One big death number stops meaning much by the third boss. What viewers actually want to know is how this fight is going, and whether you are beating your best. In Kloot a counter can be split into segments, one per boss or level. Each segment keeps its own count and its own personal best, and while a session is running the counter can show tonight’s deaths next to the all-time total. You press every button yourself, so nothing resets at the wrong moment.
In Kloot (Creator or Pro), open your Deaths counter, go to Segments & sessions, set “Personal best is” to Fewest and turn on the Segment, Tonight, All-time and Personal best lines. Press Start session when you go live, then “Next segment…” and type the boss name. Each boss keeps its own count and personal best.
What you’ll build
A death counter that reads “Malenia 14 · PB 9”, with tonight vs all-time underneath, moved to the next boss with one press.
Open the Counters tool and add a counter from the Deaths template, or open the one you already run. Save it once — segments attach to a saved counter. Check it is on stream from your single Kloot browser source in OBS.
Open Segments & sessions. Leave Counting mode on Tally and set “Personal best is” to Fewest — for deaths, fewer is better. A kill or score counter would use Most.
Running a speedrun category instead? The Attempts mode shows “attempt 37” and Reset starts the next attempt.
Under “Show on the overlay”, turn on Segment, Tonight, All-time and Personal best. A line only appears once it has a real number, so a brand-new boss shows no made-up PB.
On the counter card in your panel, press Start session. Tonight now counts from zero while the all-time total keeps climbing. If you want the counter itself back at its starting value each stream, tick “Reset when I start a session” — it is off unless you choose it.
Kloot never starts or ends a session for you. Going offline without pressing End session just leaves it running until you do.
Reach a new boss and press “Next segment…” on the counter card or its deck key, then type the name — Malenia, World 4, Ornstein & Smough. The last boss is filed away with its final count, its personal best updates if you beat it, and the counter starts the new fight from its starting value. Come back to Malenia next stream and her PB is still there.
Want the change to land on stream? Turn on Boss card under Milestones and a short “Now · Malenia” card plays inside the counter.
At the end of stream press End session. The session is saved to the counter’s history and a recap card opens with tonight, all-time and the personal best for each counter — yours to download, never posted for you.
Once it’s built, running a counter is four keys — show it, bump it, correct it, reset it. Here’s the whole loop, and what each side sees.
Tap the Show/Hide key when the session starts. The counter fades into its corner at the starting value — label above, number below, styled the way you built it.
A kill lands, a win banks, chat loses a bet — you press +1 and the number pulses with a flash of color. You are the source of truth, so it works in every game ever made and never breaks on a patch.
Double-tapped, or counted one that didn’t count? Press −1 and it steps back with a red flash. No menus, no editing mid-game — the correction is one key, same as the bump.
Match over — press Reset and the counter snaps back to its starting value for the next round. Leave it on screen between games or toggle it off; the counter keeps its style and corner for next stream.
Anything with a number worth watching climb. The counters that earn their corner:
When: Shooters, battle royales, ranked grinds — any stream where tonight has a score.
Why it works: A running kill or win count gives the whole session a scoreboard. Viewers who join at hour three instantly know how it’s going.
When: Souls-likes, roguelikes, rage games — anywhere chat is counting your failures anyway.
Why it works: It’s the chat-favorite running joke: every death bumps the number, and the number becomes the story of the stream. Own the bit before chat does.
When: Push-ups per death, jump-scare tallies, “every time I say the word” counters.
Why it works: The challenge only works if the count is public and live. One key per event keeps it honest — and the climbing number is the content.
When: Sub goals, donation milestones, “100 wins this month” arcs.
Why it works: Set a goal and the counter shows “86 / 100” with a celebration when it crosses the line — so the whole room is watching the same finish line.
Wins, deaths, a huge challenge number, or a goal with a finish line — every preview below is the real overlay renderer, ticking live in your colors.
The classic session tracker: green number, quiet label, pulse on every bump.
Deshawn runs ranked nights with “Wins” top-left all session. Every victory is one press of +1 — and clips of the win always have the score in frame.
One +1 key bumps it liveRed accent, flash animation — the number chat came to watch climb.
MaraPlays keeps a “Deaths” counter through every Souls run. Chat spams the skull each time it flashes, and the final number is the stream title tomorrow.
Bump it from your phone mid-rageNumber size up to 120px, label below — readable from a phone stream at arm’s length.
“Push-ups” at 72px for a fitness-forfeit stream: Kai taps +1 as each rep lands, and the huge number is legible even on the IRL cam.
Reset key clears it for round twoSet a target and the counter shows “value / goal” — with a celebration when it crosses.
A subathon with “New subs 96 / 100” on screen: Tasha bumps it as subs land, and the confetti burst fires itself the moment the count reaches the goal.
Celebration fires on the goal — no extra keyNo. All-time starts counting from your first press after segments came to your counter, so it never invents history. Tonight counts only while a session is running.
The best finished segment with that name. For a death counter set “Personal best is” to Fewest; for kills, wins or score set it to Most. A boss you have never finished has no PB yet, and the line stays hidden until it does.
Your mod can bump the count with a co-pilot link, but starting a segment or a session stays with you — from your panel, your phone or the counter’s deck key.
No. Kloot never reads your game. You press “Next segment…” and type the name, which is why it works in every game and nothing breaks when a game patches.
