People Counter

Record entries and exits separately, see the current count, and flag a user-set operational capacity threshold.

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

How to use

  1. 1.Optionally enter a whole-number capacity alert threshold for your own operational reminder.
  2. 2.Press Record entry or Record exit as movement happens; the net count cannot fall below zero.
  3. 3.Review entered, exited, and net totals by local date, then export PNG or CSV if you need a file outside the browser.

About People Counter

People Counter is a local browser tool for a simple manual flow: record an entry, record an exit, and see the current net number without losing the direction of the movement. The page keeps Entered and Exited totals separately for each local calendar day, then shows their net as Current people. This is more useful than a one-way click counter when the question is not merely how many taps happened, but how many people are currently represented by a manual record. The counter prevents an exit from taking the current count below zero, so an accidental extra exit cannot create a misleading negative occupancy.

You can optionally set a capacity alert threshold. When the current net count reaches or exceeds that user-selected number, the page displays a clear alert. The threshold is an operational reminder only. It is not a safety certification, a legal occupancy calculation, an access-control system, a fire-code determination, or a replacement for trained staff and site procedures. The tool has no camera, sensor, badge reader, location feed, or computer-vision model. It records the entries and exits that you manually choose to enter. This narrow scope makes its limits visible instead of pretending that a browser button can measure a real-world space automatically.

Each interaction is attached to the device's local calendar date. A count made near midnight stays on that local date rather than shifting because of a UTC boundary. When a new local day begins, the visible current count starts at zero and earlier nonzero days remain in Daily history. The history shows the entered total, exited total, and net total for each saved date. That separation helps identify whether a change came from arrivals or departures instead of leaving a single unexplained number. Use Record entry when someone is added to the manual count and Record exit when someone leaves. The exit button is disabled at zero, and the underlying logic also rejects a zero-floor exit if an interaction is repeated.

The product is private by design. State is stored only under this tool's local browser key. It is not posted to a server, connected to a sign-in, synchronized to another device, or used as an attendance database. Clearing browser data removes the history, and another browser begins with an independent empty record. If browser storage is unavailable, the page can still show an interaction in the current session and reports that it cannot retain the record. That is an important limitation for any operational count: this tool is a personal local aid, not a durable facility system.

Export PNG creates a 1080 by 1350 summary image with the Lizely mark, a total, and recent date rows. It includes no URL and omits the optional custom label. Export CSV creates a Date, Entered, Exited, and Net people file with one data row for every saved local date. Both exports are made in the browser with native canvas and Blob APIs. No count or export file is uploaded for processing. You can keep the files privately, open CSV in a spreadsheet, or discard them when the record is no longer useful.

Use People Counter when the distinct product need is two-way movement plus a manual capacity threshold. Use Online Tally Counter for a general repeated event, Multi Counter for several side-by-side labels, or Daily Habit Counter for a personal streak. Set a threshold only when it is useful as an internal reminder, record entries and exits as they happen, and treat the resulting number as the manual operational record it is.

Frequently asked questions

Does People Counter use a camera or AI to detect people?
No. It is a manual record only and does not use a camera, microphone, sensor, or AI model.
Is the capacity alert a safety or legal occupancy limit?
No. It is only a user-set operational reminder and is not a safety certification, code calculation, or access-control system.
Can the current people count go below zero?
No. The exit control is disabled at zero and the counter rejects an exit that would create a negative net count.
