Digital tasbih counter: tasbeeh with targets and saved counters

A simple digital tasbih for counting your dhikr when you do not have prayer beads to hand. Tap the large button, or press the space bar on a computer, and the count goes up by one. Set a target of 33, 99 or 100 or any number you like, and the counter tells you when each round is complete, with a vibration on phones that support it. Keep several counters with names you choose, each with its own count and target, and switch to a dark full-screen mode for counting at night. Counts are saved in your browser on your device; nothing is uploaded and there is no sign-up.

Quick answer

Tap the large button or press Space to add one. Choose a target (33, 99, 100 or a custom number) and the counter shows your place in the round and how many rounds you have completed, and vibrates at the target where the phone and browser allow it. Your counters stay saved in this browser until you clear its data.

Counting only · no text or rulings

How to use the Tasbih Counter

  1. Give the counter a name of your choice, or add more counters for different adhkar.
  2. Choose a target of 33, 99 or 100, enter your own, or count with no target.
  3. Tap the large button or press Space to count; use Undo 1 if you tap by mistake.
  4. Switch to dark full screen if you like, and press Reset when you want to start again.

Counting and targets

Each tap adds one to the counter you have selected. With a target set, the line under the button shows how far you are in the current round, such as 12 of 33, and how many rounds you have completed. When a round is complete, the button flashes and, on phones that support it, vibrates twice, and counting simply carries on into the next round, so a target of 33 lets you count three rounds of 33 without resetting. Choose No target to count freely. Undo 1 takes back an accidental tap.

Several counters, saved on your device

You can keep up to 20 counters, each with its own name, count and target, and switch between them from the list. Names are whatever you type; the page shows no dhikr wording of its own. Counts are saved in your browser’s local storage on this device as you go, so they are still there if you close the tab or restart the phone. They are not sent anywhere and do not move to your other devices, and clearing your browsing data or using a private window removes them. Reset sets the selected counter to zero after you confirm.

Vibration, keyboard and full screen

Vibration uses the browser’s Vibration API. MDN notes that it does not work in some widely used browsers, that it needs you to have interacted with the page, and that silent or do-not-disturb mode can stop the device vibrating, so watch for the flash on the button as well. On a computer, the space bar and Enter key count whenever you are not typing in a field. Dark full screen hides everything except the counter on a black background, which is easier on the eyes at night; press the button again or Escape to leave it.

Beads or a screen: practical differences

A string of beads needs no battery, makes no light and lets you keep your eyes closed, while a screen counter keeps an exact total, remembers several counts at once and shows how many rounds you have finished. Many people use both: beads in the mosque or on a walk, the phone when they want a running total for a long count. Neither changes what you recite; this page only helps you keep the number.

What this counter is, and is not

This is a counting aid for your own dhikr. It does not show any words to recite, and it does not give rulings on which adhkar to say, how many times or when; numbers such as 33 are offered only as common round sizes for counting. For those questions, ask a scholar, a teacher or your local mosque.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use this digital tasbih counter?

Tap the large button or press Space to count. Pick a target such as 33 or 99 and the counter shows your progress in each round and vibrates at the target where supported.

Does the counter keep my count if I close the page?

Yes. Counts are saved in this browser on this device and come back when you return. They are removed if you clear your browsing data or use a private window.

Why does my phone not vibrate when I reach the target?

Some browsers do not support vibration, and silent or do-not-disturb mode can block it. The button still flashes at the target, and the progress line shows the round is complete.

Can I keep separate counters for different adhkar?

Yes. Add up to 20 counters, name each one as you like, and switch between them. Each keeps its own count and target.

Does the tasbih counter show the words of the dhikr?

No. It only counts, and you name each counter yourself. For what to recite and how often, ask a scholar or your local mosque.
