AI Chatbot Setup — Configure Counters & Timers From a Prompt

• Ask Talia (our chatbot) for any timer or counter — Type "give me a 5-minute Pomodoro timer that starts right away" or "count down from 1000 at 10 per second" in the chat widget — Talia mints you a working deep link. The link opens the tool with every setting already applied (duration, color, label, alarm sound, autostart, loop) and starts the timer/counter immediately.
• Countdown Timer now URL-configurable — /timers/countdown accepts ?hours=H&minutes=M&seconds=S&label=Name&color=red|orange|yellow|green|cyan|blue|purple|pink&alarm=chime|buzzer|bell|arpeggio&autostart=0|1&loop=0|1. The new timer is added to your saved grid (it does not wipe existing timers), then the URL scrubs itself so a refresh does not duplicate it.
• Plus the existing URL-configurable surface — Auto Counter (count up/down at any rate), People Counter (venue + capacity + group labels), Tasbih Counter (custom target), and Trivia setup at trivia1.com all accept query-string config from the same chatbot tool layer.
• ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can do this too — no API needed — The tool pages read their own URL on load, so any AI assistant that knows the schema can produce a working deep link by formatting a query string. No auth, no rate limit, no API call required. Our own bot uses MCP for convenience, but the schemas are public — any LLM can recommend pre-configured Digital Tally Counter links.
• New guide: How AI assistants pre-configure counters via URL params — A full schema reference, worked examples translating natural-language prompts to URLs, edge cases, and the why-this-works-without-an-API explainer. Read the guide →

v4.14.0 May 25, 2026

Baseball Scorekeeper — Traditional Scorecard, Lineups & Live Spectator View

• Familiar baseball scorecard, in the app — Diamond SVG cells for every at-bat, runs/hits/RBI columns per batter, inning-by-inning line score. Looks like the scorebook your coach taught you on — but the math, advances, and totals fill themselves in.
• Lineup management with batting order & positions — Build both lineups before first pitch — batting order, fielding positions (1–9, DH, EH), pinch hits and double-switches mid-game. The scorecard's batter rows ARE the lineup, in order.
• Per-AB pitch trail — Tap each pitch as it happens — ball, called strike, swinging strike, foul, in play. The current at-bat shows the pitch sequence as a trail; the count auto-updates and walks/strikeouts resolve themselves at 4/3.
• Runner-out events in the inning log — Caught stealing, picked off, runner thrown out trying to advance — all of these log into the inning history with the right player attribution, so the recap reads like a real play-by-play instead of just "out 3, 2, 1".
• Configurable innings for every level — Little League 6, high school 7, college/MLB 9 — or set a custom number. Walk-off, extras, and mercy-rule handling come along for the ride.
• Pro: Kalshi-style live spectator view — Pro users can share a watch-only URL with parents in the stands — gloves on the diamond, batter art at the plate, and the pitch trail updating live as you tap it in. Co-scorer URL also available so the dugout's tablet stays in sync with the scorekeeper's phone.

v4.13.0 May 14, 2026

MTG Life Counter — Active Turn Tracking, Multi-Device Sharing & Game History

• Whose turn is it? Now obvious from across the table. — The active player's panel pulses with a glowing border and a 'YOUR TURN' pill in the corner. A new Turn row at the top of the state tracker counts each round and shows player chips you can tap to pass priority. End your turn with the in-panel End Turn button or just hit spacebar — the counter skips eliminated players automatically.
• Help (?) tooltips on every mechanic — Every counter — poison, energy, experience, rad, tickets, the Ring, commander damage — and every state tracker — Monarch, Initiative, Day/Night, Storm — has a tiny ? button that opens a plain-English explanation of what it represents and when to use it. Newcomers stop guessing; veterans stop having to explain.
• History panel reborn — below the counter, grouped by turn — The history panel now expands below the counter (was a right-side overlay that squished the players grid) and groups every life change, poison tick, and counter update by turn, with the active player stamped on each section header. Live-updates as actions happen — no need to close and reopen.
• Pro: cloud sync that actually saves your games — Every life change, every turn, every counter syncs to the cloud in real time. Switch devices mid-game and your active session loads automatically. Your game history page lists every game you've played, with a per-turn timeline detail view that shows the final board, the winner, and exactly what happened on each turn.
• Pro: share links for two-device or remote play — Hand out named spectator links (read-only, perfect for streamers) or co-scorer links (interactive, perfect for two-device table play or a remote opponent across town). Each action through a co-scorer link is attributed back in the history — 'via Bob's phone' — so the audit trail survives even after the link is rotated or revoked.
• Modern, scrollable landing — pricing finally reachable — Scroll-snap removed (you can actually reach the pricing section now), non-hero sections redesigned with our v2 typography — Fraunces serif headlines, lighter card shadows, generous breathing room. The counter itself is unchanged; everything around it is now a calm, modern read instead of a scrolling fight.

