Quick answer
Rep 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 bench press, squat, deadlift reps. 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: Rep Counter
- A rep counter is a counting tool for bench press, squat, deadlift reps, push-ups, pull-ups, dips and bicep curls, rows, presses. You tap once per item and the tool keeps the total, so you do not have to hold the number in your head.

About the Rep Counter
A rep counter earns its place on the days when the plan is complicated: pyramids, drop sets, EMOMs, anything where the number changes between sets. Those are exactly the sessions where mental counting fails, because you are tracking a rep number and a set number and a rest clock at the same time. Tapping once per rep and letting the target alert handle the cutoff leaves you with one thing to think about instead of three..

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the rep counter work?
Open the page, then tap anywhere on the screen for each rep. The number is huge so you can see it from across the gym, and the tap zone covers the whole screen so it works with chalk or sweaty hands.
Can I set a goal for each set?
Yes. Set a max limit (8, 10, 12, etc.) and the counter signals you the moment you hit your target rep — useful for AMRAPs and timed sets.
Does it work without internet at the gym?
Yes. Install SimpleCounter as a PWA on your phone and it works 100% offline — perfect for basement gyms or commercial gyms with bad wifi.
Can I count reps for multiple exercises in one workout?
Yes. Create separate counters for each exercise (squat, bench, row) and switch between them between sets — counts save automatically.
Is the rep counter really free?
Yes, completely free. No signup, no premium tier. Just open and start counting.
