Septem: Hajj Counter

A silent counter for Tawaf and Sa'i. Hold your phone or wear it on your wrist — Septem keeps the count so you don't have to look.

Seven, kept by your hand.

Septem is a quiet counter for the two seven-segment rituals of Hajj and Umrah — Tawaf around the Kaaba, and Sa'i between Safa and Marwa. Tap anywhere to advance, feel the haptic confirm the count, and let the seventh tap meet you with a soft completion pulse. No sound, ever. No screen-watching required.

That's it. One screen. No account. No cloud. No subscription. No ads.

KEY FEATURES

• Tawaf and Sa'i modes — each keeps its own count, in line with the seven-segment tradition of both rituals • Tap anywhere on the screen — Septem is built to be held, not stared at • Silent haptic feedback at every tap and a stronger pulse at the seventh — Soft, Medium, or Strong • Apple Watch app — count from your wrist with the phone in your pocket, the same silent haptic at every tap • Sound is never used, in keeping with the dignity of the ritual • Optional dua line — a short In the name of Allah, with translation, before each round • Long-hold to reset — accidental taps stay accidental • One-step undo for the moments you weren't sure • English and Arabic with full right-to-left layout • Persistent count — you can put the phone down between rounds and come back • Designed for iOS 17 with full Dynamic Type

WHO IT'S FOR

For the first-time Hajj pilgrim who'd rather not pull a kitchen-timer kind of app into the Mataf. For the Umrah regular who already tried the all-in-one suites and just wanted a counter. For anyone whose hand has rested on a tasbih and wished a phone could be that quiet.

PRIVACY

Septem stores everything on your device. No accounts, no servers, no analytics, no third parties — we never see your count, your mode, or your settings. The app makes no network calls of any kind.

ABOUT

Septem is the third indie release from SmallPaper — the studio behind Tinct: Ink Recipes and Steep: Gongfu Cha Timer. Made for the rituals that ask you to count to seven, by people who believe a phone can know its place.

Urdu and Malay arrive in v1.1, once a native-speaker review of the Arabic strings closes the loop.

One-time purchase. Yours forever.
