What is a stock counter?

A stock counter keeps a running total for each product while you check the shelves. In Tapsle every product gets its own counter, with a step for cases, a note for the shelf or bay, and Set value for numbers you already know.

  • One counter per product
  • Count by the case with a step
  • Set value for known totals
  • Export every count to one file
Your stock, in Tapsle

Count the shelf, not the spreadsheet.

Walk the aisle with your phone and tap as you go. Set a step for full cases, and write the shelf or date in the note.

Stock counter questions

Can I count by the case?

Yes. Set a step, such as 12 or 24, and each tap adds a full case. Minus takes the same amount away.

Can several people count at once?

Yes, with Plus. Share a counter link and everyone adds to the same total from their own phone.

Can I get the counts into a spreadsheet?

Yes. Export every count to a file for free, or send them to Google Sheets automatically with Plus.

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.
