Keep a running count without losing track

Visitors at the door, sets at the gym, stock on a shelf — a named tally keeps each count separate and saved.

The job

You need a running tally — how many people entered, how many reps are done, how many boxes are left — without paper marks or holding the number in your head. Add a named counter and tap.

How to do it

Name a counter for the thing being counted, then +1 for each event and −1 to correct a mis-tap. Reset sets one counter back to zero; the delete link removes it. Several counters run in parallel, and the total line sums them.

Worked example

Counting visitors through two doors: add Door A and Door B, tap on each entry, and the total is the day's footfall. The counters persist in the browser, so an accidental reload does not lose the count.

Limits

Counts live in this browser's local storage only — no account means no sync to a phone or a colleague's screen, and clearing site data erases them. For a shared count, read the number aloud or export it manually.
