Open Accumoo. The daily reading lesson explains the Events screen and how to record activity if you need an introduction.
Step 01
Create Books Finished.
We'll make an Event An activity you want to track, such as reading, walking, or staying hydrated. called Books Finished. One count means one whole book read. This is different from the daily reading lesson, where one count means one reading session.
- Tap Events in the bottom bar. Check the Events screen title; Challenges is a separate area.
- Tap the + in the top-right corner.
- On the New Event screen, skip Browse Templates and create your own activity below it.
- Scroll to Name and enter Books Finished.
- Leave Description blank, or add a reminder of what you're tracking.
- Under Event Type, select Counter.

Choosing colors and icons requires Premium; you can keep the defaults to follow this lesson.
Step 02
Keep one total across days and weeks.
Your Reset Period How often the current count starts over, such as daily or weekly. Earlier activity stays in History, subject to your account's history access. setting decides whether the count starts fresh on a schedule. A Lifetime Choose Never under Reset Period to keep one running total without an automatic reset. total keeps running without a daily, weekly, or other automatic reset.
The Counter option means no target—count as many or as few books as you like. A Counter can also reset daily or weekly, but we want this one to never reset.
- Tap Reset Period.
- Choose Never to keep your running total.
- Back on New Event, choose your starting number in Initial Count. Our pictures start at 0; you can include books you've already read.
- Check Start Date and choose today if you're starting now. Your date and its format may differ from the picture.
- Check Event Type is Counter and Reset Period is Never. The reset period can't be changed after the activity is created.
Save your activity.
On the New Event screen, tap Save in the top-right corner. If you've scrolled, the screen title and Save button remain at the top.
Books Finished now appears under Lifetime on the Events screen, starting at your chosen Initial Count.
Step 03
Record a finished book.
That records one book. The + in the screen header creates another activity instead.
Our example starts at zero. After three finished books, the card shows 3 events to date. Your total will differ if you included earlier books. Here, “events” means the books you've recorded. There's no target to reach, and the filled orange bar isn't a percentage of a goal.
Tapped once too many? Tap − on the same card to subtract one. The count won't go below zero. The picture uses demo counts; you don't need to add practice books to match it. Record your own finished books as you go.
With Reset Period set to Never, a new day or week doesn't start the count over. Your next finished book adds to the same total.
Step 04
Review changes to your reading total.
- On Events, tap the Books Finished name or card body.
- Choose History to open its screen.
- Turn on Show History Detail near the top to include individual count changes.
Your History Your record of count changes and past days, weeks, or other time intervals. Open an activity's menu to find it. records changes to this activity.
With detail off, you may see only Created: Books Finished.
Read the entries from newest to oldest. Count: 3 is the total after that change; it doesn't mean three books were added at once. In this example, the − entry at Count: 2 corrected an extra tap, and the next + brought the total back to 3.
Available History depends on your account. Keeping a Lifetime total and how much past History you can view are separate things.
