Online Click Counter
A simple counter that lives in your browser. Click, tap or press the spacebar — and unlike most online counters, this one still has your number tomorrow.
Daily history — last 30 days
Keyboard: Space + ↑ → add · − ↓ ← subtract · Z undo
This is a free online click counter: press the big + button, the spacebar or the up arrow to add one, press − to take one away, and hit undo if your thumb slipped. There is no account to make and nothing is uploaded — the number lives in your own browser.
Most online counter tools forget everything the moment you close the tab. This one keeps a running count per counter, remembers when you last used it, and quietly records how much you counted each day, so you can look back over the last 30 days or export the lot as a spreadsheet.
What an online click counter actually does
A click counter — sometimes written counter online, or just a counter clicker — is the digital version of the little metal tally clicker a doorman carries. You press once per thing and the number goes up by one. That idea has not changed in a hundred years.
What changes online is everything between the presses. A physical clicker holds one number and nothing else: lose your grip and the count is gone. A counter online holds several numbers at once, names each of them, undoes the press you did not mean to make, and keeps the total safe while you close the tab. This one does all four without asking who you are.
A digital counter you do not have to carry
A digital counter on a screen you already own beats a hand counter you have to remember to bring. There is no battery to go flat, no button counter to jam, and nothing left behind in the pocket of a coat you did not wear today.
It is also a simple counter on purpose. The counter button is the biggest thing on the page, sized so a thumb lands on it without aiming, and pressing it does exactly one thing. The step size, the number to stop at and renaming are folded away behind Settings until you go looking. A counter digital enough to export a spreadsheet is still, on the surface, a big + and a number.
Click it, tap it, or press the spacebar
You can drive the counter three ways, and all three move the same number.
On a laptop it works as a counter online clicker: the spacebar, the + key and the up and right arrows each add one, while −, the down arrow and the left arrow each subtract one. Your hands never have to leave the keyboard, which matters when the thing you are counting is in front of you and the screen is only half-watched.
On a phone it is a tap. The + button is taller than a thumb is wide so you can count without looking down, and the page will not zoom when you tap quickly. With a mouse it is simply a counter online click — press the button, the number goes up.
Keep several counters running side by side
Add a counter for each thing you are counting and rename it. Each keeps its own total, step size and limit, and pressing + on one never moves the other. It works as a line counter online when you are working down a list, or as two counters facing each other: in and out, done and still to do.
Every counter also keeps a quiet daily record. Open the 30-day chart to see which days were busy, or press Export CSV for a spreadsheet with one row per day and one column per counter. That is the part a things counter app usually puts behind a subscription.
Your count stays on your own device
Nothing here is sent anywhere. There is no account, no email box and no server holding your numbers — the count is written into your own browser storage and read back out of it. Clear your browsing data and it is gone, because nobody else ever had a copy.
The practical side is that it keeps working with the internet switched off. Load the page once and you can count on a plane or in a basement stockroom, and the number is still waiting when you surface. Add it to your home screen and it opens full-screen like an app, without ever having been one.
What people count here
- Stock and inventory
- Walk the shelves and click once per item instead of scribbling on paper, then export the day as a CSV.
- Foot traffic in a shop
- Count everyone in as a retail traffic counter — a store traffic counter with no hardware to fit.
- Golf strokes
- A golf stroke counter for the round, or a golf shot counter for one hole. Reset in between.
- People through a door
- Events, church attendance and gym check-ins — the foot traffic counter you already have in your pocket.
- Reps, laps and lengths
- Push-ups, pool lengths, laps of a track. Set the step size to count in twos or fives.
- Rows and stitches
- Knitting and crochet, where losing your place costs an evening.
Frequently asked questions
Does the online click counter save my count?
Yes. Every change is written to your browser straight away, so refreshing the page, closing the tab or restarting your computer will not reset it. A line above the counter tells you when you last used it and what you left off at.
Can I have more than one counter at the same time?
Yes, as many as you want, and each one can be renamed. Add a counter with the "Add counter" button — useful when you are counting two or three things at once, like rows and repeats, or men and women through a door.
How do I use the counter with the keyboard?
Spacebar, plus, up arrow or right arrow all add one. Minus, down arrow or left arrow subtract one. Press Z to undo. The keyboard applies to whichever counter you last touched.
Is there an undo button?
Yes. Undo steps back through your last 50 changes, including resets and deletes, so a mis-tap is never a problem.
Can I count by 2 or 5 instead of 1?
Open Settings on any counter and change the step size. You can also set a number to stop at, and type an exact value if you want to start from a count you already have.
Do I need a counter app for iPhone or Android?
No. There is no counter app iPhone or Android users need to install — this runs in the browser on your phone, with no permissions to grant. Use "Add to Home Screen" and it opens full-screen the way a things counter app would, and it still works with no signal.
Can I export my counts?
Yes. The export button gives you a CSV with one row per day and one column per counter, which opens directly in Excel or Google Sheets.
Will my counts be visible to anyone else?
No. Nothing is sent anywhere. The numbers are stored only in the browser on the device you used, which also means they do not follow you to another phone or computer.
How do I use the counter?
Press the big + button to add one and − to take one away. Nothing needs setting up first: the number starts at zero, saves itself as you go, and is still there when you come back. Press undo if your thumb slipped, and Add counter if you need a second number running alongside.
What are counter numbers?
The counter number is simply the running total a counter holds — one number per thing you are counting. Each counter here keeps its own, along with its own name, step size and optional number to stop at, so several totals can run at once without getting mixed up.
What is a finger counter used for?
A finger counter is a small clicker worn on the finger or thumb and pressed once per item, so you can count without looking at it or writing anything down. It is used for stocktakes, laps, prayers, reps and headcounts — the same jobs this page does, without anything to wear.
How do I reset the clicker?
Press Reset on the counter you want back to zero. If you did not mean to, undo brings the number straight back — it steps through the last 50 changes, resets and deletes included.
Can I use it as a golf bead counter?
Yes. A golf bead counter is a row of beads you slide one at a time to count strokes, which is exactly what a counter with a step of 1 does. Rename it to the hole or the round, and set a number to stop at if you want it to flag when you reach par.
