Counter AppCounter App for Event Planners
Count attendees by door and ticket type, track session and booth traffic, and reconcile event kit at setup and teardown from your Android phone, offline.
Intro
Event days are full of numbers that need to be right at a specific moment: the final headcount for the kitchen, the capacity at the door, the chairs going back on the truck. Counter App — Tally & Clicker, by GiveMeMood, lets planners split those counts by door, ticket type, room or item, set targets that alert when reached, and count with the phone's volume keys without looking at the screen. Every tap is logged with a time, and the results export to CSV, Excel or an HTML report. 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.

Features that matter on event day
- Tags with targets. A tag per door, ticket type or item, each with its own target, sound or vibration alert, auto-lock and auto-reset.
- Volume-button counting. Count in the background and on the lock screen; remap keys to add or subtract, with per-key sound and vibration. Off by default; some phones may still show the volume bar.
- Lock-screen notification. −step / +step / Stop without unlocking.
- Single, List and Grid views. One big tag at a single door, or every ticket type at once.
- Timed history and notes. Every count has a time; notes explain the exceptions.
- Dashboard. Per-tag progress, an activity bar chart of arrivals and a pie chart of the mix.
- Photos. Up to six per tag with an annotation editor — useful for damage and deliveries.
- Exports and backups. CSV, Excel (XLSX) and HTML with embedded photos; ZIP backups to combine several volunteers' phones.
- Offline. All counting works without venue Wi-Fi or mobile signal.
