Contito help
Contito counts the things you repeat: prayer beads and dhikr, japa rounds, knitting and crochet rows, pool laps, stock on a shelf. These answers cover the Android app and the iPhone app (with its Apple Watch companion).
Counting in rounds (33, 99, 108)
Open a counter, choose Edit and set a cycle length. Contito then shows the round and your place in it (“Round 2 · 4 of 33”) and gives a long vibration each time a round completes. A target works the same way for a single goal, such as 40 laps: the ring fills as you go, and the phone buzzes when you reach it.
Counting without looking
- Tap anywhere: in the full-screen counter, the whole screen above the bottom bar adds one step.
- Volume buttons (Android): turn on “Count with volume keys” in a counter's Edit screen (or as the default for new counters in Settings). Volume up adds and volume down subtracts, only while the counter is open.
- Widgets: add a Contito widget to your home screen. The small widget counts when tapped, and the wide one has − and + buttons. Long-press it to choose which counter it shows.
- Apple Watch (iPhone app 1.1): the watch app shows your counters and counts with a tap. Counts sync with the iPhone.
Groups, history and reports
Put counters into groups (for example “Morning practice”) from the counter's Edit screen. History shows daily totals and 7- and 30-day charts for one counter or all of them. You can export a CSV file or a PDF report, or print it.
Reminders
Each counter can remind you at a time you choose, every day or on the weekdays you pick. Contito asks for permission to send notifications only when you turn a reminder on. If you said no, the reminder stays off and Contito tells you how to allow it in your phone's settings.
Moving to a new phone
Your counters live only on your phone. On Android they are part of your Google backup, which is end-to-end encrypted. On iPhone they are part of your iCloud device backup. To move them by hand, use Settings → Back up to a file on the old phone and Restore from a file on the new one. A restore replaces what is on the new phone, and Contito asks before it does.
Language
Contito speaks English, Español, Português (Brasil), हिन्दी and Русский. It follows your phone's language unless you pick one under Settings → Language.
Privacy in one line
Contito has no account and collects no data. The only thing it ever sends is a check for a newer version on Google Play or the App Store. Full details are in the privacy policy.
