Multi Counter is the simplest way to tally several things at the same time. Tap to add, tap to subtract, and every press is timestamped — so you don't only know how many, you know when. Built for shopkeepers counting visitors at two doorways, knitters tracking rows and stitches, coaches counting laps, worshippers reciting prayers and zikr, students taking attendance, researchers logging behaviors, and anyone who has ever worn out their thumb on a mechanical clicker. KEY FEATURES • Multi-card layout — count two or more things at once, each card independent • Drag-and-arrange cards to mirror real-world positions (e.g. "left shop" vs "right shop") • Counting sessions — end a round to start fresh; old rounds stay in History forever • Live timeline statistics — bar chart by 1-min / 5-min / 1-hour buckets, switch between bucket-delta and cumulative views • Custom starting value per card, plus quick +1, −1, +5, −5 actions • Per-card custom sound effects, background image, and stereo panning • CSV export (UTF-8 with BOM, opens cleanly in Excel) — share via any app PRIVATE BY DESIGN All data stays on your device. No account, no tracking, no ads, works fully offline. PRO The free version supports up to 2 counter cards. Pro unlocks unlimited cards. One-time purchase, not a subscription. Available in 20+ languages including English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Español, Português, Français, Deutsch, Italiano, Türkçe, Bahasa Indonesia, Tiếng Việt, ภาษาไทย, हिन्दी, বাংলা, العربية, فارسی, اردو and Русский.

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. The whole screen counts, a ring of 33 beads fills as you go, and a stronger tap marks every round. Hold to exit, so a stray tap never ends the session. Made for dhikr, rosary and long sets. 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 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.
