What it is
Note Counter is a small web app that adds up the value of physical cash. You type how many notes and coins you have of each denomination, and the running total updates as you go. It supports five built-in currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, INR, AED) plus any custom currency you create.
It is built and maintained by Yash Patil as a side project, released under the MIT license, and runs entirely in your browser. There are no accounts, no ads, and nothing about the amounts you count is uploaded.
