CountMeSilly is the only counting/tally app you will ever need! CountMeSilly has a beautifully simplistic interface that allows you to count anything with ease. Customisations can be made to the counter's name and colour, and you can even have your counters reset back to zero on a daily, weekly, monthly, or custom timeframe that suits you. CountMeSilly is also fully accessible using VoiceOver. CountMeSilly can be used to keep count/tally of anything you'd like, including: - Tracking the amount you've drunk that day. - Counting how many people are entering or leaving. - Logging your step count to compare daily trends. - Keeping score in board game matches. And much more, the possibilities are endless! The free version of CountMeSilly allows you to create 2 counters with limited customisation. CountMeSilly Premium (one-time purchase) unlocks the following features: - Full customisation including choosing when your counter auto-resets. - The ability to sync and back up all your data to iCloud which allows syncing between devices. - Export your counters in JSON format for easy backup on your own device or to restore your counters quickly and easily. - Support of a small Indie app developer like myself.

Blocks that actually hold. No "Ignore Limit." No "15 more minutes." You open Instagram "for a second" and half the evening is gone. With Apple's Screen Time, one tap skips the limit. With Mobile Less, when an app is blocked, it doesn't open. Period. Try everything free for 14 days. No card, no automatic charges. "The only app that really blocks apps. You can't snooze it or change it." — App Store review (translated from Spanish) HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that steal your day. 2. Decide how and when they're limited. 3. When it's time, they don't open. No negotiating. CHOOSE HOW TO LIMIT EACH APP — Instant block — Lock an app right now for as long as you choose. There's no way to undo it early — that's the point. — Scheduled blocks — Group apps into profiles (Work, Study, Night…) and schedule them by time and day. They switch on by themselves. — Daily time limit — 30 minutes of TikTok a day, not one more. When it's up, it's blocked until tomorrow. — Intervals — Use it for 15 minutes, then it locks for 30. On repeat, all day. Great for studying without going fully offline. — Pause before opening — A 5 to 60 second wait before the app opens. Usually that's all it takes to change your mind. — Time reminder — A nudge every so often while you're inside an app. It doesn't block — it just keeps scrolling from quietly eating your evening. INSTAGRAM AND YOUTUBE, WITHOUT THE ADDICTIVE PART Open them in distraction-free mode inside Mobile Less: no Reels, no Shorts, no Explore, no endless feed. Messages and search still work. A MINIMALIST HOME SCREEN A widget with your essential apps as a plain text list. No colorful icons, no red badges calling you. WHO IT'S FOR • Students who need three hours in a row without their phone. • People who work from their phone and can't just delete Instagram. • Anyone who has tried other blockers and skipped them in two taps. Made by an independent developer, built on Apple's Screen Time. Available in 12 languages. Less screen. More life. After the trial, keep using the basic version for free, or unlock everything with a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
