About

Spacebar Counter

Read full description

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.

As time runs short, the screen changes from yellow to red, so you can check your pace at a glance—even from the front of the room. It’s a handy companion for conference talks, lectures, speeches, pitches and rehearsals. It also works well for mock exams, practice questions, reading and 25-minute focus sessions.
