Watashi -- The only way for offline applications to share a counter would require, as you said, a shared server. If they can all access a shared server, then they're not really "offline". You can have each client synchronize to the current counter and store it in Gears, but if one of them increments it the rest of them won't see the change until they synchronize to the shared server again.
