Omer Counter: a compact calendar tool from Neohasid

Neohasid’s mobile Omer Counter showed days, weeks and the associated sefirah during the count between Passover and Shavuot.

Omer Counter was a mobile web tool from Neohasid, linked at neohasid.org/omercounter-m.html. The May 6, 2008 listing described a counter for the days between Passover and Shavuot in Jewish practice.

Days, weeks and another layer of meaning

The original description said the tool showed both days and weeks counted, together with the sefirah associated with each day. It also mentioned a more compact Small Omer Counter. Those details distinguish it from a generic countdown: the display combined a calendar position with a particular interpretive framework.

A compact version could serve a different screen layout without changing the underlying subject. The archive, however, does not explain location settings, sunset handling, reminders or which calendar calculations the implementation used. This profile does not supply those missing specifications.

Current operation and date accuracy of the historical page have not been verified. This is a software-history overview of Neohasid’s tool, not a current calendar determination or an instruction about religious observance. The original developer and mobile address are retained to identify the specific counter.
