How to Keep a Daily Tally Log and Export It to a Spreadsheet
A plain counter only knows the current number. If you need to know how many you counted each day, for a workout log, inventory, attendance or a habit, you need the time of every tap. That's the second most requested thing in counter app reviews: "I need the date and time of each click in the export, not just the current count."
1. Count as usual
Every + and − in Countlet, in the app, in full screen or on the widget, is saved with the date and time. Typing a value and resetting are saved too, marked as such.
2. See your days, weeks and months
Open History and pick a counter. Switch between 7 days, 8 weeks and 6 months to see totals as bars. Below the chart you'll find each tap listed by day.
3. Fix a day you forgot
Tap + Add to a past day, pick the date and enter the amount (use a minus sign to subtract). It goes into that day's history. Tapped by mistake? Delete that single entry with the trash icon.
4. Export to CSV
Tap the export icon in History. You get one row per change with the group, counter, date and time, change and running total. Open it in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets to make your own charts or share it with a team.
Tips
- Use daily or weekly reset if you want the counter to start over each period. The history keeps every past day.
- Group related counters (for example Sets, Reps, Water) so you can compare them in one file.
FAQ
Does the CSV include the time of each tap?
Yes. Each row has the date and time down to the second, the change and the value after it.
Can I add counts to an earlier date?
Yes. Use Add to a past day in History and pick any date up to today.
Does resetting delete my history?
No. A reset is logged as its own entry and every past tap stays.
