Tally counter

Tap the button or press the space bar to count.

A tally counter that's always in your pocket

This works like the mechanical clicker counters used at doors, events and stocktakes, but it's free, it never jams, and it remembers your count. Tap the big button on your phone, or press the space bar on a computer, to add one.

Add as many counters as you need and give each one a name. The total across all counters is shown below the list, which makes it easy to count adults and children, cars by colour, or votes for several options.

Popular uses

Counting attendance at the door, laps at the pool or track, stitches and rows in knitting, stock on shelves, birds or traffic for a survey, and points in games.

Questions people ask

How do I use the tally counter?

Tap the big button or press the space bar to add one. Use the minus button or the down arrow to take one off. Your count is saved in your browser, so it's still there if you close the page.

Can I count more than one thing?

Yes. Add extra counters with their own names, for example adults and children at an event, or each team's score.

Does it work offline?

Once the page has loaded, the counter keeps working without a connection, which is handy for events and stocktakes.

Can I count by more than one at a time?

Yes. Change the step size to count in 2s, 5s, 10s or any number you like.
