People Counter
Opens with two counters — In and Out — so you can track a door in both directions. Tap the tabs to switch between them.
Other counters
Counting people is the original job of the handheld clicker: doors, turnstiles, tour groups, church services, classrooms, buses. It's also the job where losing count matters most, because the number is usually tied to a capacity, a headcount for safety, or a figure someone has to report.
Counting in and out
This page opens with two counters rather than one, because a door is rarely one-directional. Count arrivals on In, departures on Out, and the difference is how many are currently inside.
If you only care about the current occupancy rather than the totals, use a single counter instead and press minus as people leave — the number on screen is then the live figure with no arithmetic needed.
Capacity and safety limits
Venues, lifts, boats and function rooms have legal occupancy limits, and exceeding them is a genuine safety and licensing problem rather than a rounding error. Set the maximum under Settings and the counter shows how many more people can be admitted and refuses to count past the limit.
For a stewarding job, that remaining number is the one to watch — it's the answer to the question the person on the door is actually being asked.
Practical notes for door work
- Turn vibration on so each count registers without looking down at the screen
- Add the page to your home screen so it opens full screen from an icon
- Add a counter per entrance if several people are counting the same event
- The total survives a locked phone or a dropped connection — nothing is uploaded
- Undo fixes a double-count without restarting the whole tally
Questions people ask
Can I count people entering and leaving separately?
Yes — this page starts with two counters, In and Out, so both directions are tracked independently.
Can I set a room capacity?
Yes. Set the maximum under Settings and the counter shows how many places are still available, then stops at the limit.
Does it work if I lock my phone?
Yes. The count is saved in the browser, so it's still there when you unlock and come back.
