Read full description

Simple Lockscreen Counter pairs a Lock Screen counter widget with an in-app confirmation flow so your most important numbers only change when you mean it. • Confirm every Lock Screen tap — launches the app, shows a clear alert, and only increments after you press Confirm. • Organize counters by name, optional goal value, and long-press notes to track context or progress details. • Adjust or recover quickly with one-tap increment, decrement, and reset actions, plus haptics for positive feedback. • Customize the widget font between the system default or the included Rajdhani Bold typeface to match your style. • Widgets and app share the same App Group storage, keeping data consistent across edits, resets, and new devices. Simple Lockscreen Counter supports English, Korean, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese, is built for iOS 17.6+, and includes an unobtrusive AdMob banner on every screen.
