Count anything. Quietly. Tap Tally is a refined multi-counter for the things that matter, and the ones that don't. Reps. Coffee. Stitches. Headcount. Birds in the garden. Tap a card to count up. Long-press to count down. Done. Track gym reps and sets. Count knitting rows and stitches. Tally tasbih, dhikr, rosary prayers, and mantras. Count laps on a run. Track pitch counts in baseball. Manage inventory counts at events. Count crowds at the door. What's inside: • Unlimited counters (Tap Tally Pro) • Custom symbols, colors, and step sizes per counter • Daily goals with progress rings on every card • Lock Screen + Home Screen widgets — tap to count without opening the app • A 14-day bar chart and a 12-week heatmap • Streaks, daily averages, and percent-change trends • Four haptic styles — light, medium, heavy, rigid • Local-only data — nothing leaves your device Tap Tally is single-purpose, ad-free, and beautifully boring. We don't track you. We don't have a backend to track you with. There is no account, no signup, no email collection. Your taps are yours. Free includes 3 counters and the daily bar chart. Tap Tally Pro is one quiet $4.99 purchase that unlocks unlimited counters, the heatmap, monthly and yearly stats, and every future feature — Apple Watch, themes, and beyond — at no additional cost. Made for coaches, knitters, lab workers, birdwatchers, bartenders, runners, students, and anyone whose day involves saying "wait, how many was that?"

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chronometer Lite at none against Tap Tally's 1. Chronometer Lite also leads on ratings volume (27 vs 3). Tap Tally's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Tap Tally holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chronometer Lite has 27 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Chronometer Lite ships an update every 4 months, Tap Tally every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
