Online Tasbeeh Counter
A tasbeeh counter records each repetition of a dhikr so you can keep your attention on the words rather than the number. This one replaces a handheld digital tasbeeh or a misbaha of beads: set a target of 33, 99 or 100 and it stops there, keeps a separate counter for each dhikr, and saves your place if you are interrupted.
It is free, carries no advertising, and nothing you count is ever sent anywhere.
Auto uses your step size, stops on its own at a min or max limit, and records the whole run as a single undo.

Shortcuts: +/↑/Space increase · −/↓ decrease · R reset · N new counter · A auto count · Ctrl+Z undo · Ctrl+Y redo
Set the target, tap once per repetition, and let the counter hold the number. It stops at your target instead of running past it, and every counter is saved on your own device.
A tasbeeh counter, also written tasbih or spelled as a dhikr counter, is a device or tool used to keep count of repetitions during dhikr, traditionally a misbaha of 33 or 99 beads.

How to use the online tasbeeh counter
Set a target, count your dhikr, and let the counter stop you at the right number.
Name the counter after the dhikr
Tap the name and enter the dhikr you are reciting, so a glance at the list tells you which count is which.
Set your target as the maximum
Open “Min / max limits”, enable limits, and set the maximum to 33, 99 or 100. The counter will not go past it.
Turn on vibration if you prefer
Vibration confirms each tap without a sound, so you can keep your eyes closed or lowered and still know the tap registered.
Tap once for each repetition
Use the large button, or press Space on a keyboard. The count is written to your device immediately, so an interruption costs nothing.
Add a counter for each dhikr
Press “+ New” for the next dhikr rather than resetting, so all three counts of a tasbeeh sit side by side.
How people use a digital tasbeeh
A misbaha does one thing very well. A digital counter adds the things beads cannot do: an exact stop, several counts at once, and a number that survives being put down.
Tasbeeh after salah
The customary 33 SubhanAllah, 33 Alhamdulillah and 34 Allahu Akbar sit in three counters, each stopping at its own target.
Daily dhikr and wird
Keep a running daily count for a dhikr with no fixed target, and let it carry over between sittings rather than resetting.
Istighfar and salawat
Counts of 100 or 1,000 are easy to lose track of by hand. Set the target and the counter tells you when you have reached it.
During Ramadan
Keep separate counters for each night, or one accumulating count for the whole month, and duplicate it to archive the previous total.
Quiet or shared spaces
Sound and vibration are both off by default, so the counter is silent unless you choose otherwise.
When you are interrupted
The count is saved the moment you tap. Locking the phone or closing the tab does not lose your place.
Travelling without beads
Any browser on any phone works, with nothing to install and no account, so a borrowed device works just as well.
Teaching children to count dhikr
A visible number and a target that stops make the structure of a tasbeeh easy to follow.
Common dhikr counts and how to set them
Most dhikr has a customary number attached to it. Setting that number as the counter's maximum before you begin means the tool tells you when you have finished, instead of you having to watch the number while reciting.
| Count | Commonly used for | Counter setting |
|---|---|---|
| 33 | Each of the first two dhikr after salah | Maximum 33, step 1 |
| 34 | The third dhikr after salah | Maximum 34, step 1 |
| 99 | A full round of a 99-bead misbaha | Maximum 99, step 1 |
| 100 | Istighfar and salawat counts | Maximum 100, step 1 |
| 300 | Longer daily wird | Maximum 300, or step 10 with maximum 30 rounds |
| 1,000 | Extended salawat | Maximum 1000, step 1 |
For a long count such as 1,000, some people prefer to count rounds of 100 rather than every repetition. Set the step size to 100 and the maximum to 1000, then tap once per completed round: the display reads the true total while you only press it ten times.
Using a digital counter without it becoming a distraction
The point of a counter is to remove the number from your attention, not add a screen to it.
Set the target first, then put the screen away
With a maximum set you do not need to look. The counter stops when you arrive.
Turn vibration on and sound off
Haptic confirmation lets you keep your eyes lowered and confirms the tap without noise in a shared space.
One counter per dhikr, not one you reset
Resetting loses the record. Separate counters let all three counts of a tasbeeh sit side by side.
Use a step for long counts
For a thousand, count rounds of a hundred with the step set to 100. Ten taps rather than a thousand, with a display that still reads the true total.
Duplicate before you reset
If you want to keep a day's or a month's total, duplicate the counter first. The copy holds the record and the original starts again.

Frequently asked questions
How do I count 33, 33 and 34 for tasbeeh?
Create three counters and name them after each dhikr. Set the maximum to 33 on the first two and 34 on the third. Each stops on its own target, so you never have to hold three separate numbers in mind.
Is a digital tasbeeh counter acceptable to use?
Scholars differ on the preference for counting on the fingers, on beads, or with a device, and the question is one for your own scholar rather than a web page. This tool simply provides the count as accurately as a misbaha would.
Can I use it without any sound?
Yes. Sound and vibration are both switched off by default and are separate toggles, so the counter is completely silent unless you turn one on. Vibration alone gives confirmation without noise.
Will the counter stop at 99 or 100?
Yes, if you set it. Open “Min / max limits”, enable limits, and enter your target as the maximum. The counter refuses to go past it and shows an “At maximum” message.
Does it keep my count if I close the page?
Yes. Every tap is written to your browser's storage immediately, so closing the tab, locking your phone or restarting the device does not lose the count.
Can I keep a separate count for each dhikr?
Yes, with no limit. Press “+ New” for each one and give it a name. All the counts stay visible together in the list, each with its own target.
Is my dhikr count private?
Completely. There is no account, no analytics on what you count, and no server involved. The number exists only in your own browser on your own device.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Yes. After the page has loaded once it works entirely offline, so a mosque basement or an aeroplane with no signal makes no difference.
Can I use it during travel or in a mosque with no signal?
Yes. Once the page has loaded once it works entirely offline, so no signal makes no difference to counting. Your counts stay on your device throughout.
How do I keep a monthly total during Ramadan?
Keep one counter running for the whole month rather than resetting nightly. If you want a per-night record as well, duplicate the counter at the end of each night and rename the copy with the date.
Will the screen turn off while I am reciting?
That depends on your phone's own screen timeout, which the page does not override. Increasing the timeout in your device settings, or using focus mode, keeps it usable for longer sessions.
Can I count on behalf of someone else?
Yes. Create a separate named counter for each person or intention. Nothing is shared or transmitted, so the counters are simply labels you control.
Why do Muslims use tally counters?
To keep an accurate count of dhikr, the remembrance of God, without holding the number in mind while reciting. Phrases such as SubhanAllah and Alhamdulillah are commonly repeated 33 or 99 times after prayer, and a counter keeps attention on the words.
What is one tasbeeh equal to?
It depends on usage. As a unit it usually means a full round of 100, most often 33 SubhanAllah, 33 Alhamdulillah and 34 Allahu Akbar. It can also mean a single utterance of SubhanAllah, or the string of beads itself.
How many beads does a misbaha have?
Traditionally 33 or 99, sometimes 100. A 33-bead string is run three times to reach 99. This counter mirrors either arrangement: set the maximum to 33 and use three counters, or set a single counter's maximum to 99 or 100.
Can I count dhikr on my fingers instead?
Yes, and many scholars consider counting on the fingers preferable, citing the Prophet's recommendation. Beads, stones and digital counters are widely held to be permissible aids. The question is one for your own scholar rather than a web page.
