About

Countdown, Gym & Rep Counter

Features
Read full description

Everything you count, in one app. Days until. Reps at the gym. Cups of coffee. Glasses of water. Add a date, and it starts ticking down to the second. Start a workout and log a set in one tap. Tap a counter and the number goes up. Check any of it from your Home Screen without opening the app. COUNTDOWNS Birthdays, exams, weddings, trips, due dates, the last day of term — anything with a date on it. Live to the second, closest first, so you always know what's actually next. - Import straight from your calendar: festivals, holidays and birthdays arrive already linked - Colours, gradients, icons and your own background photos, set per event, so a wedding doesn't look like a dentist appointment - Reminders a day or an hour ahead, not the morning of GYM A real training log, not a notes app with a dumbbell on it. - Full exercise library with video for every movement — barbell, dumbbell, machine, bodyweight - Reps and weight come pre-filled from last time, so logging a set is one tap - Live session timer with running sets, volume and exercise count - Tap the muscle map and get the exercises for whatever you're training today - Filter by chest, back, shoulders, arms or legs and start from a suggestion COUNTERS Tap once, the number goes up. That's the whole thing. - Coffees, cigarettes you didn't have, gym visits, snoozes, sweets, the swear jar - Push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, burpees, laps - Tasbeeh, rosary, mantra, prayers, verses, fasts kept, charity - Or name your own, pick an icon, and start tapping HEALTH Water, medication, sleep and steps. Remind me hourly, a few times a day, or on a schedule you set — and streak rings that show what you actually kept up this week, not what you meant to. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Your next event, one glance away. Choose which events show and how much detail you want. WHY ONE APP Because the date you're waiting for, the sets you did on Tuesday and the coffees you've had today are all the same thing: a number you want to keep an eye on. Four trackers, one place to look, nothing that nags. MADE FOR - Anyone who refuses to forget a birthday again - Students counting down to exams and term dates - Lifters who want a fast log and nothing else - Anyone quitting something, or trying to drink more water - People who'd rather open one app than four Add your first date in under ten seconds.
