Home Screen Widgets
See your counters at a glance. CountTogether's home screen widgets display your most important counters directly on your phone's home screen – no need to open the app.
With home screen widgets, your counters are always just a glance away. Whether it's a countdown to a special event, a daily habit tracker, or a shared team counter – widgets keep the numbers you care about front and center, updated in real-time.
Real-World Examples
Countdown Widget
Display a countdown to your next big event – vacation, wedding, product launch – right on your home screen with live updates.
Streak Tracker Widget
Keep your habit streak visible and motivating. See how many days you've maintained your streak without opening the app.
Key Advantages
Your most important counters are always visible on your home screen – no app launch needed.
Tap any widget to jump straight into the counter in the app – the fastest way to check details.
Widgets update in real-time, reflecting the latest counter values from shared counters and countdowns.
Choose which counters to display and select from different widget sizes to fit your home screen layout.
Why This Feature Stands Out
While many counter apps are limited to in-app experiences, CountTogether brings your data to your home screen with native widgets. You can see your counters without ever launching the app – something most competitors simply don't offer.
How It Works
Getting started with CountTogether takes less than a minute. Follow these four simple steps to create your first shared counter and start collaborating in real-time.
Pick a Display Name
No account creation, no email verification, no password needed. Simply choose a display name and you are ready to go. CountTogether lets you start counting in seconds without any sign-up process.
Create a Shared Counter
Choose from three flexible counter types: an up/down counter for tracking quantities, a "Days Since" counter for milestones and streaks, or a countdown timer for upcoming events. Give your counter a name and you are all set.
Share the Invite Link
Invite friends, colleagues, or team members to join your counter. Share a direct invite link or let others scan a QR code – they can join instantly with a single tap, no app download or account required.
Stay in Sync in Real-Time
Every update is synchronized instantly across all devices. Whether someone increments the counter, resets a streak, or adjusts a value – all participants see the change immediately. No manual refresh, no delays.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add a CountTogether widget to my home screen?
On iOS, long-press your home screen, tap the '+' button, search for CountTogether, and choose your preferred widget size. On Android, long-press your home screen, select 'Widgets', find CountTogether, and drag it to your desired position.
Do widgets update in real-time?
Yes, widgets update automatically to reflect the latest counter values. For shared counters, changes made by other users are also reflected in the widget. Countdown widgets update continuously to show the remaining time.
What happens when I tap a widget?
Tapping a widget opens the corresponding counter in the CountTogether app, where you can view details and make changes. The widgets themselves are view-only and display your counter values at a glance.
