads, no notifications competing for attention. Just the time, presented cleanly. Works beautifully on iPhone and iPad — set a spare device on your nightstand, dock, or desk and leave the clock on overnight.
