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?"

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.
