Event Tally

A combination of a tally counter with a clock, so you can count the frequency of occurrences of events.

Why This Even Exists

This started as a project to help me figure out how frequently the horrible human beings around me coughed their virus-laden phlegm into the air while holding their masks down from their faces. Tally counters exist, but they don’t record when they got clicked, so five clicks in a row followed by twenty minutes of nothing results in the same count as twenty minutes of one click every four minutes. This app lets me click the “something happened” button and then, later, define a window of time, and then draw insights like, “Oh, all the coughing and sneezing clustered at fifteen minutes into the meeting,” or, “The speaker said ‘um’ every 20 seconds.”

The events are logged in the user’s private iCloud database. The iOS and watchOS apps only record events, while the macOS application does analysis, since that’s the sort of thing screen real estate is good for.

Data Collected

If I collect data, then I have to store it, I have to secure it, I have to tell you about it, and I have to be prepared to delete it. That’s way too much work. Rather than do that, I don’t collect anything, and my life is better for it.

Support

I am not even sure what kind of support you might need for this app, but if you somehow do want to get in touch, everything you need is right here
