What is a Tally Counter?
A tally counter is an online tool that lets you count easily by tapping or clicking. It replaces physical clickers and can be used conveniently on smartphones or PCs. With support for multiple simultaneous counters, it's perfect for counting several items at once. Unlike a physical handheld counter, you can label each counter with a meaningful name, so it's always clear what you're tracking. The running total updates in real time as you tap, giving you an instant view of the overall count across all categories. Compared to tallying with pen and paper or typing numbers into a spreadsheet, this approach reduces the chance of mid-count errors and eliminates the need for manual transcription afterward.

FAQ
Can the count go negative?
Yes, you can go below zero using the -1 button. This is useful for correcting miscounts.
How many counters can I add?
There is no limit. You can add as many counters as you need.
Is my data saved?
No, all data is processed only in your browser and is reset when you close the page. Nothing is sent to or stored on any server.
Can I rename the counters?
Yes, click on a counter's name to edit it. Giving each counter a descriptive label — such as 'Gate A' and 'Gate B' — is especially helpful when running multiple counters at the same time.
What should I do if I accidentally tap the wrong count?
Press the -1 button to subtract one and correct the count. If you've lost track entirely, use the individual reset button to return that counter to zero and start over.
Is this easy to use on a smartphone?
Yes, the interface is optimized for touch input. The buttons are large enough to tap accurately even with one hand, making it practical to use while moving around during inventory or event work.
