A tiny Flutter utility for tallying how often each quote or catchphrase comes up — each word or phrase gets its own counter, stored on-device.

Idea

I kept hearing the same quotes and catchphrases over and over — from friends, from shows, from inside jokes — and I wanted a dead-simple way to keep score. No accounts, no sync, no cloud. Just a list of words or short phrases, each with a number next to it that I could bump up or down whenever someone said it again. That was the whole product: associate a string with a count, tap to increase or decrease, and never lose the tally between opens.

Implementation

Built as a small Flutter app with a single job: manage a list of quote entries and their counts. Each entry is just a string label (the quote / word / phrase) plus an integer. You can add new ones, then increase or decrease the number with a tap. Everything lives in local storage on the device — no backend, no auth, no networking. Open the app, see your list, update a count, close it; the numbers are still there next time. The UI stays minimal on purpose: a readable list of phrases, clear +/- controls, and enough structure to add or remove entries without turning it into a full note-taking app. Scope was intentionally tiny — a focused utility rather than another bloated personal project. It was a good exercise in shipping something useful and finished: local persistence, a clean list UI, and resisting the urge to add features the problem did not need. I later removed it from the Play Store once I was full-time at Class and no longer maintaining personal store listings.
