Do your stock-take with a camera, not a clipboard

Walk your stock with a phone: photograph a shelf or stack, the AI counts it in seconds, you add the number to the tally sheet with a label ("Aisle 3 — 500ml cola"), and move on. At the end, export the whole session as a CSV for your spreadsheet or inventory system.

A count that takes a few minutes per shelf by hand takes seconds per photo — and the marked image lets anyone re-verify a number later without recounting. Most of the saving comes from never counting the same shelf twice.

Any repeated item you can photograph: packets, bottles, boxes, tins, pills, parts, produce. For mixed shelves, mark 1–3 examples of the product you're counting and the AI ignores everything else.

Yes — counting photos is free with no signup for everyday use. Photos are uploaded only to process and are deleted automatically afterwards; we never keep or share them.

Auto picks the best engine automatically and is the safest default for a stock-take. Similar items is built for dense piles of one repeated product — packets, bottles, cans — even when they touch or overlap. Detect objects finds and boxes distinct, separated items, which suits a shelf with a few spaced-out products rather than a packed crate.

Tap Mark example items, drag a box around 1-3 examples of the exact product you want counted, then tap Done marking. The counter uses those examples to ignore everything else on the shelf — other brands, empty space, price tags — so a mixed display counts only the SKU you're auditing.

Sensitivity controls how aggressively the detector flags borderline items — raise it when small, faint or partly-hidden items at the back of a shelf are being missed, and lower it if the count is inflated by shadows or reflections being counted as items. It's hidden in Similar items mode since that engine's example markers already tune detection.

Open Advanced and adjust Ignore small detections — raising it toward Large only filters out small specks, shadows and clutter below a size threshold so only genuine items are tallied. It's most useful in Auto or Detect objects mode when the shelf has a lot of visual noise.

Switch the mode toggle from Single photo to Bulk audit, upload photos of every shelf or crate, and tap Count — each photo is counted and automatically added as a labeled row in the Tally sheet, with a grand total shown at the end. This is the fastest way to do a full-store or warehouse stock-take in one session instead of exporting after each photo.

Set the counting mode to Similar items, mark 1-3 examples of the exact product so the AI locks onto that SKU, and switch the Result overlay to dots or heatmap to visually verify the count against the photo before adding it to your tally. Sensitivity and Ignore small detections are hidden in this mode since the exemplar markers already do that tuning for you.

Result overlay controls how counted items are marked on the output image so you can visually double-check the total: Dots only places a marker on every counted item, Heatmap only shades dense areas by concentration, and Auto (the default) combines both. It's purely a visualization choice — it doesn't change the count itself — and is hidden in Distinct objects mode, which already draws a box around each item.

Yes. Open the Tally panel and tap Save to account to store the current tally sheet, then reopen it anytime from Saved stock-takes. Tap Copy team link to generate a read-only link anyone on your team can open to view the same stock-take without signing in — useful for handing a completed count to a manager or head office.

The Tally panel's Export CSV button is free and gives you a spreadsheet-ready file of every counted row and its total. PDF report is a Premium feature that generates a formatted, shareable stock-take document with your rows, counts and timestamps laid out for printing or emailing — use it when you need a polished document rather than raw data.

Yes. Every row in the Tally sheet has an editable Label field and a Count field you can click into and change directly, so a typo or a manual correction doesn't require re-uploading or re-counting the photo. To wipe the whole sheet and start a fresh stock-take instead of removing rows one at a time, use the Clear tally button next to Export CSV.

Yes. The upload screen has a Take a photo button that opens your phone's rear camera directly, instead of sending you to your photo library like the regular upload area. It's built for walking the stockroom shelf by shelf, since snapping a photo on the spot is faster than saving it first and then browsing to find it.
