incr

A minimalist counter

Track anything you accumulate — click to increment

About

incr is a minimalist, self-hosted counter. Pick something you want to accumulate — books, workouts, anything — set a starting value, then click the number to count up.

It features a distinctive LED-style digital display and nothing else.

Features

• LED-style display — large red digital counter
• Click to increment — click the number to add to it
• Set a value directly — for when you need to add more than one
• Self-hosted — your data stays on your server

Tech Stack

• Backend: Laravel 13 (PHP 8.3+) with MySQL
• Frontend: Livewire 4 with Blade
• Styling: Tailwind CSS 4
• Deployment: Docker / Podman with multi-stage builds
