About

Countick

Read full description

Countick is a counter app that lets you start counting with a single tap. When you need to track more than one thing, you never have to switch screens. Each card on the home screen is itself a button—just tap to add to that counter. It shines when you want to count two or more things at the same time, such as made and missed shots, or items in and out of stock. ■ Tap cards to count side by side Counters on the home screen increase when you tap the card directly. With no screen transitions, your eyes and fingers stay on the count. Each card shows the current total and progress toward your goal. ■ Full-screen mode for hands-free counting A mode turns the entire screen into a “+” button. During a game or on the job, wherever your finger lands becomes a count. The screen stays awake in this mode, so counting is never interrupted by sleep. ■ Your counts become a lasting record Every count is saved with a timestamp. On the history screen you can see a 14-day trend graph, and you can export records as CSV to share. Counting is not the end—use the data later for reports and review. ■ Fit the way you count • Choose an increment of 1, 5, 10, or a custom value per tap • Set a goal and get a celebration when you reach it • Name and color each counter, and reorder freely • Undo reverses only the last tap if you miss ■ Great for • Sports: shots, rallies, points, laps • Work and the field: inventory, stocktake, admissions, inspection, vehicles passing • Hobbies and daily life: knitting rows, practice swings, pages read, visits counted ■ Built for peace of mind • No camera, notification, or other permissions required • Your counter data stays on your device—no account needed • Works offline • Nine languages including English; optimized for iPhone and iPad For every moment you cannot afford to lose the count. Try Countick.
