Simple Inventory Tracking Without Excel
Many small teams use Excel or paper notes to track stock levels. This quickly leads to errors and outdated data, especially when multiple people need to update the same inventory.
CountTogether offers a simple alternative: a shared counter for every item. Multiple team members can update stock levels simultaneously, and everyone always sees the current count.
Real-World Examples
Office Supplies
A team tracks remaining printer paper packages, pens, or toner cartridges. When someone takes supplies, they update the counter instantly.
Warehouse Stock
A small shop tracks the quantity of specific products. Staff update counts as items are sold or restocked.
Tool Management
A team counts tools that have been checked out and returned. Always know how many are available and who has what.
Event Equipment
Organizers track distributed devices, badges, or materials at events. Keep count of what has been handed out and what is still available.
Why CountTogether?
No spreadsheet or complex software needed – just simple counters.
Multiple team members can update simultaneously without conflicts.
Ideal for small teams that need a lightweight inventory solution.
Real-time sync ensures everyone always sees the current stock level.
Compared to Alternatives
Excel spreadsheets and paper lists are still the most common inventory tracking methods for small teams. But they have major downsides: version conflicts, manual data entry, and no real-time updates. CountTogether eliminates these problems by giving your team a shared, always-up-to-date counter for each item – accessible from any device.

Getting started with CountTogether takes less than a minute. Follow these four simple steps to create your first shared counter and start collaborating in real-time.
Pick a Display Name
No account creation, no email verification, no password needed. Simply choose a display name and you are ready to go. CountTogether lets you start counting in seconds without any sign-up process.
Create a Shared Counter
Choose from three flexible counter types: an up/down counter for tracking quantities, a "Days Since" counter for milestones and streaks, or a countdown timer for upcoming events. Give your counter a name and you are all set.
Share the Invite Link
Invite friends, colleagues, or team members to join your counter. Share a direct invite link or let others scan a QR code – they can join instantly with a single tap, no app download or account required.
Stay in Sync in Real-Time
