About

Gate Counter

Features
Read full description

Count people in real time and always know how many are inside – at one entrance or ten, with a simple people counter or a named guest list. Gate Counter turns your phone into a people counter built for a real door: a huge button for every person who comes in, a smaller one for exits, and a live total you can read at a glance, even in the dark. REAL-TIME PEOPLE COUNTING One tap for every person who walks in, one for every person who leaves. The number inside updates instantly, undo fixes a wrong tap, and the peak of the event is recorded on its own. EVERY ENTRANCE, ONE LIVE TOTAL Several doors, several phones, one event. Each device counts its own gate and the totals add up live on every screen. Invite your team with a code or a QR code, approve who joins, and move people from one gate to another by dragging them on the gate board. NAMED GUEST LIST Import your list from a photo of a printed sheet or by pasting text: the names are recognised automatically. At the door, search for a name and check the guest in together with their plus-ones. Anyone not on the list can be added on the spot. The list stays in sync across every gate, so nobody gets in twice. CAPACITY AT A GLANCE Set the authorised capacity and always see how many places are left. The dial changes colour and says it in words at 50%, 80% and 100%, and asks for confirmation before counting anyone over the limit. COUNT WHAT MATTERS TO YOU Guests, staff, VIPs, photographers, artists: create the categories you need, each with its own icon and colour. Staff can stay out of the capacity count. ATTENDANCE CHARTS AND PDF REPORTS Follow attendance throughout the event, gate by gate, with the peak you actually reached. At the end, export a PDF report – counts and charts, or the full guest list with check-in time, gate and operator – ready to hand to your client or keep on file. MADE FOR THE DOOR Big buttons you can read at arm's length, a touch lock for when the phone is in your pocket, and a screen that stays on while you count. A finished event stays finished: the final figure cannot change afterwards. For clubs and bars, parties and private events, festivals, fairs, conferences and any venue that needs to know how many people are inside. Counting works even without a connection. Available in English and Italian. GATE COUNTER PRO - SUBSCRIPTION Monthly or yearly: same thing, different rhythm of payment.

The price for your country is shown in the app before you buy, and is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; you can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.
