By practice
How these are worked out
- Days follow the calendar of this device. Repetitions are counted on the day they were made, so a session that runs past midnight is split correctly.
- A day counts toward a run of days when at least one repetition was made that day. The current run includes today, or ends yesterday if you have not counted yet today.
- Each session is counted once. Interrupted sessions keep their repetitions but are never shown as completed.
Statistics appear after your first counted session. Every number will come from sessions saved on this device.
Settings
Changes apply at once and are remembered on this device.

Deleting history keeps your practices and settings. Resetting everything removes all of it from this browser. Neither can be undone, so export a backup first.
Privacy
- No account. The counting happens in this browser, and the tool sends none of your counts, practices, notes or settings anywhere.
- Your history, practices, notes and settings are stored in this browser's local storage on this device. They leave it only when you export a file yourself.
- Local storage is not encrypted. Anyone who can use this browser profile can see the data, and clearing the browser's site data deletes it.

How to Use the Prayer Counter
Pick a practice
Tap the name above the counter to choose a saved practice, such as one mala of 108, dhikr in three rounds of 33 or five decades of the rosary, or keep a simple count.
Set a target and a round
In the panel beside the counter, pick a target for the session and the length of a round, or type your own. Each completed round and the target can give a message, a soft chime or a vibration.
Choose numbers or beads
Digital shows a large number with rings for the target and the round. Beads shows a ring of beads that moves on by one with every count. Tap anywhere on the circle in either mode.
Finish to save
Press Finish when you are done. The session goes to History with its count, time, target and notes, and a new session with the same settings is ready.
Look back
History lists your sessions by day with filters. Stats shows your totals, the repetitions by day, week and month, the practices you use most and your runs of days.
Why Use This Prayer Counter?
ποΈ For any tradition
Count dhikr, japa, the rosary, breaths or affirmations with any target and any round length. The example practices are only a start: rename, change or delete them freely.
πΏ Numbers or a ring of beads
A large number you can read from across the room, or a ring of beads with a larger first bead where each round starts, in wooden, plain, gold or black and white beads.
π Honest statistics
Totals, time, runs of days and charts are worked out only from the sessions saved in your browser. A session that runs past midnight is split between the two days.
β¨οΈ Keys and clickers
Count with Space or a key of your choice, such as the Page Down key that most page turners and presentation clickers send, so you can keep your eyes closed or your phone in your pocket.
π Easy to read
English, Hindi or Spanish, a high contrast setting, four counter sizes, reduced motion and screen reader announcements every count, every ten, every hundred or only at rounds.
π Nothing uploaded
There is no account and no upload. Everything stays in this browser on this device, nothing is saved until you count or change something, and a backup file is yours to keep.
Prayer Counters Explained
πΏ Counts in different traditions
Prayer beads help people keep count without thinking about the numbers. Many Hindu and Buddhist malas have 108 beads, many Muslim prayer beads have 99 or 33, and the Catholic rosary is prayed as five decades of ten Hail Marys. The example practices follow these customs; change them to match the way you were taught.
β±οΈ How the numbers are worked out
The timer counts only the time the page is open: if the page is closed or the device sleeps for more than a minute and a half, it pauses at the last moment it was known to be open and offers to resume. Days follow your device's calendar, and a run of days counts the days in a row with at least one repetition.
πΎ Saving and backups
Your sessions are kept in this browser's own storage, which is not encrypted, so anyone using this browser profile can see them. Export a backup file now and then, or a spreadsheet file of your history. History keeps up to 5,000 sessions and 200 practices.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I count with Prayer Counter Pro?
Any repetition you want to keep track of: dhikr on a tasbih, japa on a mala, the prayers of the rosary, breaths in meditation, an affirmation or anything else. You choose the target and the length of a round, from 1 up to 10,000 for a round and up to ten million for a target, so the counter fits the way you were taught.
Do I need to set anything up first?
No. Tap the large circle, or press Space, and the count starts at once with a timer. Choosing a practice, a target or a round length is optional and can be done at any time, even in the middle of a session.
What is the difference between a target and a round?
A round repeats: with a round of 33 the counter marks 33, 66, 99 and so on, with an optional message, chime or vibration each time. A target is the total for the session: with a target of 99 the session is complete at 99, counting still goes on after it, and History shows the session as completed.
What does Beads mode do?
It turns the circle into a ring of beads that moves on by one bead with every count, with a larger first bead where each round starts. You can tap anywhere on the circle; you never have to hit a single bead. Rounds longer than 120 are drawn with 120 beads, each standing for an equal part of the round.
How are history, runs of days and statistics worked out?
Finish saves a session to History with its count, time, target and notes. Days follow the calendar of your device, and repetitions are counted on the day they were made, so a session that runs past midnight is split correctly. A run of days counts the days in a row with at least one repetition. Every number comes from the sessions saved in your browser; nothing is estimated.
Can I count with a keyboard, a page turner or a clicker?
Yes. Space counts by default, and Settings lets you choose another key, such as Page Down, which most page turners and presentation clickers send. The key works while the counter is on screen, once you have tapped or clicked in the tool, and never while you are typing in a box. Ctrl+Z undoes the last change.
Is anything I count sent anywhere?
No. Your counts, practices, notes and settings are kept only in this browser on this device, and nothing is saved at all until you first count or change something. Export a backup file from Settings to keep a copy or move to another device, and use Reset all app data to remove everything.
How is it different from Digital Mala?
Digital Mala is made for japa: a 108-bead mala with thirty mantras, sankalpa vows, sandhya times and lunar days. Prayer Counter Pro is a plain counter for any tradition: any round length, a large number or a ring of beads, saved practices, and a history with statistics. Its breath counting simply counts; Prana Breathing Exercises guides the pace of each breath.
Which languages can the counter use?
English, Hindi and Spanish. Choose one under Settings, Language, or let it follow the language of your device. The guide on this page stays in English.
