About this app

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!
