One live total
Door and desk tap the same counter. No radios, no clipboard merge at the end.
Survives the phone
Basic apps often keep the number only on that device. SnapCount keeps the count in the session/cloud so a lost phone doesn't end the night.
Invite without an install wall
Share a link/QR; teammates join on web or iPhone. Guest proves sync tonight (up to 10 devices).
Export when the count matters
Pro adds saved counters, roles, CSV/JSON export, and signed increment/decrement webhooks.

Frequently asked questions
Why not a free App Store counter?
A free App Store tally is enough for one person, one phone, and a one-off count, even if it shows ads and cannot export. Those apps usually keep the count only on that device. Use SnapCount when a door and a desk need the same live total.
Is there a free way to try multi-device sync?
Yes. Start a free Guest count with no account. Guest proves live sync for 1 hour, stays open while active up to 4 hours, on up to 10 devices, on iPhone and web.
Do I need to install an app?
No. Share a link or QR. Teammates join on web or iPhone. SnapCount has no Android app.
