Tap once. See who else just did.
You had coffee. So did a few thousand other people, in the last five
minutes, without knowing each other. This app is a way of noticing that.

You and 1,204

You were the 3rd person on your clock to have coffee today.
One tap, from the Home Screen
A widget with your own buttons on it. You will almost never open the app to
log anything — that is the point. Tap, and the number comes back.
- Forty-six things to choose from, six on screen at a time.
- Want more at hand? Add the widget again and give each one its own buttons.
- Undo sits there for five seconds, on the widget itself.
What it is not
- No accounts. No email, no password, no profile. There is nobody to be.
- No feed and no friends. You never see a person, only a count.
- No streaks and no guilt. Missing a day costs you nothing.
- No notifications asking you to come back at 9pm.
The number has to be true
A count is the only thing this app offers, so it is the one thing treated
as unable to be a lie.
- A figure appears only once twenty people are in it. Below that you
get a sentence instead.
- Counts are rounded. "1,204" is not a person you could find.
- When a count jumps far beyond the shape of its own recent days, the app shows
no number at all. Silence beats a lie.
Only what and when, never who
Six small fields leave your phone when a tap is counted, and none of them
is you. Your history stays on your device and in your own iCloud, never on our
server.
- No account, so there is nothing to profile.
- Coordinates never leave the phone — at most a city name your phone worked out.
- Medication, mood and the other sensitive ones are never counted unless you say so.
