Day count: the days since, and a slip does not wipe them
Days without a drink, a bet, a cigarette, or hurting yourself. Days since you left, or since the surgery. Say what you are counting and the first day, and the page shows the number, every day, without you doing the sums. If you slip, a new run starts and the days before it stay on the record, because they happened.
Good to know
How the count works
- The number is the whole days from the first day to today, by the date on this device. On the first day itself the page says “Day one”; the next day it says 1 day.
- From a week on, the page also says the same span in weeks, and from 31 days in months and years.
- The next round number is the next of 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 and 270 days, and after that each year from the first day. They are only round numbers the page picks. They are not the milestones of any program.
- If you start a new run, the run that was going is kept as it stood, and the new one starts the day after the day you give. “Days in all” adds every run together. “Longest run” is the longest of them.
- Pressed it by mistake? “Undo that” puts the run back, until you leave or reload the page.
What this page can’t do
- It is not treatment and not a program. It counts days, and that is all it does. It does not know whether stopping all at once is safe for you.
- It only knows what you type. Nobody checks it, and it proves nothing to a court, an employer or anyone else.
- It cannot remind you or send you anything. You see the number when you open the page.
- It does not move to another phone or computer by itself. Print it, download it, or use My data on this device to carry a backup across.
A number is only a number
Some people find a count steadying. For others, watching it makes things harder, or a slip feels heavier because of it. Both are ordinary. If the count is not helping you, you can delete it or erase the page, and nothing is lost but a number.
The page keeps earlier runs for one reason: the days in them were real days, and a slip on a later day does not change what you did on those.
These are our own words, not medical advice.

The tool and its wording were written with AI (Claude) for Scarlet Beast (our AI policy). It was not reviewed by a doctor or any clinician. Also in Spanish: Contador de días; both pages keep the same counts on this device. The page holds up to 30 counts and keeps them until you delete them. Found a mistake? Email [email protected].
