About this tool

Tap Counter is a phone-friendly tally counter for people, inventory, laps, exercise repetitions, and similar counting tasks. Create up to 12 named counters and track several categories at the same time.

When focusing on one item, Focus mode turns most of the screen into a large +1 tap target. Mistakes can be undone, and a lock prevents accidental changes when needed.

Can I undo an accidental tap?
