Question 1

What is athar?

athar is a dhikr, istighfar and tasbeeh counter for iPhone. It lets you count your remembrance of Allah, organise your adhkar, track your progress and personalise the experience.

Question 2

Is athar free?

Yes — athar is free.

Question 3

Can I create my own adhkar?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can add your own dhikr entries, edit or delete them, and each keeps its own saved count.

Question 4

Are my counts saved automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Counts are saved on your device as you tap — there's nothing to save manually.

Question 5

Can I use athar offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The core counter works without an internet connection.

Question 6

Does athar require an account?

Accepted Answer

No. athar works without registration; your counts and preferences stay on your device.

Question 9

Does athar support Arabic and English?

Question 10

Can I customise the app colours?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Choose from eight colour themes or a custom theme, and pick System, Light or Dark mode.

Question 11

Does athar send reminders?

Accepted Answer

Only if you choose to. You can set optional daily reminders and change or disable them at any time.

Question 12

What happens if I uninstall the app?

Accepted Answer

Because your data is stored locally, uninstalling athar removes your counts and settings from the device.

Question 13

How do I back up my data?

Accepted Answer

athar does not offer cloud sync. Your device's own backup may include app data depending on your settings, but restoring it cannot be guaranteed.

Not at the moment. athar is launching on iPhone first. Android availability has not been announced.
