No today pill
Members online rise and fall, so the device leaves out a daily gain.
NEXT MILESTONE
A bar to the next round number (1, 2 or 5 followed by zeros), with how far along you are.
Circle and dot
The circle empties until the next check. The dot is green while the number is live, amber while it shows the last reading, red when something needs a look.

Checks: Every 60 seconds.

FAQ

Questions.

Does it show total members or only online?

Members online right now. That is what Discord's public widget offers without a bot, so there is nothing to install on your server.

It says not found. What should I check?

That the server widget is on (Server Settings, Widget) and that you typed the long numeric server ID, not the server name or an invite link.

Can I try it here?

Yes. Type your server ID into See your count below; it reads the same widget the device does.

Does it need my Discord password?

No. Discord members online are public, so it needs only the server ID.

Your Discord members online, all day.
