Is there any way to implant the counter without G-mail?

I'm on day 6, free from PMO, and evident in one of the posts I've read here, those groovy counters are applied through Gmail accounts, or something. Is there another way? I would appreciate some precise instruction (I've been using such functions for many years now, but I'm a luddite, in spirit, and still use a Nokia brick, rather than a smart phone).
