Free for one account. CountDeck shows your live Bluesky followers on your Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy: today, this week and this month, with a goal and the date of your next milestone.
Why your follower count looks wrong
- Follows live in the follower’s account. A follow is a record in the repository of the person who follows, not in yours. Bluesky adds those records up to get your number.
- Blocks don’t lower the count. Blocking someone doesn’t remove their follow, so an account you blocked can still be counted.
- The followers list can be shorter than the number. Accounts hidden from you, such as ones you blocked, drop out of the list but not out of the count. Counting the list by hand never matches.
- Our number can be a little behind. Bluesky’s public API caches profiles for 30 seconds, and we keep each count for up to a minute, so a new follow can take about a minute and a half to show here.
Following count too high? Deleted and suspended accounts stay in it. The follow-back checker counts those dead follows and lists who doesn’t follow you back.
How CountDeck counts
CountDeck reads the follower number on the public profile, from Bluesky's public API. No login and no app password are needed for public counts. Bluesky counts are exact, not rounded.
- No login or app password: just your handle. Nothing is posted, liked or followed.
- We save one count a day for every handle someone looks up, so its page gets a real history. Nothing before that day is filled in.
- Want a page removed? Email privacy@countdeck.app and we delete its history.
- No ad or tracking SDKs. Servers in the EU.

Can I see someone's follower history?
Yes, for any public Bluesky account: type the handle above. You get the live count and one count a day since CountDeck started tracking it. History starts the first day someone looks the account up; nothing earlier is filled in.
Why is my count different from the app?
Mostly timing: Bluesky's public API caches profiles for 30 seconds and this site for up to a minute, so a new follow can take about a minute and a half to show here. Blocks don't lower the count, and the followers list in the app can be shorter than the number.
Can I hide my follower count?
No. Bluesky has no setting that hides your follower count. The only related setting is logged-out visibility, which hides your profile from people who aren't signed in; CountDeck can't read those profiles either.
How often does it update?
The count on this page is at most about a minute and a half old, and CountDeck saves one count a day for the history. Your phone refreshes widgets through the day, about every 30 minutes when it allows. Tap the time on a widget for a new number.
Can I put it on my Lock Screen?
Yes. CountDeck shows your Bluesky follower count on your iPhone Lock Screen, Home Screen and StandBy. It's free for one account.
