Put the chest counter on your phone in three steps
- Open chestsync.com in your phone's browser (Safari, Chrome or any other).
- Add it to your home screen. On iPhone, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. On Android in Chrome, open the ⋮ menu and choose Add to Home screen or Install app. The icon opens the counter full screen, like an app.
- Tap +1 after each chest. Prop the phone next to your TV, monitor or controller and tap between fights. Already counting in the game? Tap "Already counting in-game? Set your total" first and type your number.
The home-screen icon and the browser tab share the same saved count on most phones, but on some iPhones a home-screen shortcut keeps its own storage. Check that your total looks right the first time you open the icon; if it is empty, copy the backup code in the browser and restore it in the icon.
Counting while you play
The +1 button is large and sits under your total, so a thumb tap is enough. Tap after the chest opens, not before you reach it. For a vault or a room with several chests, count them in your head and add the batch with +5 or +10, then +1 for the rest. If you tap twice by mistake, Undo takes back the last addition, including a whole +5 or +10.
On a computer, Space adds one chest when you are not typing in a box, so a second monitor works too. Each player counts on their own device; use Save score card to share your number with the squad.
What the counter shows you
- Total, Today, This week, This visit and Best day, all counted from your taps.
- A goal grid for 100 to 2,000 chests, with how many are left.
- Your odds of this week's rewards and Pirate Shop Access, worked out from Epic's published drop rates (see Fortnite chest drop rates).
- A backup code you can copy and restore, and a score card image you can save.
What it cannot do
- No automatic counting. Epic offers no public way for websites to read chests opened, so every tracker we know of counts what you tap. The in-game number lives in Quests → Treasure Hunt (how to check how many chests you have opened).
- No sync. There is no account, so your phone and your computer keep separate counts unless you move the backup code.
- No keep-awake. Your screen may lock between chests. Set a longer auto-lock while you play.
- No offline install. It is a web page, not a store app. Open it with a connection; clearing your browser's site data erases the count, so keep the backup code.
Other Fortnite chest trackers
Two other trackers, ChestTally and Chest Tracker Fortnite, came up when people asked this question in November 2026. Both are good choices, and both also count by hand. Here is what their own pages said when we checked on November 14, 2026:
| ChestSync | ChestTally | Chest Tracker Fortnite | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it counts | You tap +1, +5, +10 | You tap per chest or type a total | You tap +1 Chest |
| Price | Free | Not stated on its page | Free |
| Login or Epic account | None | None | None |
| Install | Web page, can go on your home screen | Web page | Web page |
| Saved where | This browser; backup code to move it | This browser | This browser; JSON backup to move it |
| Stands out for | Goal grid, weekly reward odds, drop-rate calculator | "Keep screen on" option, seven-day log, pace | Milestones, Pirate Shop token calculator, chest guides |
If your phone keeps locking while you play, ChestTally's keep-screen-on option is a real advantage. Pick whichever you like; just keep using one, because their counts do not move between sites.
This season
Treasure Hunters runs from November 1, 2026 to December 5, 2026, according to VGC. See what this week's chests can drop on the Fortnite treasure chest rewards page, and before chasing a big number, read the 1,000 chests reward guide: Epic has not confirmed a reward for it.
Questions
Is there a Fortnite chest counter app for my phone?
Yes, as a web app. ChestSync runs in your phone browser and can be added to your home screen, where it opens like an app. There is no App Store or Google Play download.
Is the ChestSync chest counter free?
Yes. It is free, with no account, no login and nothing to install.
Does it count my Fortnite chests automatically?
No. ChestSync does not connect to your Epic account, so you tap +1 for each chest you open. To start from your in-game number, copy it from the Treasure Hunt quests into "Set your total".
Will my count be on my other phone or computer?
No. The count is saved only in the browser where you tap. To move it, copy the backup code on one device and restore it on the other.
Does it keep my phone screen on?
No. ChestSync does not stop your screen from locking. Raise your phone's auto-lock time while you play if it locks between chests.
How long is the chest counter useful this season?
The Treasure Hunters season runs from November 1, 2026 to December 5, 2026, according to VGC. Your count stays saved in your browser after that.
