Why Online Tasbih Counter Instead of Another Mobile App

Many online counters and mobile apps require unnecessary steps before you can start counting:

Download an app
Create an account
Deal with ads
Grant permissions you don't need

For something as simple as counting, that adds unnecessary friction.

Online Tasbih Counter was created to offer a faster, simpler alternative that works instantly in any browser.

Open → Click → Count.

No signup. No installation. No distractions.

Although designed for digital tasbih and dhikr, it can also be used for many other purposes:

📿 Digital Tasbih & Dhikr
💪 Workout repetitions
🎮 Game score tracking
📦 Inventory counting
🎓 Classroom activities
✅ Daily habit tracking

Keeping the experience simple required careful attention to usability. Every feature was added with one goal: making the tool fast, intuitive, and distraction-free while avoiding unnecessary complexity.

Feedback from fellow makers is always appreciated.

Would you use a browser-based counter instead of installing an app?

    I’d be careful not to add too many features too early.The main value seems to be the low friction: open → click → count. That’s what makes it different from downloading another app.The bigger question might be: which use case would make people come back repeatedly?Workout reps, inventory, classroom counting, and dhikr are pretty different jobs. I’d probably test which one has the strongest repeat use before adding more features.

      Thanks, that's a great point. I intentionally started with a simple "open → click → count" experience because I didn't want feature creep to get in the way of usability.

      You're also right about the different use cases. My plan is to watch usage patterns and feedback before deciding where to go deeper. If one audience,whether it's workouts, dhikr, inventory, or something else,shows stronger repeat usage, I'll prioritize building features for that group instead of trying to serve everyone at once.

      Really appreciate the insight!

        I’d treat recruiter-reviewed match → employer action as the first test: for one fixed cohort, track matches shown, employers who engage, and interview requests within the same time window. What result would be strong enough for you to call the shortlist promising?

    I'd resist the temptation to add too many features.

    The reason I'd open a browser counter is because it's faster than every alternative. Every extra option has to protect that advantage rather than dilute it.

      Exactly Man! that's the principle I'm trying to stick to. Speed and simplicity are the core value. If a feature adds extra clicks or makes the interface feel cluttered, it probably doesn't belong.
      My goal is to keep it as the fastest way to start counting while only adding features that genuinely improve the experience without slowing it down.
      Thanks for pointing that out,Aryan!

        Glad it resonated.

        Reading your reply left me with a question about how you'll protect that principle as the product evolves. I'd rather explain why I'm asking in the context of your product than reduce it to a generic comment.

        If you're open to it, what's the best email to reach you on?
