Use cases

For a number you can act on.

Countdat is for small teams and operators who need a number they can act on, without building an app for it. The counter knows the subject; the product does not.

A team at work

Coffees, visitors, deliveries, incidents

Send the tap link to the whole team. Each coffee, guest or parcel is one tap on a phone - or one sentence, typed or said.

What's the busiest hour?
How many this week?
Coffee Count: 7 October, with 9 coffees.

What your systems report on a schedule

A read-only job pulls rows from your own MySQL database every hour. An alert tells the on-call list when a line is crossed.

Which table is closest to full?
What changed since the last check?
Key Headroom: orders.id, at 71% used.

Sales, bookings, complaints

Import the files you already have - CSV, spreadsheets, emails, PDFs, even photos of documents. Every import is previewed first.

Which day sells best?
What's different this month?
An answer page with the number, what it means and the chart that shows it.

Anyone sharing a count

A link people tap

Choose who may tap - anyone with the link, or only signed-in people. People are asked before anything about them is recorded.

Who tapped most?
Is it going up?
Share the answer as a link, or publish a fixed version to cite.

Where it fits

Counts, answers, watches and acts.

Countdat is not for making things. It is not a spreadsheet grid, a document editor or a photo tool. If the question is "how many", "when", "which" or "is it changing", it belongs in a counter.

Counts

Taps, sentences, forms, files and jobs.

Answers

Plain-English questions, written as pages.

Watches

Alerts that tell a notify list.

Acts

Buttons that close, clear or correct a row.

What would you count?

Describe it in a sentence and Countdat designs the counter with you.
