Guest Mode: count together with no account
A free live count anyone can join by link or QR code. It proves the sync before anyone signs up.

What a free session includes
| Limit | Free session |
|---|---|
| Account needed | No |
| Length | Starts at 1 hour. Counting with under 30 minutes left extends it to an hour from then. |
| Longest session | 4 hours from when it started |
| Devices counting | Up to 10. Watch-only screens do not take a slot. |
| Counters | 3 in a standard session or scoreboard. More in capacity mode and template sessions. |
A session counts toward the free limits when it takes its first count, not when it is opened, so opening a link and leaving uses nothing. The limits are shown in the product when you reach them.
The organizer and everyone else
The browser that starts the session is its organizer. Only the organizer adds or renames counters, opens the share sheet's embed and OBS options, and saves the session. Everyone who joins by link can count.
Session modes
- Standard: up to 3 counters everyone taps.
- Event capacity: one QR code and gate link per gate, plus a watch-only link for managers and screens.
- Scoreboard: team scoring links for each scorer, and a Big screen view for a TV or projector.
Starting from a template sets up the counters for a job, like store traffic and stock-outs, in one tap.
When a session ends
When time runs out the bar shows Session expired and counting stops on every phone. People who joined by link are asked to get a new link from the organizer.
The organizer can still save the count into a free account for 24 hours after it ends. Read A free live count ended if you hit a limit mid-count.
