Hello World Counters is a simple and discreet tally counter app for Android and the Web (PWA), built as one of my first "Hello World" projects in Flutter.
Hello World programs are pretty famous, even if all they do is write "Hello, World!" on the screen. When learning a new programming language or platform, starting with such a simple program has become a tradition.
The app provides several distinct counters, each corresponding to a basic English color term (Red, Green, Blue, etc.). This design allows you to track multiple items simultaneously and discreetly — without anyone needing to know what you're counting.
- Discreet, Color-Coded Counters: Keep track of multiple tallies at once.
- Simple Controls: Easily increment, decrement, and reset each counter.
- Share Functionality: Share your counts via email, messengers, or social media.
Here are some screenshots of the app in action:
- On Android: Get it from GitHub Releases.
- On any platform: Run the web app or install it directly from your browser on most modern operating systems, including Android, ChromeOS, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows.
These steps assume you have Flutter ≥ 3.x installed. See flutter.dev/get-started for setup if needed.

Thank you for contributing! Hello World Counters is designed to be as simple and useless as possible, but you can still help with:
- testing and reporting bugs
- creating a nice icon to replace the current one
A legacy version of the app, named Counters With Color Names, is in the counters_with_color_names branch.
The actively maintained Hello World Counters app is in the main branch.
