Tally Marks Counter App

A simple counting app that mimics the tactile feel of hand-drawn tally marks instead of editing numbers repeatedly. Solves the friction of traditional phone note counting for quick tallies during activities like sports, crowd counting, or inventory tracking.

The app store long-tail for hyper-simple utility apps remains real — low-complexity tools with a distinct UI hook still surface organically through search and get featured in "hidden gems" roundups, which is about the only viable distribution here. The closest substitutes are generic tally counter apps like Tally Counter by Berriz Design, which already occupy this exact niche with thousands of ratings. At $200–500/month, the revenue ceiling assumes either a paid one-time download or a small subscription, both of which are brutally hard to sustain when free competitors exist and switching cost is zero. The core risk is that this is already a solved problem with entrenched free apps, leaving no defensible angle unless the tally-mark aesthetic alone drives enough word-of-mouth, which is a thin bet.
