What is an event counter?

An event counter keeps track of how many people have arrived and how many are inside. In Tapsle you keep one counter for people in and one for people out, or one per door, with a target for your capacity.

Your event, in Tapsle

Every door adds to one number.

Share a counter link with your door staff and each person taps on their own phone. Tapsle adds every tap to the same live total, and you can show it on a screen.

Counting at several doors

Each staff member opens the shared link and taps on their own phone, with no account or app to install. Every tap is added to one total and attributed, so a mistake is easy to trace.

A live number on a screen

Open the shared counter on a TV or tablet at the venue. The number updates as soon as anyone taps, with no refresh.

Event counter questions

Can several people count into one total?

Yes, with Plus. Share a counter link and everyone taps on their own phone. Staff do not need an account or an app.

Can I show the count on a screen?

Yes. Open the shared counter on a TV or tablet and it updates live as people tap.

Can I count people leaving too?

Yes. Keep one counter for people in and one for people out, and the difference is the number inside.

Is Tapsle free?

Yes. Unlimited counters, targets, steps, notes, lock, focus mode, pop out and export are free, with no account. Free includes up to 5 groups and 1 counter on a timer. Tapsle Plus adds sync, backups, longer history, shared counters and integrations, for $2.99 a month or $25.99 a year.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Once Tapsle has loaded, counting keeps working with no connection, and you can install it on your phone or computer like an app. Your counts are saved on your device as you go.

Can I export my counters?

Yes, free. Export saves every counter to one file, and Import brings them back on any device. Your counts belong to you.

Can I keep the counter on screen while I work?

Yes, on Chrome and Edge on a computer. Choose Pop out and the counter floats above your other windows, with +1 and −1 inside it, so you can count while you read, watch or type. Phones and Safari do not support this, so the button only appears where it works.

Is my data private?

Yes. Your counters stay on your device. There is no account, and nothing is sent to us unless you turn on sync with Tapsle Plus.

What is the difference between Free and Plus?

Free is the counter: unlimited counters, up to 5 groups, 1 timer counter, targets, offline use, export and 7 days of history. Plus is memory: sync across up to 5 devices, nightly backups, 60 days of history with charts, shared counter links, unlimited groups and timers, and integrations. Cancelling Plus never removes a counter.
