Tally Counter
Count people, laps, stock or anything else with one tap. Count up or down by any step, set a target, and use the keyboard on a computer.
About this tool
On a computer, press Space, + or ↑ to count up and − or ↓ to count down. The count is saved in this browser, so a refresh does not lose it; nothing is sent anywhere.
A digital clicker for counting anything: people coming through a door, laps, reps, stock on a shelf or votes. Tap + to count up and − to count down, set a step if you count in twos or tens, and add a target to see how many are left.
How to use the Tally Counter
- Tap + to add one, or − to take one away.
- Change the step to count in bigger jumps, for example 5 or 10.
- Type a target to see how many are left until you reach it.
- On a computer, press Space, + or ↑ to count up and − or ↓ to count down.
- Tap Reset to go back to 0.
Counting a queue
You are counting visitors at an event with a capacity of 250. Set the target to 250 and tap + for each person who comes in. After 180 taps the tool shows 70 to go, and it shows “Target reached” at 250. If two people leave, tap − twice.
Your count is kept on this device
The count is saved in your browser’s local storage, so refreshing the page or closing the tab doesn’t lose it. It is not sent anywhere, and clearing your browser data resets it. By default the counter doesn’t go below zero; tick the box if you need negative numbers, for example to track a difference.
