Tap anywhere to count. Reps at the gym, people through a door, laps in the pool, prayer beads on a commute: CountUp is a tally counter built like an instrument, on your iPhone, your Home Screen, your Lock Screen and your Apple Watch. NEW IN 2.0 A complete redesign in graphite and brass, with big keys you can feel, a tally gauge that fills toward your goal, and a choice of app icons. COUNTERS THAT RESET THEMSELVES Make a counter smart and it starts fresh every day, week or month on its own, keeps the old totals in your history, reminds you at the time you pick, and builds a streak. Your first smart counter is included; CountUp Pro makes every counter smart. LIVE ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN With CountUp Pro, start counting and a Live Activity keeps the count on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with plus and minus right there. FOCUS MODE Full screen, eyes free. Tap anywhere to count, with your count at the center. The ring follows your counter goal, or stays neutral when no goal is set. Hold to exit so a stray tap never ends the session. Made for workouts, headcounts, habits, prayer and whatever you count. A WHOLE WORKOUT ON ONE BOARD Open a group as a Board: one big tile per counter, so Push-ups, Squats and Pull-ups are each one tap away. LOCK A COUNTER Lock a counter and pocket taps stop, on the phone, the widgets and the Watch. Hold to unlock. INSIGHTS Choose a counter with group filters and search, then see your week, month and last 12 weeks, your best day and how often you met your goal. START FROM A TEMPLATE Workout, Prayer, Habit, Inventory, Classroom and more. Each fills in the name, color, goal and reset, so you are counting in one tap. COUNT FROM YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app is included for everyone. It counts offline and syncs back to your iPhone in seconds. A COUNTER ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Add the small CountUp widget and tap plus without opening the app. CountUp Pro adds the medium and large sizes, the Lock Screen, a widget for a whole group, and a CountUp control in Control Center. COUNTER GROUPS Keep related tallies together with an emoji you recognize at a glance. Each group shows its combined total for today. ACCESSIBILITY FIRST VoiceOver announces every count.
