People & Occupancy Counter
Track manual entries, exits, current occupancy, capacity, and peak attendance for events, rooms, venues, doors, queues, and visitor checks. Sessions stay on this device and continue offline after the first visit.

Manual entry and exit
What is a people counter?
A people counter records how many people enter, leave, or are currently in a space. CountMetrik is a manual people counter: each deliberate Entry or Exit updates the occupancy tally. It does not use cameras, sensors, face recognition, or automatic detection. Use it when you need a private, local count at a door, event, room, queue, or venue.
Entries, exits, and current occupancy
A successful Entry increases both current occupancy and total entries. A successful Exit lowers current occupancy and increases total exits; at zero occupancy, Exit does not record another departure. Undo restores the preceding state. Correct current occupancy sets the live number without adding an entry or exit event. If the corrected value exceeds the previous peak, Peak also increases.
Capacity and remaining space
Set an optional maximum capacity to see remaining space. When the limit is reached, another Entry is blocked and the tool clearly says Capacity reached.
Peak occupancy
Peak is the highest confirmed occupancy reached in the active session, including a higher value entered through Correct current occupancy. An exit or a lower correction does not reduce it. Undo restores the peak saved before the operation being reversed.
Example: entries, occupancy, and a correction
Start a fresh example session with no capacity limit. First record 10 entries and then 3 exits. The table separates recorded movements from the number currently inside.
| Action | Current occupancy | Total entries | Total exits | Peak |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Start session | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Record 10 entries | 10 | 10 | 0 | 10 |
| Record 3 exits | 7 | 10 | 3 | 10 |
| Correct current occupancy to 12 | 12 | 10 | 3 | 12 |
| Immediately undo that correction | 7 | 10 | 3 | 10 |
After a manual correction, current occupancy does not have to equal entries minus exits: the correction changes the confirmed headcount without inventing missing movement records. A returning visitor creates another entry event, so total entries is not a count of unique people. Finish Session archives the active totals; Reset Session starts over without creating that archive.
Sessions and history
Finish a session to archive its duration, entries, exits, peak, capacity, and final occupancy. Reset starts the current session over without creating an archive. Export finished sessions as CSV or the full People workspace as JSON.
Offline use and privacy
People session data is stored locally in this browser. After a successful visit, the page can continue counting offline. It is not a safety-critical or legally required occupancy system and should not be your only record where an error could cause harm.
FAQ
What is the difference between entries, exits, and current occupancy?
Entries count people coming in, exits count people leaving, and current occupancy is the number currently inside.
What is the difference between Peak Occupancy and Total Entries?
Total Entries counts successful Entry actions. Peak Occupancy is the highest confirmed number inside during the session, including a higher manual correction. Exits and lower corrections do not reduce Peak; Undo restores the earlier state of the operation it reverses.
What should I do if I missed someone or tapped the wrong button?
Use Undo when the mistaken Entry or Exit is the latest operation. Otherwise open Settings and use Correct current occupancy to set the current value without inventing a new entry or exit.
Why does correcting current occupancy not change Entries or Exits?
A correction updates the confirmed number inside without claiming that an entry or exit was recorded. Entries and Exits therefore stay unchanged. Peak also increases if the corrected occupancy exceeds the previous peak.
What happens when the maximum capacity is reached?
Entry is blocked at the configured capacity and the tool shows Capacity reached. Exit remains available, so the next available space is reflected in current occupancy.
What is the difference between Finish Session and Reset Session?
Finish Session archives the active totals and starts a new session. Reset Session clears the active occupancy, entry, exit, and peak values without creating an archive; the name and capacity remain.
