Quick answer
Inventory Stock Counter is a free online counter that runs in your web browser. Open the page, then tap the screen or press the space bar once for each item to keep a running total while warehouse stock takes. The number is saved on your device, so it survives a reload or a closed tab, and it works with no internet connection once the page has loaded.
- Definition: Inventory Stock Counter
- An inventory stock counter is a counting tool for warehouse stock takes, small business inventory and retail shelf counting. You tap once per item and the tool keeps the total, so you do not have to hold the number in your head.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the inventory stock counter cost?
It is free. There is no paid tier and no account, so you can count stock items and skus as often as you need. The count itself is kept in your own browser rather than on our servers, so warehouse stock takes stays private to your device.
Does the inventory stock counter work offline?
Yes. Install it once from your browser menu ("Add to Home Screen" on iOS, "Install app" on Chrome) and it keeps working with no signal — useful when you are small business inventory somewhere with poor reception.
Will I lose my stock items and skus count if the tab closes?
No. Every tap is saved to your device straight away, so locking your phone mid-session or reopening the browser later leaves the stock items and skus total exactly where you left it. It changes only when you change it or reset it.
Can I set a target for stock items and skus?
Yes. Set a maximum in settings and the counter signals when you hit it — handy for fixed goals such as end-of-month inventory audit.

Your count survives real life
Totals are saved on your device as you go, so a locked screen, a closed tab, or a lost signal does not reset anything.
