About

Tasbeeha

Features
Read full description

Tasbeeh is a digital dhikr counter styled after the classic handheld marble counter. It opens at zero and needs no sign-up or account. • Tap the big button, or anywhere on the screen, to add one. There's no upper limit, and your count is saved even after you close the app. • Vibrate on every tap, only when you reach your goal, or not at all. Set a goal (like 33 or 100) and feel it when you get there. • Count with the volume buttons: choose volume up only, volume down only, or both, even with the screen locked. • Apple Watch app: count with the Digital Crown, Double Tap or a tap on the screen, synced with your iPhone. • Last 30 days: a chart of your daily counts with a goal line, your day streak, a report you can share as an image, and CSV export. • A daily reminder at the time you choose. • Your count syncs between your devices through iCloud, with no sign-in. • 23 colours plus a colour wheel, and a background that switches between day and night automatically. • Five languages: العربية, English, اردو, Français, Español, each with the right text direction. No ads. No tracking.
