Online Counter

Yes. Simple Online Counter is completely free, has no sign-up requirement, no usage limit and no ads. It runs entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to buy, subscribe to or install.

Yes. Every counter, its name, its step size and its current value are saved to your browser's local storage automatically. Refreshing the page, closing the tab or restarting your device will not lose your place.

Yes. Unlike most online counters, this one is not locked at zero, so you can drop below it. That matters for scorekeeping, tracking a deficit, or counting down from a starting number.

For everyday use, no. The counter handles values up to 9,007,199,254,740,991, which is the largest whole number a browser can hold exactly. No realistic tally, headcount or rep count will reach it.

No. Your counts are stored only in your browser's local storage, on your own device. They are never uploaded, never attached to an account, and no one else can see them, including us.

Yes. Set the step size to any whole number to count by twos, tens, hundreds or any custom amount instead of one at a time. Quick buttons for ×1, ×2, ×5 and ×10 sit under the step field.

Yes, and there is no limit. Create, rename, duplicate and delete as many counters as you need, then switch between them from the counter list. Each keeps its own value, start number and step size.

Yes. Use the Undo button or Ctrl+Z to reverse the last change, and Ctrl+Y or Ctrl+Shift+Z to redo it. The counter remembers your last 100 changes, so a double-tap is never a problem.

Yes. Once the page has loaded once, the counter keeps working with no internet connection, because all the counting happens in your browser. That makes it usable in a basement, a pool hall or on a plane.

Yes. The counter is designed mobile-first, with large thumb-sized buttons, optional vibration feedback and a full-screen focus mode. You can also add it to your home screen so it opens like an app.

They do the same job. “Tally counter” usually refers to the handheld metal clicker used for headcounts, while “online counter” refers to the browser version. This tool replaces the clicker and adds undo, multiple counters and custom steps.

No. Reset is a press-and-hold, not a single tap, so a stray touch cannot wipe a long count. Delete also asks for a second tap to confirm. Undo will bring back a value even after a reset.

Yes. Open “Min / max limits” under the counter, tick Enable limits, and set a floor, a ceiling, or both. The counter refuses to pass them and tells you when you have hit the limit.

Yes. Plus, Up arrow and Space all count up; minus and Down arrow count down. R resets, N creates a new counter, Ctrl+Z undoes and Ctrl+Y redoes. Escape leaves focus mode.

You can open it anywhere, but counts do not sync between devices. Each browser keeps its own counters locally. That is what allows the tool to work with no account and no server, and it means nothing you count is ever transmitted.

Clearing site data or local storage deletes your counters, because that is the only place they exist. Copy any total you need to keep before clearing, or before switching to a new device or browser.

Yes, but only for that session. Private windows discard local storage when closed, so counts will not be there next time. For anything you need to keep, use a normal window.

Yes. In Chrome on Android use the browser menu and choose Install app or Add to home screen. On iPhone use Share then Add to Home Screen in Safari. It then opens full screen with no browser bar.

Because a single tap is too easy to trigger by accident, and losing a long count to a stray touch is the worst thing a counter can do. Holding for under a second confirms you meant it.

Yes. Open the Auto count panel, choose a speed from every 0.1 seconds to once an hour, and press Start auto. It uses your step size, counts up or down, and stops on its own when it reaches a min or max limit.

Anything that happens on a fixed rhythm rather than on your input: pacing intervals in a workout, timing rounds, running a countdown, driving a display during a demonstration, or accumulating a figure over a set period without standing over it.

No. An entire auto run is recorded as a single undo entry, so pressing Undo once returns the counter to the value it held before you started, however many steps it took while running.

Yes. It works from the clock rather than a simple timer, so when you return the count reflects the time that actually passed. Very long absences are capped so you never come back to a runaway number.

Tick “Count down instead of up” in the Auto count panel before pressing Start auto. Combined with a custom start value and a minimum limit, that gives you a countdown that halts exactly where you want it.

A simple counter is a tool that increases a number by one each time you press a button, so you do not have to hold a running total in your head. The term also covers handheld mechanical clickers and, in programming, a variable that increments inside a loop.

A small script in your browser listens for a click, tap or keypress, adds your step size to the stored value, and redraws the number on screen. Nothing is sent anywhere: the total lives in your browser's local storage, which is why it keeps working offline.

Most commonly headcounts at a door, workout reps, pool lengths, stock takes, survey tallies, game scores, and dhikr or prayer counts. Anything where events arrive faster than you can write numbers down, or where you need several separate counts running at once.

Most are, including this one, with no sign-up and no download. Some charge for team syncing, cloud backup or removing ads. This counter is free with no usage limit, carries no advertising, and stores nothing on a server, so there is no paid tier to upsell.

Open this page in your phone's browser and tap the large plus button. On a Samsung Galaxy there is also a built-in tally counter inside Edge panels, under Settings, Display, Edge panels, Tools. App-store counters work too, but a browser needs no install.

Four things decide whether one is usable beyond a minute: undo for a miscount, several named counters at once, a custom step size, and counts that survive closing the tab. Negative numbers and a min or max limit matter for scoring and targets.
