What is an inventory counter?

An inventory counter tallies stock during a count, item by item or location by location. Tapsle gives each item, shelf or site its own counter, lets you count in cases, and keeps a note of where and when you counted.

Count by 1, 10, 12 or any case size
One counter per item or location
A note for shelf, date and counter name
Export to a spreadsheet when done

Every location, one total

Three warehouses, counted separately. One number at the end.

Give each location its own counter and let the people there count independently. With Plus, share the counters and the organisation total adds itself up.

Running a stock take with Tapsle

Split the count by location, with one person and one counter per aisle or room. Counting in cases for full boxes and ones for loose stock keeps it fast and accurate. Write the date and the counter’s name in the note so the number has context later.

Keeping counts accurate

Count each location twice with two people and compare the counters. A mistaken tap is one tap on minus, and lock stops a finished count from being changed by accident.

Inventory counter or clipboard and pen?

A clipboard is familiar. A counter adds up for you and exports the result.

Inventory counter questions

Can I count in cases or boxes?

Yes. Set the step on a counter to your case size, for example 12, and each tap adds 12. Minus takes the same amount away.

Can several people count at the same time?

Yes. Each person can keep their own counter per location. With Tapsle Plus, share counter links so all locations add up to one total.

How do I get the counts into a spreadsheet?

Export all counters as a file from Account, or connect Google Sheets with Plus so every counting session is added as a row with its date and total.

Is Tapsle free?

Yes. Unlimited counters, targets, steps, notes, lock, focus mode, pop out and export are free, with no account. Free includes up to 5 groups and 1 counter on a timer. Tapsle Plus adds sync, backups, longer history, shared counters and integrations, for $2.99 a month or $25.99 a year.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Once Tapsle has loaded, counting keeps working with no connection, and you can install it on your phone or computer like an app. Your counts are saved on your device as you go.

Can I export my counters?

Yes, free. Export saves every counter to one file, and Import brings them back on any device. Your counts belong to you.

Can I keep the counter on screen while I work in a spreadsheet?

Yes, on Chrome and Edge on a computer. Choose Pop out and the counter floats above your other windows, with +1 and −1 inside it. Phones and Safari do not support this, so the button only appears where it works.

Is my data private?

Yes. Your counters stay on your device. There is no account, and nothing is sent to us unless you turn on sync with Tapsle Plus.

What is the difference between Free and Plus?

Free is the counter: unlimited counters, up to 5 groups, 1 timer counter, targets, offline use, export and 7 days of history. Plus is memory: sync across up to 5 devices, nightly backups, 60 days of history with charts, shared counter links, unlimited groups and timers, and integrations. Cancelling Plus never removes a counter.
