Smart Head Counter
Read full descriptionHide full description
Smart Head Counter counts how many people are in a photo — privately on your device. Take a picture or choose one from your library to count people and review the result. Built for teachers, group leaders, camp and tour organizers, event staff and anyone who needs a convenient headcount. Always review and correct the count before relying on it. • Zoom and pan to inspect people and markers more closely. • Choose Edit markers to add a missed person or remove an extra marker, with Undo and Redo. • Save named counts locally and reopen the photo, markers and original/corrected totals later. • Set an expected count to compare totals. This does not identify which people are missing. • Organize saved photos by session. Add photo counts only when you choose to — the same person may appear in several photos. • Export a PDF or an annotated image, with an option to omit the photo from the PDF. • Counting runs on your device without an account, internet connection or tracking. Photos are shared only when you choose to export them. Start with a free month, with no automatic billing. Unlock everything forever with a single one-time purchase — no subscription.
