- Press Full screen, or F, to show the count to the room.
Questions
What keyboard shortcuts are there?
Space or + adds one to the first counter and − takes one away. Number keys 1 to 8 add one to that counter, and Shift with a number takes one away. U undoes, R resets the counts, and F goes full screen.
What can I use it for?
Counting people through a door, laps run, votes by show of hands, birds seen, stitches knitted, or good behaviour points. With several counters you get a total too.
Do the counts stay if I close the tab?
Yes. The names and counts are saved in this browser, so a reload or a closed tab doesn't lose them. Reset counts sets them all back to 0, and Undo brings them back.
Is anything sent to a server?
No. The counter runs in your browser and the counts are saved on this device only.
