Simple Counter Features
Quick Plus and Minus Controls
Increase or decrease the number with a single tap or click. The plus and minus controls make it easy to correct the count if you press the wrong button.
Flexible Step Sizes
You can choose between step sizes of 1, 5, and 10. Use a step of 1 for individual items or choose a larger step when you need to update the count more quickly.
Set Any Starting Number
The counter does not have to start at zero. Open Settings and enter a custom count when you want to continue an existing count or begin from a specific number.
Optional Counting Limits
If you need to keep the count within a particular range, you can enable minimum and maximum limits. Once enabled, the counter will stay within the values you set.
Custom Display Colors
Choose from the available theme colors in Settings to personalize the appearance of the counter and make the number easier to recognize.
Automatic Saving
Your current count and selected settings are saved automatically in your browser. This makes it possible to return to the page and continue from your saved state.
Continue Your Count Later
You do not need to write down your current number every time you pause. The counter saves its state in your browser, allowing you to return to the page and continue from where you left off.
Keep in mind that saved data is stored locally in your browser. Clearing the site’s stored data, using a different browser, or switching to another device may mean that your previous count is not available.
Why Use an Online Counter?
A physical tally counter is useful, but an online counter can be more convenient when you already have your phone, tablet, or computer with you. You can see the number clearly and change it whenever necessary.
There is also no need to remember the number yourself. The current count stays on the screen while you focus on the task you are counting.
