About

FlickTrack

Features
Read full description

FlickTrack Mala Counter is a simple, motion-based counter designed for meditation, mantra practice, breathwork, prayer, habit tracking, and other repetitive practices where you want to keep count without constantly touching the screen. Instead of tapping a button every time, FlickTrack lets you count with a small downward flick of your phone. Begin a session, choose your preferred screen and text appearance, set your flick sensitivity, and let the app keep track while you focus on your practice. FlickTrack is especially useful for users who want a quiet, minimal counter experience during longer sessions. The screen can stay awake while the app is in use, and session history is saved so you can review previous counts over time. You can adjust screen brightness inside the app and choose whether FlickTrack keeps the screen awake during use or allows your iPhone to auto-lock normally. If an accidental flick is counted or a flick is missed, built-in count correction tools let you manually adjust the number. To add the FlickTrack widget to your Lock Screen, run the app once, then press and hold your iPhone Lock Screen, tap Customize, choose Lock Screen, tap the widget area below the clock, and select FlickTrack. Choose the rectangular widget to show the current count with plus and minus correction buttons.
