Count every workout round without breaking your focus. Tap Counter brings simple round counting to iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Tap the counting surface to add a round, or use the dedicated plus and minus buttons. Larger iPhone controls and an adaptive iPad counter keep the count easy to read and the controls easy to reach. Set a goal from 1 to 9,999 rounds and get haptic feedback when you reach it. On iPhone and iPad, tap the goal value to type a number directly or adjust it with the plus and minus controls. Add a countdown from one second to 59 minutes and 59 seconds. It starts with your first round and shows a clear “Time’s up” message when it expires. Optional local notifications can alert you when the app is closed. Keep counting after expiry, or reset to start a new session with your saved preferences. Count from your wrist with the native Apple Watch app. Set your goal, choose a countdown, and change your colors entirely on Watch. It works independently of the iPhone companion and keeps its own count and settings. Sessions do not sync between devices. Choose from 26 background colors and System, Light, or Dark appearance. Tap Counter includes VoiceOver labels and respects Reduce Motion. Your current session and preferences stay saved on each device. There are no accounts, ads, analytics, or third-party tracking.
