3 Check number of checks

Is it possible to show only the number of Kings check and not the other pieces to clearly and immediately find out the number of checks and avoid confusion?
I don't understand. What are "other pieces checks"? You can only check the king. Where in game analysis can you see the number of checks in a game? (Well, I guess you can count the '+'es in the PGN)

At chess.com, there's 3 + signs at the left side that lights up and clearly shows how many checks you already have. When playing 3 check, this is very helpful. When playing at lichess, I sometimes lose count of many checks I already have. You need to look at the right side and count the number of King pieces. However, you can't immediately tell because the other captured pieces are there especially when it's a bullet game. In a 3 check variant, it would be better if only the King pieces serving as counter are there and not the other captured pieces.
@chessph2018 In threecheck, Under the Time Control section there is Kings that shows how much you have checked and the opponent also has it

this shows 3 kings that means you have checked you opponent 3 times
During the game however, you'll also see the other captured pieces making it harder to count the King pieces.
3 check tournaments don't usually have increments. I do count in my mind but sometimes I lost count. It will really help a player a lot with a better visual counter.
