Tally Marks counts the way you do on paper: four strokes, a line through, on a notebook page. Tap to add a mark, long press to subtract, swipe to delete. WHY TALLY MARKS Counting in a notes app means typing and retyping numbers. Most counter apps overcomplicate it. Tally Marks is faster and nicer to look at: hand-drawn strokes filling a page, so you see your count grow instead of just reading a number. MADE TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY • One quick tap to count • As many tallies on the page as you need • Ad-free, no tracking, works offline WHAT YOU CAN COUNT Coffees, habit streaks, pull-ups, laps, glasses of water — anything worth keeping score of.

Who won last Friday? Nobody remembers — the paper scoresheet is long gone. Gamekeeper gives your board game group a memory: every match saved, every winner on record, every stat one tap away. — WHAT IT DOES — Pick the game, tap in the scores, save. Ten seconds after the last round, the match is history — literally. — WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT — ▸ 5 scoring modes that cover 99% of games. High score wins, low score wins, win/lose, rounds with sum, rounds with average. From Catan to Pandemic to Codenames. ▸ 70+ games preloaded from day one. Start logging tonight. Add your own game in seconds. ▸ Your group, remembered. Players persist across matches. Marta, Carlos, Lucy — always ready for the rematch. ▸ Game-night calendar. The month at a glance: what you played, which week, and how long since the last Pandemic night. Habit made visible. ▸ Stats that settle arguments. Win rate, streaks, top games per player and per game. No more "I always win at Catan" without proof. ▸ No account. No login. No email. Your data lives on your phone. We don't sync it, we don't store it, we don't sell it. — WHO IT'S FOR — The one who keeps score: the friend with the pencil, the parent logging family game sessions, the group that plays every other weekend and argues about who is really the Catan champion. — FREE VS PLUS — Free: unlimited players and games, every scoring mode, full history, basic stats, calendar. Gamekeeper Plus: no ads, advanced stats (streaks, historical comparisons, group insights) and data export. — WHAT WE DON'T DO — No account. No email collection. No third-party ad trackers. No social feed. No built-in rules — we're not here to referee. We're your scoresheet, with a memory. — LANGUAGES — Spanish (Spain + LATAM), English, German, French, and Portuguese.
