The iOS Spacebar Counter App (also known as the Counter Clicker App) that you can download from the App Store, was inspired by our popular online Spacebar Counter and molded to perfection with suggestions by our web visitors. Our visitors wanted a standalone application that does not require an Internet connection (unlike the online version), and they wanted to be able to count many things at the same time. We were happy to comply with visitors' requests. This app does not require the Internet after it has been installed on your device, and you can count up to four things at the same time. Its potential uses are endless. For example, use it to keep track of and count sports scores, family card games, board games, accomplishments, knitting progress, crochet tally, and so much more. We hope the Spacebar Counter App will become your go-to app for keeping track of and counting different fun activities in your life.

About

Drift

Read full description

Drift is a visual daily planner built around one vertical timeline. It combines a todo list, schedule planner, calendar alternative, and time blocking app into one quiet view of your day. Drag on the timeline to create a todo for a time range. Long-press a bubble to move or resize it. Swipe a bubble across the timeline to mark it done, or pull it farther away to remove it with undo. Drift is useful for: - Daily planning and time blocking - Todo lists, task management, and personal schedules - Work blocks, study sessions, errands, meetings, reminders, and routines - People who prefer a visual timeline over a traditional calendar - Quickly rearranging a day without filling out forms On supported Apple Intelligence devices, you can also hold the bottom date pill and speak naturally. Drift can help add a time block, rename a todo, reschedule it, mark it done, or remove it. Voice understanding runs on device on supported devices; Drift does not process voice commands or todos on a server. Drift is built for private personal planning. There are no accounts, no analytics, no ads, and no tracking. Your timeline stays on your device, with iCloud sync when available and local storage as fallback.
