Introducing Counter - A Glyph Toy

Daniel · 2025-07-09T08:57:18+00:00

With the release of Phone (3) with the new Glyph Matrix System, I am introducing ***Counter - A Glyph Toy***, an app inspired by physical clicker counters. It turns the Nothing Phone (3) into a clicker counter using the Glyph Matrix.

Long-press the Glyph Button to count up, or shake your device to reset. https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-07-08/1751989600-49522-1.mov The app was developed using the [Glyph Matrix Developer Kit](https://nothing.community/d/35633-glyph-matrix-developer-kit), which is well put together, intuitive, clearly explained, and includes good examples. ~~Available now on Google Play in closed testing, with a public release coming soon.

Hello, a small update,
I’ve decided not to release Counter - A Glyph Toy as a public Google Play release, but instead to make it available as a public APK. I’ve updated the original post with a link to the GitHub repository where the APK release is hosted. I’ve also included VirusTotal and Koodous scans as per our community writing guidelines.

Please note that the closed testing on Google Play will soon be discontinued.

If you have any feedback or feature suggestions, please post them in this thread or open an issue on the GitHub repository.

Out of interest, why did you decide not to release?

Daniel

Smii I find the Google Play Store policies far too strict, to the point where it’s not worth the struggle to release on there. I tried.

Daniel

New Release – A quick update born from a shower thought 😅

Added sound effects

Now available for download on GitHub.

Daniel excellent. I use this toy the most when counting students entering a classroom. 450 most so far

Such a cool idea and a very convenient tool. There are hardly any good counter apps out there, but well won’t need them now since the glyph matrix will be easier. Especially during Ramadan. Thanks for such a tool @Daniel

Vast

Daniel Sound effects elevate the whole experience, looks amazing bro!

Daniel

Vast that is awesome to hear!! I was actually worried that people will be annoyed by the constant sound effects LOL

CMF1_hacker

Daniel it reminds me of those actual clickers that I used to use in the research lab to count CFUs in my PhD days (25 years ago!)

Vast

Daniel Hahaha no way! I think it’s a good indicator for when a count has been registered meaning you don’t have to stare at the Glyph Matrix as much when counting something.

Daniel

Happy to share that Counter - A Glyph Toy is now available on playground 🙂
