Counter App for Contractors and Job Sites

Intro

Job sites run on quantities: how many studs arrived, how many anchors are left, whether all six sleeves are in the forms. Counter App — Tally & Clicker, by GiveMeMood, turns an Android phone into a structured counting tool for contractors. Each counter holds tags with their own counts, targets, codes, locations and photos, every tap is logged with a time, and the result exports to CSV, Excel or an HTML report with embedded photos. It works offline, runs on Android 12 and newer, and is free to download with no ads; try it free for 3 days, then choose a yearly or monthly plan or a one-time lifetime purchase.

Use cases

Material counts by area

One counter per laydown area or floor, one tag per material. Steps from 1 to 100 let a single tap record a bundle or a pallet layer. See counting construction materials on Android.

Delivery verification

Set each tag's target to the quantity on the delivery ticket. The app can alert with sound or vibration on reaching it; anything short is your shortage list, with photos for the supplier.

Job site inventory

Categories for sites and phases, counters for trailers and gang boxes, a weekly count that takes minutes. See job site inventory for contractors.

Tool tracking

A counter per van, a tag per tool type or per high-value tool, with asset codes scanned into tags. See tool inventory tracking for contractors.

Pre-pour checklists

Tags with targets work as checklist items, with photos and notes on exceptions and a locked, exportable record. See the pre-pour checklist workflow.

Estimates and change orders

Field counts exported to CSV or Excel drop straight into a pricing sheet. See exporting material counts for estimates.

Features that matter on site

• Counters and tags. Unlimited counters, each with tags that keep their own value, step, target, color, barcode/QR value and location — a natural fit for area-by-material counting.
• Barcode and QR. Scan a label with the camera or type the code, so racks, bins and assets match their digital tags.
• Targets with alerts. Count up or down to a goal, with optional sound or vibration, auto-reset and auto-lock.
• Volume-button counting. Count with the volume keys, also with the screen locked, which helps with gloves on. Off by default; keys can be remapped.
• Photos and notes. Up to six photos per tag with a markup editor, and notes on count events for exceptions.
• Location. GPS, map pin or typed address for multi-site work.
• History and dashboard. Every count logged with a time; dashboard with per-tag progress and charts.
• Exports and backup. CSV, Excel (XLSX) and HTML with embedded photos; ZIP backup with photos and import with duplicate handling.
• Works offline. All counting works without signal — useful in basements and new structures.
• Lock and trash. Lock counters against accidental taps; restore deleted counters from the trash.
