## Overview

Count Up turns a screen into a live clock that runs forward instead of toward a deadline. You pick a start date and time, and the app counts up from that moment, displaying exactly how much time has passed. The figure advances continuously on screen, so a count that began at zero grows into days, weeks, and years that anyone walking past can read at a glance.

Because the number never stops moving, it gives a display a sense of momentum that a static sign cannot match. A factory floor can show how long it has gone without a safety incident, a coffee shop can mark the days since it opened, and a sports club can track the time since a record was set. In every case the elapsed count climbs on its own, so a milestone stays current without anyone updating the screen by hand.

As a Basic app, Count Up drops into a playlist or channel beside your other content, letting the elapsed-time display rotate with menus, promotions, or announcements. It works as a full-screen centerpiece or as one zone in a multi-zone layout, making it a straightforward way to keep a meaningful date in view across your screens.

## How businesses use it

- **Manufacturing safety boards** — A production line or warehouse posts a 'days since last incident' counter near the floor entrance that climbs automatically each shift, keeping the safety record visible to staff and visitors without anyone resetting a whiteboard.
- **Restaurant and cafe milestones** — A neighborhood cafe runs a counter showing the time since it first opened, slotted between menu boards so years in business become a point of pride that regulars and first-time guests both notice.
- **Office and team achievements** — A company lobby or break room screen tracks the time since a product launch, funding round, or system go-live, keeping a shared accomplishment in front of employees and guests throughout the day.
- **Gym and sports club records** — A fitness studio displays how long a club record or personal best has stood, with the growing streak shown on screens in the training area to push members toward beating it.
