One device, one room, one honest number. Free, offline, no account, tonight. Venue Tier coming soon to support multi-door, multi-device, and integrated reporting.
freeOne door will always be free. Guaranteed. When you're ready to count more doors, we got you.
offlineCounts live on the phone in an append-only ledger. A basement door with zero signal still counts.
no accountOpen the app and count. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to sign in to.
privateYour numbers never leave the device. Proven, not promised: see below.
one honest numberThe total is derived from the ledger and out disables at zero, so the count can never go negative.
a night at the door
set up in a minute. count all night.
01
set up
Name the night, set the hours and the capacity, add a split if you need one.
Not sure of the cap yet? Start anyway and set it later.
02
count
Two slabs: in and out.
One tap, one person, all night.
03
watch the ring
The ring shows count of capacity and sweeps green to red as the room fills.
04
end the night
Ending is final and one confirm away.
The night lands in your saved history and you drop straight into its report.
05
keep the record
Every ended night lands in your history: final occupancy, peak, total counted in, busiest window.
split counting
one line, two tallies.
Split a single counting stream into two labels that can never overlap: Under 21 · 21+, or GA · VIP. The running tally sits inside each in button, so the compliance breakdown happens while you count, not after.
One stream, two labels, zero double counting. The split locks with the rest of the night's structure after the first accepted tap, so a mid-night change can never corrupt the ledger.
where this goes
multi-door and multi-device, in sync.
the reality of scale
larger venues get complicated.
Rotating staff on multiple entrances.
Tracking distinct zones and dimensions (GA/VIP).
Wi-fi dead zones.
Hardware costs.
Making sense of labor changes driven by data.
the venue tier solution
control the whole room.
Create specific entrances and tally areas, choosing exactly how they roll up into your live capacity count. If the signal drops, offline queueing ensures no tap is lost, syncing instantly when you're back online.
One number, live on every device, that you can stand behind when the fire marshal asks.
the early deal
get in early. keep it free.
The venue tier, multi-device counting plus the advanced admin options, will be a monthly service.
Here's the deal: count your one door tonight, get comfortable with it, and tell us what your room actually needs.
Every change we ship because you asked for it earns you a month of the venue tier, free. It stacks. Keep telling us what's missing, and every change we ship earns another free month.
We want this whole platform to be collaborative: users and teams who make it better for everyone get rewarded for it.

targeting pilot
A venue tier is built behind the free counter and staged dark. None of it is switched on yet, none of it is usable yet, and none of it touches the free counter.
the venue tier · several doors counting into one shared org ledger, every device converging on one live total
counting through a signal drop · over wi-fi or cellular, taps queue on the device when the signal goes, then verify and fold into the shared total the moment it returns
venue SSO sign-in · Apple, Google, email sign-in
count ownership and handover · a door belongs to one person, released and picked up cleanly when someone steps away
capacity and slowdown alerts · pushed when the room fills, and when the line stops moving
self-serve venue creation behind a server kill-switch
dual mode · a loud venue mode beside personal counting, which stays local and free forever
bring your counts with you · the nights you counted here carry into vybesync when your room grows into it
the console behind it all · the count view of vybemanager, entering beta testing now. see vybemanager→

On the roadmap, after pilot.
event templates for recurring nights
data-egress governance on the paid plan
Personal counting stays local and free forever. The venue tier only ever widens access, it never moves your data.
