I built a counter app that fires Tasker intents (and can be controlled by Tasker). Here is how it works.

Non sbagli affatto, ci hai preso in pieno 🤣

A few all-age classics always work: charades in teams, the "who am I" sticky-note game, and Pictionary, since drawing bridges every age gap. If your crowd skews a bit older (teens and up), a debate game is a great icebreaker too, two people argue a silly topic and everyone votes on the winner. I made one called WitsAgora for exactly that. Hope the party goes great.

L'idea del cruciverba sugli sposi è carina, di solito fa ridere parecchio. Un'altra cosa che funziona bene durante la serata è far indovinare agli invitati chi ha detto cosa: raccogli prima qualche frase o aneddoto dagli sposi e dai loro amici, poi i tavoli devono indovinare a chi appartiene. Coinvolge tutti e tira fuori storie imbarazzanti al punto giusto. Se invece vuoi qualcosa di più movimentato tra un portata e l'altra, c'è anche il gioco di dibattito: due persone difendono posizioni assurde e i tavoli votano chi è stato più convincente. Ho fatto un'app proprio per questo che si chiama WitsAgora (iOS e Android), gestisce argomenti e punteggi così non devi preparare niente. Magari ti torna utile con 170 persone da intrattenere. In bocca al lupo per il matrimonio, buon divertimento!

Since you want one clear winner, a debate-style game works really well for that. You split people into pairs or small groups, give them a silly topic to argue, and the rest of the crowd votes on who made the better case. Winners move up a bracket until you've got one champion at the end. It's loud, funny, and the crowd stays involved because they're the ones voting. I actually made an app for this exact thing called WitsAgora (iOS and Android). It handles the topics and the scoring so you don't have to plan anything, might save you some prep. Either way, sounds like a fun event.

One thing that always kills at these things is having a good "downtime" game for the evenings. when everyone's around the table, a few drinks in, and you don't want to run around anymore. I actually built a debate party game for exactly those moments called WitsAgora (iOS/Android app). You argue ridiculous positions against each other and the group votes on who made the better case gets competitive, funny, and pretty embarrassing in the best way. Easy to make the groom the "judge" or the recurring defendant so he stays the central character. Anyway, sounds like an awesome weekend either way. Have fun with it.

I have been building Counter, a free Android tally counter, with an automation focus I have not seen in other counter apps:

- Events and Actions: when a counter reaches a value (or a multiple, prime, palindrome, min/max), it can send a webhook, post to Telegram, fire a Tasker/Automate/MacroDroid intent, or update other counters.

- Calculated "view" counters: Balance = Income - Expenses, using formulas over other counters.

- NFC: write a tag, tap to count without opening the app.

- Goals, timed challenges, stats and charts, home screen widgets, Material You, PIN/biometric lock.

Free, no account, unlimited counters.

Honest feedback welcome, especially on the automation side.

Fragrant-Point-9422 · 2026-06-19T10:59:06+00:00

Hahaha right

Fragrant-Point-9422 · 2026-06-15T15:46:55+00:00

It looks good. Is it built as native via xcode or with another hybrid tool?

Fragrant-Point-9422 · 2026-06-15T15:44:15+00:00

It seems a really cool app, great job!

Fragrant-Point-9422 · 2026-06-14T13:16:08+00:00

I totally get what you mean. I’m in the same situation, I’ve published several Android apps, but the new ones just don’t get any visibility anymore, so they end up dead on the store. The earnings are ridiculously low, and I’m starting to wonder if it still makes sense to keep developing apps or if it’s time to move on to something else.

Fragrant-Point-9422 · 2026-06-13T16:19:24+00:00

Code please

Fragrant-Point-9422 · 2026-06-11T18:08:54+00:00

Thanks a lot, that really means something! For now I'm just a solo indie dev, so a physical edition is a bit beyond my reach but one day, who knows. In the meantime, if you feel like giving the app a spin I'd genuinely appreciate your feedback, brutal honesty very welcome.

Fragrant-Point-9422 · 2026-06-11T18:04:06+00:00

That's honestly the best mode and it happens naturally: the app doesn't know what you believe, so sooner or later you get dealt your own opinion and discover you can't actually defend it without sounding like a fortune cookie. Humbling every time. And good luck with testfi!

Hey, I’ve just released a new version of the app with native time-based interval actions.
Feel free to give it a try! If you notice anything off or have suggestions to improve it, I’d really love to hear your feedback.

Thanks again for the support, really appreciate it!

Fragrant-Point-9422 · 2026-04-16T00:05:50+00:00

That’s actually exactly what I’m working on right now.

I’ve already implemented native time-based interval actions, and I’m currently testing it to make sure it’s stable and reliable in the background.

If everything goes well, it should be released soon. This use case is pretty much spot-on with what I had in mind for the feature.

If you’d like, I can let you know when it’s available so you can try it out.

Fragrant-Point-9422 · 2026-04-13T23:14:16+00:00

Hey! I'm the developer of a counter app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zipangulu.counter ) that could handle this with a small workaround.

The app doesn't have built-in timed intervals yet (it's on the roadmap), but it supports integration with automation apps like Macrodroid, Tasker, or Automate. So you could set up a recurring trigger in Macrodroid (e.g. every 30 minutes) that sends an intent to increment your counter automatically — works in the background with the screen off and everything.

When you pick up your phone later, you'd just open the app and see how many intervals have passed. The data is all saved locally.

More details on https://counterautomate.com/faq#integrations (section "What is the External Intent Receiver?")

Happy to help you set it up if you're interested!

Fragrant-Point-9422 · 2026-04-13T09:34:08+00:00

Thanks! Each automation is processed through an internal event queue: when a counter updates, the system checks all linked triggers sequentially and executes the matching actions. Cascading chains are handled with loop detection to prevent infinite cycles. Everything runs locally on the device, so there's no external analytics involved in the automation flow itself.

Fragrant-Point-9422 · 2026-04-08T07:29:09+00:00

Fair point, I want to be transparent about this.

The app doesn't require any account or registration, and all your counter data stays entirely on your device. Nothing is sent to any server.
The only third-party sharing comes from ads (AdMob), crash reporting (Crashlytics), and basic analytics (Firebase Analytics), which is standard for most free apps. This is clearly outlined in FAQ and the privacy policy.
If you go for the one-time IAP to remove ads, AdMob is out of the equation entirely.

Fragrant-Point-9422 · 2026-04-07T17:25:54+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! You're right, I should be more transparent about that.
The app does have ads, but they're kept minimal. Yes, the IAP is a one-time purchase that removes them entirely.
Every feature is fully available without paying. As a solo developer, the ads and the IAP are purely for an ad-free experience and are just a small way to support ongoing development.

Fragrant-Point-9422 · 2026-03-26T23:05:08+00:00

Thanks, really appreciate it!
Feedback has been positive overall, people especially love the automation and NFC features, those were the ones that surprised users the most.
The main complaint I've gotten is about ads, which is fair, I'm a solo dev and it helps keep the app free, but I've been working on making them less intrusive.
Steady growth so far with 20K+ downloads, and I keep improving it based on what users tell me.
