A lot of small businesses could benefit from knowing how many people actually walk through the door, but buying and installing a dedicated people-counting system doesn’t always make sense.

That’s why I’ve been building PeopleCounter.app.
You can use a phone, tablet, computer, or webcam to start tracking visitors and keep the data organized in one dashboard.

What I think gets overlooked is that even basic traffic data can answer some useful questions:
• Are Saturdays actually busier than Fridays?
• What hours are we getting the most visitors?
• Did that promotion bring in more people?
• Are we getting busier without seeing the same increase in sales?

I’m trying to make this accessible for smaller retailers, churches, events, museums, and other organizations that just want a simple place to start.

There’s a free version at PeopleCounter.app.

Would be interested to hear what other metrics you’d want alongside the visitor count.

I built a free people counter because most counting software feels like overkill.

PeopleCounter.app lets you track visitors from your phone, tablet, computer, or webcam and see the results in a simple dashboard.

No dedicated hardware required to get started.

I’m curious what people are actually using visitor counts for beyond traditional retail. Churches? Events? Museums? Gyms? Libraries?

If you track foot traffic or attendance somewhere, what metrics would actually be useful to you?

I’m curious how other bar owners are tracking daily visits.

Pen and paper
Manual clickers
Security cameras
AI camera systems
Door sensors
POS estimates (which obviously miss everyone who doesn’t buy)

The biggest surprise for me is how many businesses still have no idea how many people actually walk through their doors each day.

What People Counter App are you using?

I created PeopleCounter.app for businesses that need a simple way to track customers, guests, or visitors without purchasing an expensive counting system.

You can use a phone, tablet, computer, webcam, or handheld clicker to record entries and exits. The dashboard lets you monitor occupancy, review traffic trends, and export your data.

It can be used by retail stores, bars, restaurants, museums, churches, events, and other venues.

The basic account is free, and I would appreciate any feedback from people who regularly track visitor traffic or occupancy.
