Countabout is a Mac OS X Dashboard widget that makes keeping track of daily-changing numerical values simple and convenient.

From weight loss, to diaper changes, people are constantly performing activities, or undergoing changes that affect their health, happiness and well-being. Manual tracking of this information has historically been difficult and error-prone. Existing automated tools, like a database application or spreadsheets, are expensive, inconvenient and unwieldy. Countabout is different; it makes keeping track of personal numerical information easy.

Countabout is a Mac OS X Dashboard widget which puts capturing and retrieving information a keystroke away. But unlike most widgets, which focus on gathering information from the web or about the computer, Countabout lets a user keep up with things in their own life that matter to them. Captured data is easily accessible and clearly presented as historical bar charts and common statistics. All data is stored locally, on the user's machine, so private information remains private.

Limitations:
The widget is fully functional for 30 days.
After 30 days the titles are replaced with annoying ones, asking you to register.
After 60 days, the widget stops saving data, so any new data entered will be lost when the computer is restarted.

What's New:
Create daily annotations (with or without data)
Chart improvements
day/week/month boundaries,
show/hide bar charts from other trackers,
scrollbars
HTML Report creation for printing and/or emailing
Export to CSV file for import to spreadsheet applications, like Excel
Input fields track bar chart selection
Minor bug fixes.
