People Counter

Need to count how many people are in a room, at an event, or entering a store? People Counter turns your iPhone into a simple tally counter. Tap plus when someone walks in, tap minus when they leave, and the running total is always on screen.

When Do You Need a People Counter?

Store capacity limits — Many stores need to track how many customers are inside at any given time, especially during busy periods or when local regulations set maximum occupancy.

Event attendance — Conference organizers, church administrators, and party hosts use headcounts to track how many people showed up.

Classroom or meeting headcounts — Teachers, HR staff, and meeting organizers who need a quick count of who is present.

Venue door management — Bouncers, ushers, and door staff tracking the flow of people in and out.

Surveys and research — Anyone doing fieldwork who needs to count occurrences of something.

How It Works

The app shows a large number in the center of the screen. Two large buttons — plus and minus — are easy to tap even when you are not looking directly at the phone. That is the entire interface. No setup, no configuration, no learning curve.
