Foot Traffic Counter

A fast and accurate tool for recording real-world foot traffic with clear charts and research-ready data exports.

Easy for anyone. Powerful for professionals.

You do not need to be a researcher to use Foot Traffic Counter. The interface is simple and fast so you can record observations in real time with only a few taps.

At the same time, the app produces structured, research-friendly datasets that are ready for deeper analysis in professional tools.

This makes the app useful for people who want to study:

  • retail and high street foot traffic
  • marketing and behavioural patterns
  • public space activity
  • event and exhibition attendance
  • gallery and museum engagement
  • transport and movement flow
  • academic and commercial research projects

Each observation session is automatically organised, timestamped, and stored locally until you choose to export it.


Clear charts that help you see patterns immediately.

Foot Traffic Counter provides built-in charts and summaries that help you understand what you have recorded. The app can show:

  • gender and age distribution
  • solo, pair, family and group behaviour
  • movement direction and engagement
  • pace and mobility
  • purpose such as commuter, shopper, tourist, local or worker
  • device use and presence of pets
  • any custom categories you create

Charts hide themselves when there is not enough data to be meaningful so the visuals remain clean and easy to read.


Export your data to any analysis workflow.

Foot Traffic Counter creates several export formats depending on your needs.

Standard CSV
A clean human readable CSV that works with Excel, Google Sheets and Numbers.

JSON report
A structured JSON file for technical workflows and automation.

Complete folder export
A complete set of files including CSV, JSON and a media folder containing photos, videos and audio recordings.

Research export
A professional grade ZIP containing sessions.csv, observations.csv, codebook.csv, media.csv and a media folder with filenames that match observation IDs.

The exported data is ready for tools such as:

  • Excel
  • Google Sheets
  • Numbers
  • Tableau
  • Power BI
  • Looker Studio
  • SPSS
  • Stata
  • R
  • Python and Pandas
  • Jupyter notebooks
  • any platform that accepts CSV or JSON

The app also distinguishes between fields that are truly unknown and fields that were not recorded. This gives researchers clean and accurate data with proper missing value semantics.


Capture context with photos, video and audio.

When you record an observation you can also attach:

  • a photo
  • a short video
  • an audio note

Media files are stored at high quality and linked directly to the observation. In research exports the filenames match the observation ID so the entire dataset remains fully traceable.


Full privacy and offline use.

Foot Traffic Counter works offline and stores all data on your device. The app does not create accounts. It does not upload your observations. It does not share or sell data.

You decide when to export and where the files go.


Simple enough for anyone. Powerful enough for data professionals.

Foot Traffic Counter helps you understand how people move, behave and interact in real spaces. It is a practical tool for everyday field observation and a strong foundation for deeper analysis in professional environments.

Record what you see. Understand the pattern. Export it anywhere you want.
