🔒 Privacy

Numbers, the heading and settings are stored only in this browser (localStorage) and are never sent to a server. Syncing with the display window uses BroadcastChannel inside your browser and never goes over the internet. Spoken announcements use your browser's built-in Web Speech API; depending on the browser and OS, the announcement text may be processed by that vendor's speech service.

❓ FAQ

How do I separate the customer screen from the control screen?

Connect your computer to the projector or TV and set the display to extend. Press "Open display" at the top to open the customer screen in a new tab, drag that tab out into its own window, move it to the projector and go fullscreen (F key). When you press Next on the control screen you kept, the display changes at the same time. Syncing only works within the same browser on the same computer.

Can I control it from another phone or tablet?

No. This tool never sends your numbers to a server, so it only syncs between tabs and windows of the same browser on the same device. To run everything on one screen, use single-screen mode: the controls are hidden, the display fills the screen, and small Back and Next buttons stay at the bottom left (on the pickup board, each number also keeps its ×). Press the button at the bottom right or Esc to bring the controls back.

Why is there no sound or announcement?

Browsers don't allow sound until you've interacted with the page, so the first press of Next (or any button) enables it. Also check the volume and the mute button. Announcements use the browser's speech feature, so browsers without it — or devices without a voice for that language — play the chime only. Sound and speech come from the window you operated.

Will the numbers be lost if the page reloads?

No. The current number, the pickup list, the called history and your settings are saved in the browser, so reopening the page on the same device and browser picks up where you left off. To start over, press "Reset numbers" twice. This clears the current number, the pickup list and the called history (Back can't undo it); color, sound and heading settings are kept.

How does the pickup board work?

Choose "Pickup board" under Display style in Settings. Enter a number and press Call (or press Next) and it's added to the front of the list. Once the order is handed over, remove it with its ×. Removed one by mistake? Press Back to restore it. The list holds up to 10 numbers: when it overflows, the oldest number is taken off the list with a notice each time (press Back right away to undo). Numbers called while in "One big number" also join the list and the newest 10 are kept (no notice is shown in that style when one is taken off). The Called row is kept separately from the list: it shows the numbers you've called, newest first, leaving out whatever is shown large on screen (the current number in "One big number", the numbers on the list on the pickup board).

Can I use a keyboard or a presentation clicker?

Yes. → / Space / PageDown calls the next number, ← / PageUp goes back, R calls again and F toggles fullscreen. Type a number and press Enter to call it. Clickers that send PageDown / PageUp work even while the display window is in front.

Queue Number Display

A free queue number display that shows the number being called in huge digits on a big screen. Press Next to advance and a ding-dong chime plays, optionally followed by a spoken announcement. Supports a pickup board that lists up to 10 ready orders, prefixes like A- and counter names, a recently-called list, custom text and background colors and a heading for your shop name. Open the customer display in a separate window on the same computer, put it on a projector or TV, and it stays in sync with your control screen. Numbers survive a page reload.

Display and control screens

  • → / Space / PageDown for the next number
  • ← / PageUp to go back
  • Type a number and press Enter to call it
  • R to call the current number again
  • F for fullscreen, Esc closes settings or single-screen mode
  • → ← R F also work in the display window (handy with a presentation clicker)
