How to use the tally counter
- Tap the big + button (or press Space or the up arrow) to add one. Use − (or the down arrow) to take one away.
- Click the name to rename the counter, or click the number to type a count directly. Set Step to count in twos, fives or tens.
- Press Add counter to keep several tallies at once; switch between them in the list or with keys 1 to 9. Copy or download the counts when you’re done.
Counting with it
The big button counts on press, not on release, so fast tapping never loses a count. It’s sized for a thumb on a phone, and on a computer Space works from anywhere on the page. The number itself is a text field: click it to type a starting value, or to fix a miscount.
Use Step when you count in groups, such as boxes of 6 or rows of 10. The + button then shows the step it adds.
Ideas for multiple counters
- Headcounts: adults and children, or each entrance of a venue.
- Surveys and traffic counts: cars, bikes and people walking.
- Workouts: sets or laps for each exercise.
- Knitting and crochet: rows and repeats.
- Birdwatching: one counter per species.
Each counter keeps its own name and number, and the list shows the total of all of them.
