Count anything. Keep score of anything. Hashmarks shows your total as tally marks - just like a pencil, but better. Leave the counting to us. COUNTING Tap to add one or five, or subtract one for those times when things aren't quite going your way. Counting into the thousands? Type the number in directly instead of tapping your way to it. People through a door. Trick-or-treaters. Reps, laps, inventory, birds at the feeder. Anything you would otherwise keep on the back of an envelope. Counts run to 100,000, and below zero when you need them to. KEEPING SCORE Add up to ten players and give them names. The scoreboard reorders as you play, so everyone can see where they stand at a glance. Playing something where low wins? Switch the scoreboard to rank low to high and golf scores the right way up. LOOKING BACK Every game you count is saved with the date you played it. Give it a title and add notes, so the count you took last Halloween is still there the next one. ALSO Works offline. No account and no ads. Light and dark themes. Runs on iPhone and iPad.

DigitalCounter's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
