Hey yall, I’m 14 and interested in app design. I’m trying to create this app that lets you take a quiz to determine the minimum of how many times you should wash your hands in a day, then whenever you press this button signifying that you washed your hands, the daily number goes down by one- at the end of 24 hours, it resets back to the minimum value. It’s essentially a normal water tracker app.
I have a basic idea, but my execution always goes wrong. Can anyone help me on how you can create a tracker task with a 24-hour countdown until it resets to the basic value?

Hey @covidviperapph 👋! Sounds like a sweet app!
you could do this two ways.
Follow this logic:
Initialize a stored var named savedTime
Set stored savedTime = join text (current month + current day)
Then check
if savedTime ≠ join text (current month + current day)
Reset counter

do we have to use a timer for the Reset counter? How exacly do you do that?
