Taply Dev Log #1: Building a Better Counter

Tally counter apps have been around forever, but most of them look like they were designed in 2012. I wanted to build something that feels modern, looks great, and is genuinely satisfying to use.

The Tap Feel

The most important thing in a counter app is how the tap feels. I spent more time than I'd like to admit tweaking the haptic feedback and the animation when you tap. The counter should feel responsive and satisfying — like clicking a really good pen.

Multiple Counters

Most counter apps give you one counter. Maybe two if you're lucky. Taply lets you create as many as you want, each with its own colour and name. Tracking gym reps, water intake, and inventory counts? No problem.

What's Coming

Next up: history and trends. I want you to be able to look back and see how your counts change over time. Simple line charts, nothing fancy — just useful.
