Prayer Counter
Set to 33 — tap to count, and the number below shows how many remain. Change it to 99, 108 or any count under Settings.
Other counters
Counted repetition appears in most religious traditions, and almost all of them developed a physical counting aid for it — prayer beads exist precisely because keeping count while concentrating on the words is difficult. A digital counter does the same job, with the advantage that it remembers where you stopped.
Common counts
| Count | Tradition | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 33 | Islamic tasbeeh | Each phrase said 33 times after prayer |
| 99 | Islamic tasbeeh | Three sets of 33, or the names of God |
| 100 | General | A round hundred for any repetition |
| 108 | Hindu and Buddhist japa mala | The standard mala has 108 beads |
| 59 | Catholic rosary | Beads on a five-decade rosary |
| 1000 | Extended practice | Long-form repetition sessions |
Counting to a set number
The limit is on by default here and set to 33, because in this use the count almost always has a fixed target. The number underneath shows how many repetitions remain, and the counter stops when you reach the total rather than running past it.
Change the maximum under Settings for 99, 108, or whatever your practice uses. Reset returns it to zero for the next round.
Counting without looking at a screen
The point of a counting aid is that it doesn't take attention. Vibration feedback lets you count with a thumb, phone in hand or in a pocket, without watching the number — the same way beads pass through fingers.
A dark background is the default here to keep the screen unobtrusive in a quiet or dim room. Nothing is uploaded, and the count stays on the device.