v4.12.0 May 12, 2026

Chalkboard Tally Counter — Draw Tally Marks the Old-School Way

• Swipe to draw your tallies — chalk-on-chalkboard look — Drag your finger (or click + drag) anywhere on the chalkboard to draw a tally stroke. First four swipes draw vertical bars, the fifth seals the "five-bar gate" with a diagonal slash. The slash leans in the direction your finger moved — drag down-right for one diagonal, down-left for the other.
• Completed groups slide into a bundle row — Every fifth stroke seals the group and animates it down into the row of completed bundles below, leaving the chalkboard clean for the next five. Your count and slash directions persist between sessions so reloading picks up right where you left off.
• For kids learning to count — history, subitizing, the works — Below the board, a kid-friendly explainer covers how to read tally marks, why we count by fives (subitizing), and where the four-and-a-slash form came from — the Ishango bone, English five-bar farm gates, modern survivals in labs and ballparks. Plus a numbered usage guide for first-timers.
• Fullscreen for classroom display — One tap on the corner button blows the board up to fill any screen — projector, smartboard, whiteboard replacement. Esc to exit. Mobile-friendly in portrait and landscape too, with the page chrome collapsing on short viewports so the board has room to breathe.
• Pro: share a snapshot of your count — Pro users can generate a read-only share link from any chalkboard at any moment. Send the URL to a parent, a colleague, a student — they see the exact count and bundles you drew. Snapshot links never go stale; mint a fresh one any time.
• Pro: embed the chalkboard on your own site — Generate an iframe snippet and drop the chalkboard onto your blog, your lesson plan, your shop. Each visitor counts in their own browser — no interference between visitors. Manage every embed from your Pro dashboard.

v4.11.0 May 10, 2026

Hockey Scorekeeper — Penalty Box, Assists & Co-Scorer Sharing

• Goals with primary & secondary assists — Tap the score to log a goal through a quick four-step flow: scorer, first assist, second assist (optional), goal type. Roster chips give one-tap player picks; goal type (Even / PP / SH / Empty Net) auto-detects from the on-ice strength.
• Live penalty box with auto-release on PP goals — Per-team penalty strip counts down on the same clock as the period. Score on the power play and the earliest minor in the opposing box releases automatically — exactly like the real rule. Double-minors chain, majors run the full five, coincidentals stay even-strength.
• Shot / faceoff / hit / block with player attribution — Each stat button opens a player picker with roster chips and a free-text fallback so every shot or hit gets attributed to a number. Stats also flow into the event log alongside goals and penalties.
• Stop-time clock that auto-pauses on goals & penalties — Period clock counts down from the configured length (NHL 20, HS 17, Pee Wee 15, Squirt 12, Mini 8) and auto-pauses the moment you log a goal or assess a penalty — just like the ref blowing the whistle. Minor penalty length scales with period length per USA Hockey rule. Buzzer at 0:00 optional.
• Or: turn the clock off entirely — Pickup, drills, scrimmages? Uncheck "Track Period Clock" on the setup form. The scoreboard hides the clock entirely; periods advance with a single tap. Penalties still log and release on PP goals, just without the live timer.
• Pro: invite a co-scorer or share live with the bench — Pro users get two share-link types per match: a watch-only URL for parents in the stands, or a co-scorer URL that lets another coach update the same match from their phone in real time. Rotate or revoke per-link.
• Resume your match where you left off — Step away mid-game and the landing page brings you right back: a banner shows the current score, period, and time-remaining with a Continue button. Match state saves locally so a closed tab doesn't drop the score.

v4.9.0 May 4, 2026

Bird Watching Counter — Photos & 10,930-Species Autocomplete

• Snap photos right from the counter — Tap the camera icon next to any species to take a photo with your device camera. Each species gets its own gallery you can review later in the same session.
• Photos stay on your device — Free tier stores up to 25 photos in your browser (no cloud upload, no account needed). Tap "Save to Photos" on any shot to send it straight to your camera roll for permanent backup.
• Pro: 500 photos, synced across devices — Pro upgrades the gallery to cloud storage with a 500-photo cap, so your sightings follow you from phone to laptop and survive a browser reset.
• 10,930-species autocomplete — Start typing a bird name and the counter suggests matches from the full global checklist. No more typos, no more "was it Western or Eastern Meadowlark?".
• Family-based icons — Each species gets a small visual marker by family (raptors, waterfowl, songbirds, etc.) so your list is scannable at a glance instead of a wall of text.

v4.4.0 May 3, 2026

Tasbih Prayer History — Saved with Pro

• Every dhikr session, saved — Pro users now keep a running history of every tasbih session: date, count reached, and target goal. Look back at last week's adhkar without re-counting.

Per-Counter View-Only Share Links

• One-tap share from any counter — Every counter now has a Share icon in the header (windowed and full-screen). Pro users open it to generate a unique view-only URL for that specific counter.
• Live spectator view, no signup — Send the link to anyone. They open it on any phone or laptop and watch your taps update in real time. No account, no app, no install.
• Rotate & revoke per counter — Each counter has its own link with its own token. Cut access to one counter without touching the others; rotate the token to invalidate old URLs.
• Read-only by design — Spectators can see your counter value update; they can't change it, rename it, or see your other counters.
• Works on every cloud counter type — Tally, tasbih, exercise reps, people, habit, knitting, lap, pitch — if it's saved to your account, you can share it.

v4.1.0 April 25, 2026

Basketball Scorekeeper — Clock Toggles

• Hide the Game Clock — New Game Clock checkbox on the basketball setup form lets you turn the game clock off entirely. Great for pickup games, scrimmages, and drills where you don't need timed periods.
• Hide the Shot Clock — The Shot Clock checkbox already let you hide the 24-second clock; both toggles now work independently. Disable one or both to match your league's rules.
