AppTaps

How many times a day do you really open that one app? AppTaps is a tap counter widget that puts the answer where you can't ignore it — right on your home screen. Each AppTaps widget looks like an ordinary shortcut to an app you choose, but it wears a running tap counter. Every time you open the app, today's count ticks up and the app launches as normal. No usage dashboard to dig up, no screen-time reports to read — just gentle visibility at the exact moment you reach for the app. It's a simple, private way to track app usage and build better phone habits. HOW IT WORKS * Add an AppTaps widget to your home screen. * Pick which app it should stand in for. * The widget shows that app's real icon with a "Today" tap count on it. * Tap it: the count ticks up and your app opens. WHAT IT TRACKS * Today's taps and your all-time total, per widget. * Each day is recorded separately, so your usage history builds up over time. * Add as many widgets as you like, one per app, each counted on its own. BUILT WITH YOUR PRIVACY IN MIND * No account, no sign-up, no ads. * No analytics and no tracking of any kind. * No internet access at all — everything stays on your device. * Uses your apps' real icons from the system; nothing is faked or redrawn. * Available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, and Japanese, with a language switch built right into the app. AppTaps is intentionally simple. It counts taps — it does not block apps, enforce limits, or measure time spent in them. It's a nudge for mindful phone use, not a nanny: awareness first, and what you do with it is up to you. If it helps you cut back, a short note is always welcome!
