How It Works

Getting started with Count Collab takes less than a minute. Follow these four simple steps to create your first shared counter and start collaborating in real time.

1

Create a Counter

Click "Create a Counter" and give it a name and optional description. Choose your visibility setting: public (anyone can view and increment), public read-only (anyone views, only members increment), or private (members-only access). No account required for public counters — start counting in seconds.

2

Share the Link

Every counter gets a unique URL you can share with anyone. Copy the link and send it via email, messaging apps, or social media. For private counters, a secure share token is included in the link so recipients can access it without needing an account. No app downloads, no setup — just click and count.

3

Count Together in Real Time

Everyone with the link can increment or decrement the counter. Every update syncs instantly via WebSocket — all participants see changes the moment they happen. No manual refresh, no delays. The activity log shows who changed what and when, and sparkline trend charts visualize counter activity at a glance.

4

Organize with Dashboards

As you create more counters, group them into dashboards for a clear, organized overview. Drag and drop to reorder, add or remove counters anytime, and share the dashboard link with your team. Dashboards support member roles too, so you can control who can edit the layout.
