How the Prayer or Mantra Counter Works
The Prayer or Mantra Counter adds 1 for each recitation and marks every completed round of a set length, such as 33, 99 or 108. A soft sound or vibration at the end of each round keeps your eyes closed and your focus on the words.
- Pick the round length: Choose 33, 99, 100 or 108, or enter a custom number.
- Tap per recitation: Tap anywhere on the screen after each prayer, dhikr or mantra.
- Feel the round marker: A gentle signal marks the end of each round.
- Read the totals: See the count in the current round, rounds done and the overall total.
Prayer or Mantra Counter Formula
The Prayer or Mantra Counter overall total equals completed rounds multiplied by round length, plus the count in the current round.
