How to use it
- Tap or click the big number area to count up; use Subtract if you tapped once too many.
- Optional: set “Count by” to 2, 5 or 10, add a goal, or turn on the click sound.
- Add more counters and name them (for example “In” and “Out”); tap a counter in the list to make it the active one.
Questions and answers
Are my counts saved if I close the page?
Yes. Counts and names are stored in this browser on this device, so they are still there when you return. They are not sent anywhere; clearing the browser data or using a private window erases them.
Can I count with the keyboard?
Yes. Space, Enter, + or the up arrow add; −, the down arrow or Backspace subtract. On a phone, the whole number area is one big button, so you can count without looking at the screen.
What can I use a tally counter for?
Counting people at a door, gym repetitions, knitting rows, laps, inventory, birds, cars in a traffic survey, or scores in a game. With two counters you can track people going in and out at the same time.
