Connect Fortnite Chest Counter to Your Dashboard
No command line required. Open the Windows app, enter a pairing code and leave Auto Sync running. Your completed Fortnite replays will be analyzed locally and matched statistics uploaded to your private Dashboard.
Setup in six steps
Create your private Dashboard
Open your Dashboard and select Create Private Dashboard. Save the long, 64-character access token securely. It cannot be recovered later, and anyone who has it can view or delete your data.
Once you are signed in, open Devices & Sync. You will generate an eight-character pairing code after opening the Windows app.
Download the beta Windows Agent
Click the button below to get the Windows 10/11 x64 desktop package (approximately 125 MB). The public ZIP is hosted on Cloudflare R2; no GitHub login is needed.
↓ Download Fortnite Chest Counter for Windows (.zip)
Before a release is published, the download page clearly says it is unavailable rather than linking to a non-existent file. Maintainers can also retrieve historical builds from GitHub Actions.
Right-click the downloaded ZIP and choose Extract All. Open the extracted folder and double-click ChestCounter.Desktop.exe. Keep the complete agent folder together with the application. Do not open the EXE from inside the ZIP preview.
The app includes .NET 10, so you do not need to install anything else or open PowerShell. The program is currently unsigned; run it only if you trust the official download source.
Enter your Pair Code and connect
After creating a Dashboard, save your one-time private access token and choose Start setup. The guided popup explains the download. Once the Windows app is open, click Generate Pairing Code in the popup. Copy the eight-character code to the Windows app and click Pair & Connect. Return to the browser and click Check connection. The website verifies that a device was really paired. You can also generate a code in Devices & Sync.
The code expires in ten minutes and works only once. Successful setup shows Device paired in the desktop app. The connection is stored securely on your Windows account, so you do not need to enter a new code every time.
Play Fortnite: Auto Sync runs by default
Enable replay recording in Fortnite's settings on your Windows PC and play normally. The desktop app automatically watches completed replay files and syncs the match statistics once their recording is finished.
You can minimize or close the main window: the program stays in your Windows notification area (system tray). To fully stop monitoring, right-click its tray icon and choose Quit. Auto Sync does not yet start automatically when Windows boots.
Optional: Choose Replay File manually
If you want to test without a Fortnite account, click Choose Replay File in the desktop app and select an authorized, completed local replay. Both .replay files and Fortnite's extensionless UnsavedReplay-... files can be selected.
The app makes a local copy into the monitored folder and starts processing it. No manual renaming, folder creation or command-line operation is needed. Your original file stays unchanged; raw replay files are not uploaded to the API.
Privacy: Use only your own Replay or a sample you have permission to test. Statistics from a shared replay describe its recorded player, not necessarily you. Never redistribute other players' raw replay files.
Check Sync Status and your Dashboard
The desktop app shows whether the device is connected, whether Auto Sync is running, the number of synced matches and any pending uploads. The Activity log reports messages such as Parsed replay and Synced.
Click Open Dashboard in the desktop app and then Refresh data on the website. Your observed Standard, Rare and Sprite Chest totals and recent matches should now appear.
If the match is not there, check the Activity log first. Some replay versions are unsupported, and events missing from a replay cannot be recovered or assigned to a player.
Questions & solutions
Where do I download the Windows app?
Use the official Windows download link. It serves the currently published ZIP from Cloudflare R2. No GitHub account is needed. If the release is not yet available, the download page will say so. The EXE is a portable unsigned beta, not an MSI installer.
Windows shows “Windows protected your PC” or “Unknown publisher”
The current test release is not digitally signed, so Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may warn about an unrecognized app. Verify it came from the authorized project's GitHub Actions, not a link shared by a stranger. If you trust the source and the dialog allows it, choose More info → Run anyway (更多信息 → 仍要运行). Do not disable Windows security protections. If Windows Smart App Control or an administrator policy blocks the app without offering this choice, stop and use a signed release when available. Signing reduces the warnings but does not guarantee SmartScreen trust for brand-new versions.
Nothing happens after I double-click ChestCounter.Desktop.exe
Extract the entire ZIP rather than running it inside the ZIP viewer. The desktop app needs the agent/ChestCounter.Agent.exe and agent/parser/ParserPoc.exe files alongside its own runtime. Run only the version from the trusted project source.
How do I resume the guided setup?
Open your private Dashboard. If no device is paired, you will see a Start guided setup button. The setup wizard is also available from the Dashboard top bar at any time. The Dashboard access token is secret and must be saved before moving to the setup steps.
The Pair Code is invalid or expired
Generate a fresh eight-character code from Dashboard → Devices & Sync. Use it within ten minutes. Do not enter the separate, longer 64-character Dashboard access token in the pairing field.
I clicked Choose Replay but the Dashboard is still empty
Confirm the desktop status says Connected and Auto Sync is watching. A completed replay must be compatible with the parser. The Activity log will show whether the file was parsed, uploaded or rejected. Internet access and an active device pairing are required.
Why are my counts not equal to the in-game Quest count?
This tool analyzes completed replays. Some chest events may be absent, and others cannot be reliably attributed to the recording player. Fortnite's in-game quest progress remains the authoritative counter.
Does the app keep working when I close its window?
Yes. Closing the window hides it in the system tray while monitoring continues. Quit explicitly from the tray menu to stop. The app does not yet auto-start after reboot.
Advanced command-line setup (maintainers)
The existing command-line Agent remains inside the agent folder for troubleshooting. Normal players do not need these commands.
.\ChestCounter.Agent.exe configure https://api.fortnitechestcounter.net.\ChestCounter.Agent.exe pair YOUR8CHARCODE.\ChestCounter.Agent.exe onceRun these from the extracted agent folder. Avoid running the CLI watcher and desktop watcher at the same time because both share local queue state.
