Target

Changing this regroups what you have counted into rounds of the new size. Nothing is lost. The running total stays exactly as it was.

Your count is saved in this browser and will be here when you come back. It is not sent anywhere, and it is not shared between devices.

How it keeps count

The tool stores one number: everything you have counted since the last full reset. The current round and the number of completed rounds are worked out from that, which is why changing the target never loses anything. It only regroups the same total into rounds of a different size.

That sounds like a technical detail, and it is, but it is the difference between a counter you can trust with a long session and one that quietly throws work away when you adjust a setting.

Where the count lives

In your browser, on this device. It survives closing the tab and restarting the computer. It is not sent to a server, which also means it does not follow you to another device, and clearing your browser data will clear it.

Using it without looking

The circle is a button: tab to it and press Enter or Space. The count is announced as it changes, so it can be used with a screen reader, and the whole thing works on a phone without needing to aim at anything small.

Questions

Is my count saved if I close the tab?
Yes. It is stored in your browser and will be waiting when you return. It is never sent anywhere, so it stays on the device you counted on, a count started on your phone will not appear on your laptop.
What happens if I change the target part-way through?
Nothing is lost. The tool stores your running total rather than a round count, so switching from 100 to 33 simply regroups what you have already counted into rounds of 33. The total stays identical.
Why 33, 34 and 99?
The tasbih recited after each prayer is commonly counted in sets of 33, with the third set sometimes taken as 34 to reach 100. The 99 preset is there because it is another count people work to. They are offered as convenient presets, not as a recommendation about what to recite.
Can I use the keyboard?
Yes. Tab to the circle and press Enter or Space to count. The current number is announced as it changes, so the counter works with a screen reader without needing to see the ring.
I tapped one too many. Can I undo it?
Use 'Undo one'. It steps back correctly across a round boundary too, so if you over-counted on the last bead of a round it will take you back into the previous one rather than refusing.
Does it work offline?
Once the page has loaded, the counter itself needs no connection. It is running in your browser. Reloading the page while offline may not work unless your browser has cached it.
