Counting up with no ceiling is fine when you don't know the total in advance. Very often you do: a venue holds 250, a box takes 24, a target is 1,000 steps or 100 signatures. In those cases what you actually want to know isn't how many you've counted — it's how many are left.

So this counter shows both. The large number is the running count; the number underneath is what remains before the limit.

Counting towards a target

A progress bar sits above the remaining figure and fills as you approach the limit. That matters more than it sounds: a bare number tells you where you are, but a bar tells you how far along you are without doing arithmetic, which is the difference between glancing and stopping to think.

When the count reaches the maximum the counter stops accepting increases rather than sailing past it. That's a deliberate hard stop — a counter that silently exceeds a capacity limit is worse than useless.

Common limits people set

LimitTypical use
10 or 20Sets, rounds, small batches, sample counts
30Days in a month, a class register, a habit streak
50Reps, raffle tickets, a half-century of anything
100Percentages, targets, page counts, test items
200 – 250Room capacity, event tickets, seating limits
1000Step goals, fundraising counts, long batch runs

Capacity counting done properly

If you're counting people into a room with a legal capacity, the limit is the whole point — and you need the count to survive a mistake. Undo steps back one at a time, so a double-click near the ceiling doesn't leave you guessing whether the room is at 249 or 250.

For a door with people going both in and out, the minus control matters as much as the plus: count up on the way in, down on the way out, and the number on screen is the number currently inside.

Questions people ask

What happens when the count reaches the limit?

It stops. The counter won't go past the maximum, and the label changes to say the limit has been reached.

Can I set the limit to any number?

Yes, any whole number under Settings. The progress bar and the remaining figure both follow it.

Can I count down from the limit instead?

Yes — the countdown counter starts at the maximum and decreases with each click.
