Amber Tasbih

Amber Tasbih is a digital tasbih and dhikr counter that works fully offline, with no account and no data collection. Count with a tap or with the volume buttons, choose from four counter styles and 59 color journeys, and track your practice with streaks and a calendar heatmap. The app now runs in English, Arabic, and Urdu, with a right-to-left layout.

What it does

Amber Tasbih turns your phone into a digital misbaha for dhikr and zikr. Each tap moves the count forward in a round of 33, the way counting feels on a string of prayer beads. A finished round is saved as a lap automatically. The app works fully offline, so it counts in airplane mode with no internet connection, no account, and no sign-up.

You can pick from four counter styles, Aurora Beads, Silk, Breath, and Obsidian, and 59 color journeys that shift gently as your count rises toward its target. Dark journeys are built for dhikr at night, so the screen does not flash white in a dark room. Dhikr text is shown in Arabic script using Amiri calligraphy, with a transliteration next to it.

How it works

Open the app and tap the counter, or use the volume buttons, to add to your count. Every tap saves instantly to on-device storage, so your running count survives an app restart or a force-stop.

A long press resets the counter, with an undo option if you reset by accident. You can change the counter style or color journey at any time, directly from the counter screen.
