Reset a counter and undo an accidental tap

How to do it

1. Correct one recent tap

   On the same board, tap Undo in the toolbar. Check the displayed value. Use Redo if you want to reapply that action.

2. Reset just one counter

   Hold the counter until its actions appear. Slide toward Reset and release. Lift in the center to cancel the hold menu.

3. Reset the whole board

   Tap the board title to open Edit Board, then choose Reset All Counters. Every counter returns to its own starting value, which may not be zero.

A reset example

A stock counter with a starting value of 40 and a current count of 17 returns to 40 on Reset. A neighboring Completed counter with a starting value of 0 returns to 0. Reset All Counters applies those baselines independently.

Before resetting a session, write down any final total you need to retain. If you want separate session boards, duplicate the layout instead of erasing a tally you still need.

Why undo may be unavailable

Undo belongs to the board and to the app’s current undo state. New changes can clear redo. Writes from a widget or Shortcut can invalidate older in-app undo actions so that undo does not overwrite the newer external count.

Rapid in-app taps may be grouped into one undo action. Verify how far the count moved after pressing Undo, and use exact number entry if you know the correct total. Do not assume one Undo always means minus one.

History explains; it does not undo

Pro activity history can help you inspect what changed. It is not a button to restore the board to a selected past moment. Undo and exact number entry handle corrections; history helps you review them.

Avoid deleting and reinstalling KeepCount as a recovery step. Boards and counts are stored locally, so removing the app risks the data you are trying to fix.
