00, once. No account, no server.
A counter that counts. That is the entire application.
Birds on a fence, reps on a bar, crates in a van, rows of a jumper, cars through a junction. Tallyho counts them with one enormous button, remembers them on the phone itself, and asks you for nothing else. Buy it once. There is no sign-up, because there is nowhere to sign up to.

What it does
Four things, and then it gets out of the way
Every screen was designed for somebody standing up, in the cold, wearing one glove.
01
One button the size of a thumb
Tap anywhere in the lower half of the screen and the number goes up. Tap the small minus when you counted the same pigeon twice.
02
As many tallies as you like, side by side
Count four species at once, or sets and reps, or pallets by size. Swipe between them; the totals hold while you do.
03
It counts with the screen off
The volume buttons work as the counter, so the phone can stay in a pocket while you watch the thing you are counting.
04
Every session is kept, with its date
Yesterday's count is still there this morning. Export the lot as a plain CSV file whenever you want it somewhere else.
People who count things
Sent in by email, because there is nowhere in the app to leave a review
I count waders on a mudflat with no signal for six hours. Every other app I tried wanted to log me in first. This one just counts.
IdaCounts birds, county bird groupStock take used to be a clipboard and an argument. Now it is three tallies and a CSV file I email to myself.
TeoRuns a two-van delivery businessBought it in 2021 for the price of a coffee and it has never once asked me for anything since. I keep waiting for the catch.

Counting is not a subscription
One payment of 00 and the application is yours, on every phone you ever own, whether or not this website still exists.
