Attendance Counter
A simple tap counter for door staff and ticket sellers: tap +1 for every person who enters, and correct the tally instantly if you misclick. Nothing you tap is sent anywhere — the count is saved only in this browser.
Frequently asked questions
Does this sync between multiple door staff or devices?
No. The count lives only in your browser on the device you tapped it on (see the privacy notice) — it never reaches a server. If more than one person is counting at the same door, agree on a single device, or add each person’s tally together at the end of the night.
I misclicked and the count is wrong — how do I fix it?
Tap −1 to back it off one at a time, or tap directly on the number to type the exact correct value. Either way the new number saves immediately.
Will I lose the count if I close the tab or my phone locks?
No — the count is saved to your browser’s local storage after every tap, so it’s still there when you reopen this page on the same device and browser. Clearing your browser data, using a private/incognito window, or switching devices will reset it.
How do I start a fresh count for a new event?
Tap "Reset to 0" and confirm. There’s no undo, so only use it once the previous night’s number is recorded.
Does this count people leaving, or only entering?
It’s a single running total, so it’s built for counting entries at a one-way door. If people also leave and you need a live "currently inside" number, tap +1 on the way in and −1 on the way out — the display is the same either way.
Can it warn me when I’m approaching venue capacity?
Yes — enter your venue’s capacity limit in the "Capacity limit" field and the count turns amber once you’re within 10% of it, and red once you’ve hit or passed it, along with a note showing how many spaces are left (or how far over).
Does my phone screen stay on while I’m counting?
This page asks the browser to keep the screen awake while it’s open, so it shouldn’t lock mid-shift. Support varies by browser — if your screen still locks, that’s the browser declining the request, not a bug in the counter.
How do I record the final number at the end of the night?
Tap "Copy end-of-night summary" to copy a short text summary — start time, end time, final count, and capacity if you set one — to your clipboard, ready to paste into a message, email, or note. If your browser blocks clipboard access, the same text appears in a box you can select and copy by hand.
