With N-Counter, you can create multiple counters and organize them into counter sets. To get started, create a counter set for a specific purpose, then add counters to the set. You can customize the title and color of each button, and choose whether to include a decrement button. Counter settings and values are stored permanently in a database on your device until you reset or delete the counter. You also have the option to configure a counter to record an event with each click, including the time of the event or both the time and geographic location. For counters with events, you can display a chronological list of events or a map showing event locations. N-Counter is free to use for 14 days, after which you will be prompted to purchase a one-time license. Some features may be limited during the free trial.
