How the tally counter works
- 01
Pick a mode
Stay in Single for one big tally, or switch to Multiple to track up to 12 separate counts side by side — like laps for every runner in a relay, or votes for every candidate on a ballot.
- 02
Tap to count
Tap the big button, press the − button, or use your keyboard: Space or the up arrow adds one, the down arrow or the minus key takes one away. Nothing to configure first.
- 03
Set a target and get notified
Give any counter a target from 1 to 999,999. The moment it is reached you get a short two-beep chime and a vibration, so you can keep your eyes on what you are counting instead of the screen.
Built for fast, one-handed counting
One tap, no setup
Open the page and start counting immediately. No sign-up, no menus to dig through — the button is the interface.
A target that gets your attention
A sound and a vibration mark the exact tap that hits your target, so you never have to glance down mid-count to check the number.
The screen stays awake
While you're counting, your phone or tablet won't dim or lock, so a long inventory check or a stadium head count never gets interrupted.
What is an online tally counter?
A tally counter is the digital version of the handheld clicker used at doors, on golf courses and in labs: one button, one number, nothing to distract you. This one adds a big tap target that works with a thumb, a mouse click or a keyboard, so it's just as comfortable held in one hand at a doorway as it is sitting on a desk during a stock count.
Use Single mode for anything with one running total: reps in a workout, laps around a track, cars through a gate, or rounds of a game. Switch to Multiple mode when you need several tallies at once — votes for each option in a show of hands, guests arriving at each entrance, or scores in a game where every player keeps their own count. Each counter in Multiple mode gets its own name, its own +/- buttons and its own optional target, and every counter keeps its value even after you switch modes back and forth.
Every count is saved in this browser as you go, so a refresh or an accidental tab close does not lose your place. Nothing is sent anywhere and there is no account to create — it is free to use for as many counts as you need.
A digital tally counter is useful whenever the job is to keep an accurate running total without interrupting what you are doing. Count people entering a room, laps during practice, repetitions in a workout, items in an inventory batch, votes during a poll, or observations in a field study. The large on-screen control is designed for quick taps, and keyboard controls let you count while the device is on a desk. If you make an accidental tap, subtract one to correct it; you can also enter a target so the counter alerts you when the count reaches a chosen number.
Choose Single mode when one number is enough, such as tracking completed sets or visitors through one entrance. Choose Multiple mode when you need separate totals side by side, such as counting arrivals at several doors or comparing votes for different options. You can name each counter so the numbers remain easy to tell apart, and each one keeps its own value and optional target. The tool supports up to 12 counters, with values from -999,999 to 999,999, so it can also track point totals that allow deductions.
This browser-based click counter keeps its data on the current device and browser. It is convenient for a quick count and does not require an account, but it is not a shared cloud log or a permanent record: clearing browser data can remove the saved values, and the counts do not automatically sync to another device. For a match with several teams and a visible ranked list, use an online scoreboard; for a tournament with advancing winners, use a tournament bracket maker.
For a count that lasts through a long shift or practice session, set a target before you begin and keep the device in the same browser profile. In Multiple mode, give every count a short, clear name such as “Front door,” “Back door,” or “Team A” so you can select the right total quickly. If several people need to contribute to one shared record, a local tally counter is not the right fit; use a tool with a shared live link or agree on one device as the official counter.

Questions
How do I count with the keyboard instead of tapping?
In Single mode, press Space or the up arrow to add one, and the down arrow or the minus key to take one away. Keyboard shortcuts are ignored while you are typing in a name or target field, so renaming a counter never accidentally bumps the count.
What happens when a counter reaches its target?
The instant the count reaches the target you set, you get two short beeps and, on supported devices, a quick vibration. If you go past the target and come back down and up again, it alerts again the moment you land back on it.
How many counters can I track at once?
Multiple mode supports up to 12 counters at the same time, each with its own name, running total and optional target. Single mode always shows the first one full-screen.
Can the count go negative?
Yes. Every counter can go as low as -999,999 and as high as 999,999, which covers use cases like scoring formats where points can be deducted.
Will I lose my counts if I close the tab or refresh?
No. Your mode, every counter’s name, value and target are saved in this browser automatically, so closing the tab, refreshing, or restarting your device keeps everything exactly where you left it.
Can I rename a counter after I have already started counting?
Yes, at any time. Edit the name field above the count in Single mode, or inside each card in Multiple mode — the running total is never affected by a rename.
What is an online tally counter used for?
A tally counter records repeated events as a running total. Use it to count attendance, people entering a venue, workout reps, laps, inventory items, votes, or any task where you would otherwise click a handheld counter or make marks on paper. Single mode tracks one total; Multiple mode keeps up to 12 named counts on screen.
Is this click counter free to use on a phone?
Yes. Open the page in a mobile browser and tap the large count button; there is no app to install or account to create. Multiple mode is available for tracking separate totals, and the screen stays awake while the counter is in use on supported devices. The interface also works with a mouse or keyboard on a computer.
