A free online click counter for people, laps, votes, stock or anything else — add as many named counters as you need. Auto-saves in your browser.
A tally counter is a simple device — traditionally a handheld mechanical clicker — used to count something one increment at a time without needing to keep a running total in your head. This page is the digital equivalent: press a button to add one, press another to subtract one, and the current total is always visible and saved automatically.
Unlike a single physical clicker, you can run several named counters side by side here — useful any time you're tracking more than one thing at once, like counting adults and children separately at an event, or tracking wins, losses and draws during a game.
| Setting | What's counted |
|---|---|
| Events & venues | People entering, exiting, or at capacity |
| Retail & warehousing | Manual stock counts, foot traffic |
| Sport & fitness | Laps, reps, sets, scores |
| Meetings | Votes, show of hands |
| Research | Observed occurrences over a time period |
What can I use a tally counter for?
Counting anything one at a time — people entering a venue, laps completed, votes in a show of hands, stock during a manual count, repetitions in a workout, or occurrences of anything you want to track. It replaces a physical clicker or making tally marks on paper.
Is my count saved if I close the tab?
Yes. Every counter and its current number is saved automatically to your browser's local storage, so it's still there the next time you open this page on the same device and browser. Clearing your browser data will remove it.
Can I have more than one counter running at once?
Yes, add as many named counters as you need — for example separate counters for "Adults", "Children" and "Staff" at an event. Each one counts independently and is saved separately.
Are there keyboard shortcuts?
Yes. With the page focused, press the Up arrow or spacebar to add one to the first counter, and the Down arrow to subtract one. This is useful for fast counting without needing to click precisely.
Can the count go negative?
Yes, if you subtract more than you've added. This is intentional — it can help you notice a mismatch if you're counting people in and out, for example.
Is this tool free with no limits?
Yes. There's no sign-up, no counter limit, and no paid tier — every feature on this page, including multiple saved counters, is free.
