A view counter badge for your GitHub README
Paste one Markdown image into your README. Every view increments the counter and the badge always shows the latest number.
Live demo, running on CountJar.
Three styles
flat, social and big — pick the one that fits your profile.
Your colours
Named colours or any hex value for both the label and the number.
Read-only mode
Show a count without incrementing it with ?readonly=1.
Always fresh
Sent with no-cache headers so GitHub's image proxy doesn't freeze it.
Set it up in three steps
- 1
Sign in with your phone
We text you a 6-digit code. Your account and first workspace are ready right after.
- 2
Create a counter
Pick a name and a type: count, like, poll or rating. Make it public or private.
- 3
Paste the snippet
Copy the widget, badge or API call from the counter's Embed tab.
Questions
Does it work on GitHub?
Yes. Badges are plain SVG images, so they work in any Markdown renderer, Notion and docs sites.
