Question 1

What does the red button do?

Accepted Answer

Each press makes a click and adds one to a worldwide count that every visitor shares. That is all it does, on purpose.

Question 2

What is my number?

Accepted Answer

Your first press is your number: the place that press took in the worldwide queue. It is kept on your device and never changes, however many more times you press.

Question 3

Does pressing it more than once do anything?

Accepted Answer

It adds one more to the worldwide count each time, and the button talks back at round numbers, but your own number stays the one you got first. Daily totals are published in the press log at pressitonce.com/log.

Question 4

What is a golden press?

Accepted Answer

For one dollar you get a single press with the button turned gold. Golden presses are counted separately and kept for all time.

Question 5

Is there an app or an account?

Accepted Answer

No. It is one web page, it works on any phone or computer, and your browser stores your number and unconfirmed presses. Paid golden presses use payment-session records; traffic sources are recorded in aggregate.
