Keeping track of a running count is something everyone does more often than they think, but it’s not always convenient to keep an accurate count in your head. Holding something in your hand to track the count can be undesirable, too.

Pat Counter is the hands-free, discreet counting application for the iPhone™ or iPod® touch. Once started, put it in your pocket and simply pat your hand against it to move the counter. Your phone will vibrate* to let you know the count changed.

Uses include tracking the number of people who walked through the door at an event, taking inventory of larger quantities of material or knowing how many times someone slipped into managementese in a meeting.

Now available on the App Store, as a free, ad-supported download.

Support is available through email: support (at) lightyearsoftware.com.

* Devices that can’t vibrate, such as the iPod touch, will play a sound through the internal speaker.
