KeepCountHabit tally boards and widgets are free within the board allowance. KeepCount does not automatically build streaks, reminders, or calendar reports.

How to do it
Choose a countable action
Use specific labels such as Reading sessions or Walks completed. Set Count Up, starting value 0, and step 1 for one tap per completed action.
Choose a time window
Name the board Today if you plan to reset it daily, or Total if you want to keep accumulating.
Put the tally where you use it
Keep the board in the app, add its Home Screen widget, or make a Shortcut for a named counter. Test one increment.
Close the time window
Record any daily result you need before resetting. Reset manually, or build and test a deliberate Reset Counter Shortcut.
Example: a reading tally
- Reading sessions: start 0, step 1.
- Tap after each session you have defined for yourself.
- Three taps mean three recorded sessions, not an automatically measured duration or streak.
Illustrative setup; use your own labels and starting values.
A small board you can keep using
Begin with one or two actions rather than a dozen counters. A large tile and a short label make a check-in easy. Add more only when you have a clear reason to record them.
An Enter Number counter can replace a daily total you counted elsewhere. A Count Down counter can represent tasks remaining from a chosen baseline.
Daily totals need a daily boundary
KeepCount does not reset a habit at midnight on its own. If you configure a Shortcuts automation, verify its target and schedule, and make sure it will not erase a total before you record it.
Pro history records counter changes but does not create a habit calendar, a streak chart, or a progress guarantee. Use another record when those views are part of your routine.
Common questions
Will KeepCount send a habit reminder?
No reminder feature is advertised in the public app. You can use your usual reminder tools alongside a manual tally.
