Counter is the simplest way to count anything: reps, laps, cups of coffee, pages, people at the door, stitches, prayers or points in a game. Tap anywhere on the screen to add one. That's it. BIG, TAPPABLE, GLANCEABLE The whole card is a button, so you can count without looking. Numbers are huge and roll smoothly with every change, and strong haptics confirm each tap. GOALS THAT FILL UP Set a target and the counter fills up like a glass of water as you get closer. When you reach it, the card lights up with a short glow and a success haptic. STEP SIZES Make one tap add 1, 2, 5, 10 or 100, perfect for counting sets, scores or larger quantities. EDIT ANY COUNTER Long-press a counter to set its value, step and goal, or to reset it.
