Let the number earn attention

Motion for data that still reads instantly.

Use a kinetic counter for meaningful changes in score, scale, progress, or distance—not as perpetual dashboard noise. Every exported composition keeps one stable accessible value.

01

Three number treatments

Choose individual odometer cells, an open inline readout, or a framed editorial panel.

02

Art-directed rolling

Control count direction, duration, digit stagger, decimal precision, separators, prefix, and suffix.

03

CSS-only delivery

The final value is rendered up front, uses bounded DOM, and needs no timer or animation library.

Three-step workflow

How to use the Kinetic Counter studio

  1. Name the metric

    Enter the real value and the short label that gives it context.

  2. Set the cadence

    Choose the treatment and roll direction, then tune duration and digit stagger.

  3. Ship the component

    Copy a focused HTML/CSS fragment or download a standalone responsive document.

Questions, answered.

Does the counter calculate live data?

It creates the presentation layer for a chosen value. Connect your own data source before generating or adapt the exported value in your application.

Is the rolling value announced repeatedly?

No. The visual reels are hidden from assistive technology and the stable final metric is exposed once on the component.

What happens with reduced motion?

All reels render directly at their final positions without transition.

Can it count down?

Yes. Reverse mode changes both the digit order and the stagger direction for a deliberate countdown feel.
