Multi Counter

Name several counters, compare them side by side in one daily record, and export the local comparison.

Privacy: your files never leave your device. All processing happens locally in your browser.

How to use

  1. 1.Rename the starting counters so each panel describes the value you want to compare, then add another counter only when needed.
  2. 2.Use Increase and Decrease in the matching panel; the combined total and each local-day value update together.
  3. 3.Review the daily comparison and export PNG or CSV if you want a private file outside this browser.

About Multi Counter

Multi Counter is a local browser workspace for comparing several named quantities at the same time. It begins with two counters and lets you add more when the task needs them. Give each counter a clear short name, such as North queue and South queue, then increase or decrease the values as events happen. The page shows each value in its own panel and also shows the combined total for the device's current local calendar day. This is a different product from opening several generic counter tabs: the values stay visible together, the names make their purpose clear, and the daily record keeps the comparison in one place.

Each named counter has a stable internal identifier. That detail matters when you rename a label, add a new comparison column, or remove an obsolete one. A rename changes the display name without assigning an older value to another counter. Removing a counter removes its stored values from the local comparison instead of leaving a hidden value attached to a recycled name. The page keeps at least one counter and permits up to twenty named counters, which is enough for an ordinary side-by-side check without turning a simple browser tool into a database. Increase and Decrease are bounded so a count cannot silently become negative or overflow.

Every value is tied to the local calendar date on your device. When a new local day begins, the visible panels start at zero while earlier nonzero days remain in Daily history. The combined total shown at the top is the sum of the named values for that day, not an unrelated lifetime score. This makes the tool useful for a manual split count, a small comparison exercise, a side-by-side inventory check, or another neutral multi-label task where the contrast between columns matters. It does not infer what a label means, collect sensor data, or claim that a user-entered number has been independently verified.

The comparison stays private. Counter names, values, and daily history are kept only in browser localStorage under this tool's key. There is no account, upload, shared board, cloud synchronization, API request, or cross-device merge. Clearing browser data removes the saved comparison, and another phone or computer has a separate empty record. If browser storage is disabled or full, the current page remains usable for the interaction that is open and displays that it cannot save history. That honest constraint is preferable to suggesting that an important comparison has been backed up when it has not.

Export PNG creates a 1080 by 1350 image with the Lizely mark, a combined total, and recent date rows. It deliberately includes no URL and omits user-entered counter names, reducing the chance that a shared image reveals private labels. Export CSV creates a Date column plus one column for each current counter name. The file has one row per saved local day and contains the corresponding side-by-side values, so it can be opened in a spreadsheet for a simple review. PNG and CSV are created directly by the browser with native canvas and Blob APIs. Nothing is sent to an export service.

Use Multi Counter when the user value comes from named side-by-side comparison. Use People Counter when entries and exits must remain directional and a capacity threshold is useful, Online Tally Counter for one general click value, or Daily Habit Counter for a preset label and streak. Add only the counters you need, name them clearly, change the value in the matching panel, and export the local daily comparison when you want a file outside this browser.

Frequently asked questions

How many named counters can I add?
The tool supports up to twenty named counters and keeps at least one counter available.
Will renaming a counter move its old values to another label?
No. Each counter keeps a stable internal identifier so a rename preserves its own values.
Are my counter names and values uploaded?
No. They stay only in this browser on this device unless you choose to export a local PNG or CSV file.
