No signup, no app install required — open it in any browser and start counting.
Common Counting Scenarios in Education
Tracking class participation
One counter per student. Tap when each student contributes verbally. End-of-week summary shows participation distribution at a glance.
Behavior point tracking (positive and negative)
Dual counters per student — green for positive behaviors, red for redirects. Discreet phone counting avoids disrupting the classroom.
Daily attendance counting
Quick total of students present vs absent vs tardy. Three counters, tap as each student walks in, total visible at a glance.
Vocabulary drill repetitions
Counter for each vocab word — track how many times the class practices each word. Reset weekly.
Counting reading minutes or fluency words-per-minute
Tap with each word read by a student during fluency assessment. End count divided by minutes = words-per-minute.
Track behavior across the day for one student
Single student, single counter — track interventions, redirects, breaks, or positive behaviors throughout the day for documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I track multiple students or behaviors simultaneously?
Yes. Add a counter for each student or behavior type. Label them clearly (e.g., 'Maya - participation', 'Liam - participation'). The Grid view shows all counters at a glance — tap whichever applies.
Is the counter discreet enough to use during class without disrupting students?
Yes. The app uses silent counting by default — no click sound. Vibration feedback is optional. Counters update instantly on screen so a quick glance + tap is all you need.
Can I share the counts with another teacher or co-teacher?
With a free account, counts sync across all your devices. Multi-user counter sharing (for co-teachers) is planned for late 2026.
Do counts persist between class periods or days?
Yes. Counts save in your browser's local storage between sessions. With a free account, they sync to the cloud and persist across devices.
Can I print or export the counts for documentation?
Cloud sync stores counts across days. CSV export for documentation is planned for late 2026; in the meantime, you can screenshot the Grid view for records.
How is this better than tally marks on paper?
Paper tallies get lost, smudged, or recounted incorrectly. Digital counters save automatically, show totals instantly, allow undo if you over-tap, and let you track multiple students/behaviors at once without flipping pages.
