Tally Counter

Everyday

Hit the big button (or press space / arrow up) to increment, minus key to decrement, R to reset. Add as many counters as you need — each tracks its own value, step, and optional goal. Everything is saved to your browser's local storage so a refresh, tab switch, or laptop sleep doesn't lose the count. Useful for crowd counts, set repetitions, inventory checks, study habits, anything you'd previously tally on paper.

Total: 0Click a card, then Space / ↑ to add, − / ↓ to subtract, R to reset.

How to use

  1. Click the big number (or press Space / ↑) to add the step.
  2. Press − / ↓ to subtract. R resets the focused counter.
  3. Click a counter to focus it for keyboard shortcuts.
  4. Add more counters with the + button; remove with the × on each card.

Frequently asked questions

Does it sync across devices?
No — saves go to this browser's local storage. To move counters to another device you'd need a sync service; this tool stays simple.
What does 'goal' do?
Setting a positive goal turns the big button green when you reach or exceed it. Useful for 'count to 50 push-ups' style targets.
Why doesn't space-bar work?
Click a counter card first to focus it — the shortcuts target the focused counter so multiple counters don't compete for the same key.
Is there an undo?
Not yet — once you reset a counter, the value is gone. The total on top is recomputed from all counters live, so be careful with Reset all.
